Nigerian anti-corruption project improves port calls
An anti-corruption project aiming for port calls without demands for in-kinds payments, harassment, or the threat of illicit delays has been completed with positive outcomes. Key to the success of this project was close cooperation between the private maritime sector and Nigerian authorities.
Nigeria is one of the most challenging countries to do business in with unlawful demands commonplace. For the shipping industry there are numerous steps in the vessel clearance process which lead to inefficient operations and increase the opportunity for illegitimate demands in ports.Posted On:28-Jul-2018
