LCCI seeks urgent intervention of FG over Customs disruption for importers’business - Vanguard News

In a statement by the Director General of LCCI, Mr Muda Yusuf, he said the practice was a negation of the ease of doing business agenda of the government and it was hurting investors.

He said the chamber was concerned over the role of maritime police in the clearance of cargo at Lagos Ports, as there were reports of frequent obstruction of the release of cargo by Maritime police even when the release has been duly authorized by statutory agencies charged with the responsibility of cargo examination.

Muda disclosed that the LCCI has received reports of undue delay in the issuance of Pre-Arrival Assessment Report to importers, adding that the delays create bottlenecks which make the PAAR administration process vulnerable to corrupt practices.
