Vicky Hastrup, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, CEO, ENL consortium, in this interview with Oluyinka Onigbinde speaks on the challenges in the nation’s ports system and proffers possible solutions.

Excerpts.

Going forward, what do you think should be done for the maritime industry to move forward?

For the maritime industry to move forward, the Federal government needs to quickly pass the Port and Harbor Bills.

The passage of the Port and Harbor Bills has been delayed for too long. It’s been twelve years since the terminal operators have been operating in various ports in Nigeria and yet these bills are still waiting to be passed.

I don’t know at what state it is now but I think it is getting rather too late. I believe before the end of the term of this government, it would be nice if passage of the bill is concluded and is passed and assented to by the President.

Besides the passage of the bill which has to do with the legislature, what are the other bottlenecks?

The government is talking about Ease of doing Business. There can’t be ease if government does not make a decisive move.
