The Nigeria Customs Service has said there is a need to form a joint team with the Nigerian Ports Authority to redefine export activities through the installation of trackers.
This was contained in a statement by the acting Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi.
He also expressed commitment to enhancing the output of designated export processing terminals.
Adewale maintained that the two agencies need synergies to streamline the operations at the nation’s seaports.
“We need to form a joint team that will engage other government agencies to refine the activities of exporting goods through the installation of trackers.
“This will help to avoid delays and the diversion of goods. I want to assure you that the management team of the NCS will work with you.” Adewale said.
Earlier, the Managing Director of NPA, Muhammad Bello-Koko, congratulated the acting CGC.
He also sought the CG’s support to upgrade facilities at the Ikorodu Lighter Terminal and to decongest Lagos ports.
