“We are recording low activities in our terminal as a result of the unstable policy.
“We urge you to assist in conveying our message to the government,’’ Nazzari said.
He said the management of the terminal would continue to partner with Nigeria as the largest business economic avenue in West Africa.
“We are on the right path to prosperity but our concern is efficient access roads to the ports,’’ Nazzari said.
In his response, The Executive Secretary of the NSC, Mr Hassan Bello, said there was need for policy consistency so that investments in the country would flourish.
Bello said the government would come with massive plan by bringing more infrastructure to the terminal.
“NSC has taken steps to meet with the Customs Service, especially in the area of intercepting containers which had already been cleared from the port,’’ Bello said.
He said there were plans to introduce advanced cargo information system at the ports for monitoring cargo movements through computer networking.
The NSC chief said the council was ready to collaborate with shippers from Niger Republic to ensure that they import their vehicles through Nigerian ports.
