Nigerian Shippers Reject New Port Fees, Warn of Soaring Costs

The association alleges procedural flaws and lack of consultation, expressing concerns about increased costs affecting inflation and business uncertainty. Stakeholders demand transparency and suspension of the new charges for a tariff review.
Key figures involved include Alhaji Jamilu Goma, Gboyega Oyetola, and Ali Madugu.
