NICIS has reduced cargo delivery time - Ologbese
Contrary to media report that the newly-introduced Nigerian Integrated Customs Information System, NICIS, is causing delay of cargo delivery at the ports, a maritime stakeholder, Prince Olu Ologbese, has absolved Nigeria Customs Service of any blame, saying "the initiative is yielding result as the agency has recorded an increase in its revenue profile."
Ologbese said the NICIS initiative not only reduced the time of joint examination exercise, it has also reduced the issue of multiple documentation processes and proce-dures suffered by both importers and agents.Posted On:14-Jul-2018

Port projects under scrutiny
After the focus on rail projects in the new government s austerity drive, attention has now shifted to a proposed giant port in Selangor and an offshore development in Melaka.
