Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has barred export cargoes from accessing Lagos ports for two weeks.
NPA in a statement said the measure was aimed at easing gridlock and enhancing service delivery.
The statement which was signed by the Assistant General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications Division, Ibrahim Nasiru, said it takes effect today.
“As part of efforts to improve access into, and service delivery at the Lagos Ports Complex and the Tin Can Island Port, the Authority hereby announces a 14-day (Two weeks) suspension of export receipts at both ports and all satellite truck parks, with effect from Monday, 22/03/21.
“This development is necessitated by the need for consultations with export cargo stakeholders, and the Nigerian Export Promotion Council(NEPC) on the harmonisation of procedures required of owners of this category of cargo,” the statement noted.
