Shippers’ Council Wins 2009 Trade Facilitation Award

Nigerian Shippers’ Council has emerged winner of the 2009 West Africa Maritime Agency award in trade facilitation for being extremely responsive in the course of advancing the fortunes of Shippers in an increasingly competitive international trade.

The Award, which was presented to the Council by the Deputy Executive Secretary, Ghana Shippers’ Council, Mr. Emmanuel Martey on behalf of the organizers; West Africa Business Support Services, was the climax of the one-day 2009 West Africa Business Round Table which held recently in Accra, Ghana.

Mr. Martey, while presenting the award to the Executive Secretary/CEO of the Council, Capt. Adamu Biu, praised the efforts of the Council in promoting and protecting, not only the interest of Nigerian Shippers but also shippers in the sub-region especially in the area of trade facilitation and in the nurturing of sound and positive trade policies that had earned it the coveted award of the best West Africa Maritime Agency of the year.

Receiving the award, Capt. Biu, assured shippers of the firm resolve of his Agency to reduce to its barest minimum, all manner of extraneous factors that are capable of hindering the smooth international trade transactions between Nigeria and her trading partners.

“Our guiding principle in the Council”, he stressed, “is to ensure that we render quality services to shippers by addressing promptly their complaints and enquiries which we believe would always place them at advantaged position in international trade transactions and invariably   impact positively on the nation’s economy”, he stressed.

It would be recalled that in a similar event, the Ghana Shippers’ Council was adjudged in 2008 as the best Agency in Trade Facilitation in the Region.
