Presidency charges Customs to clear goods in 2 days
This Day(Sokoto) - The Federal Government has charged the Nigerian Customs Service to “redouble its effort and ensure that goods are cleared within 2 days (48 hrs) as is the normal practice in other countries of the world, instead of the current average of 2 weeks. It has become imperative for the Nigerian Customs Service to reduce the cost of doing business in the country by ensuring efficiency in its operations and service delivery.”
If this provision is embraced by the port authority in Nigeria, it will be a welcome development for millions of Nigeria and foreigners involve in export and import business in Nigeria or those sending personal sending goods to the country. The question however is whether this can ever be possible considering the Nigerian factor and the pockets of those that will be affected by such a drastic measure.
