Decongest Ports in 60 Days, Yar'Adua Orders 7 January 2009


Worried by the perennial congestion that has almost paralysed business activities in the Lagos ports, President Umar Musa Yar'Adua has directed principal stakeholders to immediately look for a way to decongest the nation's seaport within 60 days.

The Minister of Transport, Ibrahim Bio had on December 24, 2008, issued a two-week ultimatum to the stakeholders to decongest the ports, but the challenge did not yield result.

However, Bio disclosed the President's directive on Tuesday in Lagos, during a stakeholders meeting with key operators in the maritime sector of the economy in the country.

The Minister said that the President wanted the decongestion exercise carried out without further delay.

Addressing the stakeholders, which included terminal operators, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Nigeria Port Authority (NPA), Freight Forwarders, NIMASA and service providers, the Minister recalled that 48 hours after he assumed office, he received series of complains about congestion in the nation's seaports.

Underscoring the seriousness of the issue of congestion, Bio said besides oil, the maritime industry is the major revenue earner for the country and as such, the congestion issue should not be treated with kid's glove.

According to the Minister, sanity in the nation's seaports will play a vital role in the seven point agenda of President Yar'Adua.

In his remark at the forum, the Minister of Finance, Mansur Muktar said; "we have serious situation at our hands which might affect the nation's economy negatively, especially at this period of global economic recession."

He noted that the essence of the stakeholders' meeting was to look into the immediate and remote causes of the congestion and to find a lasting solution to it.

Earlier, the Managing Director of the NPA, Abdul Salam Mohammed said congestion at the port is a major national challenge facing the nation's economy.

He pointed out that himself and Hamman Bello Ahmed, Comptroller General of Customs, had been summoned by the Ministers of Finance and Transport to find and establish the cause of the congestion.


According to him, the interactive session at the stakeholders meeting will enable them to find a lasting solution to the congestion.

"Let us work together as partners, to see to the growth of the nation's seaports, and let us be guided by sincere desire for change," Mohammed said.

The NPA boss also urged the participants to work hard by finding medium and short term solutions to the problem of congestion at the ports.
