A former Chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Kyari Bukar, lamented on Friday that inefficiencies and bureaucracies of the Nigeria Customs Service and other agencies like the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) are making Nigeria lose trade volumes to ports the neighbouring Benin Republic.
He noted that large volumes of international shipments now come into Nigeria through ports in the francophone West African nation because the traders and importers find the ports efficient and free of bottlenecks.
Bukar, the Managing Partner at Trans-Saharan Investment Corporation, stated these when he featured on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme on Channels Television on Friday.
