In a move that demonstrates its commitment to engaging its customers on how best to provide sound and efficient clearing procedure, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Apapa premier ports command, last Wednesday organised a programme tagged \u201cstakeholder\u2019s forum.<\/p>\n
The forum was aimed at getting feedback and input from stakeholders on how best the command can improve on its service delivery.<\/p>\n
During the one day event, which took place at the command conference hall, Apapa, stakeholders were treated to presentations, which highlighted the command\u2019s transformational initiatives over the last four weeks.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the forum, the command\u00a0 Area Controller, Comptroller Umar M.D said the\u00a0 command recognises the need to interact\u00a0 with its stakeholders irrespective of their economic class , location or vocation, assuring that the new management\u00a0 is\u00a0 composed of young, experienced and\u00a0 dynamic\u00a0 professionals, who had brought fresh ideas with the intent of lifting the maritime sector to a greater height.<\/p>\n
He added that it is on record that the last stakeholder\u2019s forum was held on 17th August, 2011 where important issues and decisions were discussed.<\/p>\n
However, it has become pertinent that we reconvene once more to brain storm over issues that concern our industries as regular consultations form part of the comptroller \u2013General\u2019s visionary six point agenda\u201d, he\u00a0 said.<\/p>\n
In his words, \u201c it is through fora like\u00a0 this that we can get feedbacks\u00a0 from other stakeholders, review\u00a0 procedures where necessary, highlight challenges and proffer solution to them. This command under my watch does not claim any monopoly of knowledge, and will encourage healthy, progressive dialogue that will impact positively on achieving our collective goals\u201d.<\/p>\n
Umar, added that the management would be receptive to all constructive suggestions to better the operational capacity of the ports as it affects the clearance procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
