The Nigerian Association of Master Mariners believes that the Federal Government’s Trade Modernisation Project will revolutionize cargo clearance at the nation’s ports, ultimately boosting revenue and global visibility.
President of NAMM, Captain Tajudeen Alao, emphasized the importance of keeping up with technological advancements for efficient business operations. The project, signed on May 30, 2022, aims to implement paperless customs procedures for the Nigeria Customs Service.
Alao stressed the value of the project in terms of increased revenue and streamlined customs processes. General Manager of the Trade Facilitation Project, Mr Ahmed Ogunshola, highlighted the simplified import and export procedures and the potential for significant growth in government revenue.
The Trade Modernisation Project will bring Nigeria in line with global technological standards, making it easier for stakeholders in the trade value chain to navigate customs regulations and boost international trade.
