The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders has inaugurated a Presidential Compliance Team to tackle corrupt practices in the ports.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, leader of the team, explained that the initiative is in partnership with the federal government to promote compliance and facilitate trade at Nigerian seaports.
The compliance team has the mandate to ensure importers make correct declarations for Customs purpose, while at the same time ameliorating challenges faced by freight forwarders with shipping companies and terminal operators.
The taskforce would also abolish the use of camp boys by officers of Nigeria Customs Service, and strive to put an end to excessive sampling of imported products by agencies at the port.
