A motion on the urgent need to install scanning machines in Nigerian ports was raised by Rep. Nichola Ossai and was seconded by Rep. Julius Pondi. Rep. Ossai, leading the debate, explained how the absence of scanning machines in the ports slows down the clearing of goods...
which leads to demurrage and unnecessary congestion of the ports. He said, if adopted, will not only help to aid doing business in Nigeria but also help in generating revenue to fund subsequent budgets. #HousePlenary
