The Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise, Dr Muda Yusuf, has said that Nigerian ports are still grappling with high operational cost, extortion and weak application of technology.

According to him, it was important for all agencies at the ports to have operating hours that would accommodate the nature and character of the ports.

“The activities in our maritime sector are 24-hour activities. Therefore, it is imperative for all agencies working at the ports to have operating hours that accommodate the nature and character of the port’s ecosystem. Therefore, both the shipping companies and the terminal operators should operate working hours that reflect the character of the industry in order not to impose unnecessary hardship on importers and other players in the sector.

“The current practice, for instance, is that shipping companies open at 9 am and close at 4 pm, and in-between they observe a one-hour break. Some of the off-dock terminals do not open until 11 am. Some terminals don’t even work on weekends. This practice is inimical to the operations of business and the smooth processes of international trade. Additionally, some of the major terminals do not issue Terminal Delivery Orders after 4 pm.
