FG To Reduce Agencies Operating In Ports To Six by TheArticleNG(m): 9:24am On Feb 22, 2017 |
The Federal Government is currently
working towards streamlining the
number of agencies operating in the
nation’s ports to only six from about
eight.
This is part of the decisions reached at
an expanded meeting of the
Presidential Enabling Business
Environment Council presided over by
the Acting President, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja on Tuesday.
According to a statement by the
council’s secretariat, the meeting
approved a national action plan to be
implemented across its three priority
areas of entry and exit of goods; entry
and exit of people; and government
transparency and procurement over
the next 60 days to deliver tangible
changes for Small and Medium-scale
Enterprises in Nigeria.
The reforms, the statement added,
would also help improve Nigeria’s
ranking in the World Bank Doing
Business Index 2018.
The statement read in part, “The
reforms are to be implemented by the
Enabling Business Environment
Secretariat, which became operational
in October 2016 and has Dr. Jumoke
Oduwole, the Senior Special Assistant
to the President on Industry, Trade and
Investment as its coordinator.
“The Council was also briefed on the
forthcoming EBES stakeholders’
engagement forum scheduled for Kano
and Lagos on February 23 and 24,
respectively. The forums are part of
steps being taken to receive feedback
and ensure widespread adoption of the
PEBEC reforms.
“One of the reforms to be implemented
to ease the process of starting a
business is the upgrade of the CAC
online portal to ensure document
upload capabilities that will make it
possible for new businesses to be
registered online from start to finish
without having to visit the CAC office.
“Also, work is ongoing to streamline
the number of agencies operating at
the nation’s ports to just six. Council
also listened to updates on the
proposed Single Window Initiative at
the ports, which is expected to become
operational by Q4 2017.”
On the entry and exit of people, the
statement said the PEBEC observed
that the visa on arrival and 48-hour
visa processing procedures of the
Nigeria Immigration Service were
already operational with various levels
of compliance.
It said the council was also
collaborating with state governments
like Lagos and Kano to make the
processes for obtaining construction
permits and registering properties
faster, cheaper and easier.
It added, “In addition, PEBEC will work
with the National Assembly to pass
important bills like the National
Collateral Registry Bill and the Credit
Bureau Services Bill, which would ease
access to credit for SMEs.
“To show their commitment to PEBEC’s
reform agenda, the Senate President,
Bukola Saraki; and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara, attended Tuesday’s meeting.” 2 Likes |
