shipping community is also in dire financial straits as the rising operating cost is taking a serious toll on their businesses.
According to him, the inconsistency of policies on the part of the federal government is largely to blame for the parlous state of the economy. On plans to open up further discussion with truckers and the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents , he said, it is the only way to resolve the impasse.
He also hinted of plans by the Association to put up a policy brief that would encapsulate a new order that should drive change and transformation within the shipping industry. While noting that shippers are exporters, importers, manufacturers and owners of cargoes being exported or imported into the country, Ezeasor, who is also a Director at Cutix Plc, a cable manufacturing company, lamented that manufacturers’ warehouses were filled as Nigerians could not afford to buy their products.
Also speaking on the occasion, former Chairman of Shippers Association Lagos State , Rev. Jonathan Nicol, said it was rather scandalous that the concerted efforts made by the immediate past administration to ameliorate the sufferings of shippers has been completely eroded.
