In a bid to promote export in Nigeria, the Chartered Institute of Export and Commodity Brokers of Nigeria (CIECOBON) has sought the cooperation of the Nigerian Shippers’Council (NSC).

The institute made this request when the President/Council Chairman, Dr. Ayobami Omotoso led other executives of the council to a curtesy visit on the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer and Management of Nigerian Shipper's Council, NSC, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Jime, at the council’s headquarters in Lagos recently.

Dr. Omotoso also called on NSC’s management to appeal to the Federal Government to establish an Export-specific Port to further encourage exports.

The CIECOBON President said lack of flat-bottomed vessels to transport cargos to Apapa rendered the use of Ikorodu Lighter Terminal once designated for export, a dead on arrival decision.

The president also disclosed that one of the shipping lines operating in the sub-region has been providing open roof-top vessels for Ghanaian exporters of produce. He pleaded with NSC to discuss the possibility of extending such a service to Nigerian exporters because the RIFA containers that should ordinarily be used are too expensive for many exporters.

In his response, the Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Hon Emmanuel Jime warmly welcomed the delegation and assured them that part of NSC’s mandate, being in alliance with that of CIECOBON, will result in a partnership that will benefit the nation’s economy. He commended the doggedness of CIECOBON in promoting export through advocacy and capacity building. He enjoined the body to keep forging ahead in its mission with patriotic zeal.

He also assured Dr. Omotoso and his delegation that NSC will discuss the request for open rooftop vessels.

According to a release signed by Raakiya Dhikru-Yagboyaju,

Head, Public Relations of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, Chartered Institute of Export and Commodity Brokers of Nigeria (CIECOBON ) came into existence in 2015 following National Assembly approval of the merger of the Institute of Export of Nigeria (IEON) and Commodity Brokers Association of Nigeria (CBAN).
