The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has directed all terminal operators operating at the Lagos ports to extend the suspension of all applicable terminal storage fees otherwise known as demurrage on consignments for another fourteen days effective April 13, 2020.

The General Manager Corporate and Strategic Communications NPA, Engr. Jatto Adams who disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Friday said that this follows the extension of the lockdown in response to the COVID-19 outbreak by President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday, April 12, 2020.

Adams also said that the gesture was in recognition of the pressure that the COVID-19 pandemic imposed on businesses, the responsibility imposed on the Authority to relief this burden on its customers as well as attaining the objective of the federal government’s Ease of Doing Business policy at this trying period.

He pointed out that “The Authority states that compensation to terminal operators will be as spelt out in its April 8, 2020 letter to the terminal operators.”

The General Manager however noted that the Authority would not tolerate any form of non-compliance with directive and not hesitate to apply the appropriate sanctions.

“The NPA thanks all stakeholders for their cooperation”, he concluded.

It will be recalled that NPA had on 27th March, 2020 issued a press statement directing the terminal operators to suspend the collection of  all applicable terminal storage fees for an initial period of 14 days with effect from 23rd of March, 2020 to cushion the effect of the Covid-19 lockdown on its customers.
