Operators, stakeholders list woes of maritime sector
As 2018 maritime year comes to an end, sector stakeholders and operators have indicated that regulatory and operational environment worsened during the year gone by.
They highlighted the difficult operational environment leading to the loss of revenue and man-hours, occasioned by worse level of congestion at the ports in Lagos, leading to frustration by importers and exporters as well as their agents.
They blamed some of the government agencies for their contribution to making port services more cumbersome. National President of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA, Tony Iju Nwabunike, speaking with Vanguard Maritime Report said, “2018 has been a tiring year for all of us in our industry because so many things were not in order.
