The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) recovered over N197 billion for shippers and port users in 2025 through regulatory interventions and dispute resolution efforts.
Public Relations Officer of the council, Rebecca Adamu, made this known in a statement where she quoted the Executive Secretary of the council, Pius Akutah, to have also said that a total of 183 complaints were filed by port users across the four quarters of 2025, while the second quarter recorded the highest recovery with over N175.8 billion retrieved following regulatory interventions.
The council said the recoveries reflect its continued efforts to protect the interests of shippers and ensure transparency in Nigeria’s maritime sector.
Akutah said the council resolved several complaints through its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) framework.
According to the council, the recoveries were recorded across the four quarters of 2025 following regulatory interventions in disputes involving port users.
Akutah said the council’s interventions align with its statutory mandate to protect shippers’ interests and promote transparency in port operations, while urging stakeholders to report service infractions for regulatory action.
