The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC)

The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) says it hopes to achieve 80 per cent automation of the entire seaport processes on or before the end of the first half of the year.
The nation’s seaport economic regulator also vowed to sanction terminal operators who fail to digitize all their operations before the end of 2021.
The Executive Secretary of the council, Barr. Hassan Bello, dropped these hints at an interaction session with maritime correspondents in Lagos.
Bello, who said the council recovered $14,000 bribery proceeds from officials saddled with the responsibility of boarding and inspection of ships whenever they arrive at the Nigerian seaports, noted that “human interface and poor automation accounts for the slow turnaround of cargo in the country.”

At such a time of dwindling oil fortunes and resultant effect on the economy, the nation’s maritime industry is considered as key in filling some gaps.
This is even more so with the sector being adjudged as next to oil in contribution to the economy.
In the past few years, the sector has been generating at least about N3 trillion each year.
And this is formally. Informally, the sector could be raking over N4 trillion every year or more. This is if all the fraudulent practices in terms of under-declarations or under-invoicing and outright concealment being perpetrated by importers, customs agents and shipping agents are addressed. Capacity of the law enforcement agents to address issues of smuggling will also lead to increase in revenue generation from the sector.
