The
Federal Government has directed all relevant ministries, departments and
agencies operating at the nation’s airports and seaports to harmonise their
operations into a single interface station.
While
those at the airports have 30 days to merge, those operating at seaports must
do so within 60 days.
This is
one of the highlights of an ‘Executive Order on the Promotion of Transparency
and Efficiency in the Business Environment’ signed by the Acting President,
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
By the
order, the Apapa Port is expected to resume 24-hour operations within 30 days.
Any
official caught soliciting or receiving bribes from passengers or other port
users, according to the order, shall be subject to immediate removal from post
and disciplinary as well as criminal proceedings in line with extant laws and
regulations shall be meted on such persons.
