Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, has directed the
resumption of 24-hour operations at the Apapa
port and outrightly banned touting by officials or
unofficial persons at any port; be it air, land and
sea ports in Nigeria.
Mr. Osinbajo had on Thursday signed three
Executive Orders dealing with the business
environment, local content in public
procurement and timely budget submission. The
Orders take effect immediately.
The acting president said in the Order that, “the
Apapa Port shall resume 24-hour operations
within 30 days of the issuance of this Order and
there shall be no touting whatsoever by official or
unofficial persons at any port in Nigeria.’’
According to the directive on port operations, “on
duty staff shall be properly identified by uniform
and official cards while off duty staff shall stay
away from the ports except with the express
approval of the agency head. The FAAN Aviation
Security (AVSEC) and Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA)
Security shall enforce this order.’’
To address the menace of touting at the ports, the
Order expressly stipulates that “all non-official
staff shall be removed from the secured areas of
airports. No official of FAAN, Immigration,
security agency or Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MoFA) or any other agency is to meet any non-
designated dignitary at any secure areas of the
airport.”
The acting president also directed that the official
approved list of dignitaries that have been pre-
approved to be received by protocol officers shall
be made available to AVSEC and other relevant
agencies ahead of their arrival at the airport.
According to the Order, “any official caught
soliciting or receiving bribes from passengers or
other port users shall be subject to immediate
removal from post and disciplinary as well as
criminal proceedings in line with extant laws and
regulations.’’
“All relevant MDAs at the airports shall within 30
days of the issuance of this Order merge their
respective departure and arrival interfaces into a
single customer interface, without prejudice to
necessary backend procedures,’’ the acting
president directed.
On the harmonisation of activities of agencies
operating at the ports, Mr. Osinbajo ordered that
“all agencies currently physically present in
Nigerian Ports shall within 60 days harmonise
their operations into one single interface station
domiciled in one location in the port and
implemented by a single joint task force at all
times, without prejudice to necessary backend
procedures.’’
The new single interface station at each port, the
order stipulates, “shall capture, track and record
information on all goods arriving and departing
from Nigeria and remit captured information to
the head of the MDA and the head of the National
Bureau of Statistics on a weekly basis.’’
In addition, the acting president, through the
Executive Order, has directed each Port in Nigeria
“to assign an existing export terminal to be
dedicated to the exportation of agriculture
produce within 30 days of the issuance order .

Your hatred for Buhari/fulanis knows no bound. I'm sure if it is Buhari that enacted this same policy, you and your kinsmen would have criticise it vehemently. Free your mind from hate. As it will only destroy you psychologically and emotionally.

your blind support for Buhari seems to have an effect on your God-given ability to reason, your folks have not been able to see the difference between PMB stay here in Nigeria , the untold hardships that people suffer whenever he is around and the ease that Nigerians enjoy once he is away.

Lets not for a moment assume Osinbajo gave the order without the agreement of Buhari .
They both work together so no need for any argument

Just as your unrelentless hatred for Buhari has beclouded your sense of humour. Buhari ain't the cause of your probems.
