updates: Foreigners control 85% of Nigeria's ship chandling market, causing the country to lose $10 billion annually. Local ship chandlers are unable to compete with their foreign counterparts and many have turned to other jobs for survival. The continuous refusal of foreign ship operators to patronize local chandlers goes against the Local Content Act. The Nigerian government is urged to fully implement the act to encourage local participation in the maritime, oil, and gas sectors. Ship chandling business used to generate foreign exchange for the government, but now the money is being taken back to foreign countries. The National Council of Managing Director of Licensed Customs Agents calls for government intervention to support local ship chandlers and boost the capital base of the industry.

Version 0.11 (2024-04-07 08:19:36.568000)

updates: The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has revised the exchange rate for cargo clearance to N1,260.49 per dollar, reflecting the closing rate on the official foreign exchange rate window on Friday, April 5, 2024, of N1,255 per dollar. The new rate is a result of the continuous adjustments made by the CBN, which has changed the Customs FX rates 28 times in the past three months. The head of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, has expressed concern about the frequent changes in the exchange rate for duty collection and cargo clearance, as it affects trade in Nigeria. He noted that the CBN adjusted the FX rates for cargo clearance 28 times in the first quarter of 2024.
