The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has reaffirmed plans to deploy an advanced cargo information system, known as Cargo Tracking Note (CTN), in a bid to mitigate trade malpractices.
According to Nigerian daily newspaper This Day, NSC executive secretary Hassan Bello told Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) comptroller-general Hameed Ali that “all fraudulent practices, such as under-declaration of goods and concealment, would be checked once the CTN was installed at the ports”.
The introduction of an advanced cargo information system will essentially put a stop to the illicit acts and as a result boost revenue generation from Nigeria’s ports, said Bello.
