The Nigerian Shippers’ Council has said its regulatory interventions since November 2023 have protected more than N90.6bn and $1.348m in economic value for Nigerian shippers while advancing key reforms aimed at improving port efficiency, reducing the cost of doing business and strengthening Nigeria’s maritime sector.
Akutah Pius Ukeyima, executive secretary and chief executive officer of the Council, disclosed this on Saturday during a media luncheon with maritime editors in Lagos, where he presented a scorecard of the Council’s performance since assuming office.
According to him, the Council’s achievements align with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the policy direction of the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.
“Since assuming office in November 2023, the Management of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, under my leadership, has pursued a focused reform agenda to strengthen the Council’s role as Nigeria’s Port Economic Regulator and reposition it as a modern, efficient and globally competitive institution,” he said.
