Massive congestion is looming at the ports in Lagos because consignees and their agents are not taking delivery of their cargos, the Seaport Terminal Operators Association of Nigeria has said.

STOAN said that while it was good that the seaports would be working to support government’s efforts at curtailing the spread of the coronavirus disease, there was a need to allow full movement of cargos across the country to ensure their operations were not hampered.

“There is a need, therefore, to appeal to importers to pick up their cargos and not return empties for next two weeks in order to allow the prioritisation of imports coming in. He added, “These government agencies are working at odds with the Federal Government’s policy on the ease of doing business.

How are the clearing agents suppose to get to work with the movement restriction order even if the customs are at their duty posts.

When custom officers are not at their duty posts.They are also staying at home too

Anticipatory reporting isn't fair reporting, it is scare mongering.
