The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says it has begun the evacuation of overtime cargoes to help decongest the ports.
A cargo is classified as overtime if the importer does not clear it after 90 days — all overtime cargo are subject to seizure by customs.
The NPA said the activity is done to rid the ports of congestion and pave the way for efficient port operation.
Josephine Moltok, general manager of corporate and strategic communications at the NPA, spoke on the need to evacuate overtime cargoes in a statement in Lagos.
