Shippers’ Council to host NIMPORT meeting

Published by

The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has said it is gearing up to host this year’s second Nigeria International Maritime Ports and Terminals Conference and Expo (NIMPORT) stakeholders’ committee meeting.

The meeting which is scheduled to hold on May 26, 2017 at the Shippers’ Plaza, Apapa, will give partners and exhibitors the opportunity to help assess their preparedness on content and quality.

The Executive Secretary of the NSC, Mr Hassan Bello, who stated this in Lagos, said that the session of the committee meeting will unveil industry position to stakeholders on investment attraction and shipping promotion.

Meanwhile, as Nigeria looks forward to hosting her counterparts from other countries around the world in this year’s edition of NIMPORT, Chairman of NIMPORT 2017 edition, Fortune Idu, said that the challenges of inadequate infrastructure to cater for the increasing volume of cargo movement in Africa is still a major hindrance.

With the theme ‘Improving Connectivity, Enhancing Trade,’ Idu said the forum will engage sector leaders and global investors to work towards achieving a common goal of ports to industry connectivity by opening further the transportation system and their associated corridors for more investment.
