 The House of Representatives says it is committed to reforming port operations to make it competitive, efficient and business-friendly. The Chairman, House Committee on Customs and Exercise Honourable Leke Abedjide said these are an organised interactive session with relevant agencies under the Committee in Abuja. For example, it has nothing to do with going to another bonded terminal before going to either ICD-CANU or Dry Port Cardinal. In fact, the long process is responsible for the congestion at the port because containers that ought to have been evacuated will not leave Y-versus upon-versus we keep on coming to populate already congested terminals. And we cannot blame them but blame our bureaucratic procedures. Sometimes there will be a change in policy by customs. What we see is just somebody telling us when we get to some office that we want to do this you know, we have a new circular telling us that we should go and do this or do that. Whereas when that should be taken, they didn't put the stakeholder to have their inputs. So sometimes before we adjust it takes time and it's cause delay.

Once we have that platform in place and all stakeholders can plug into each other. Believe me, your interactive session today would have had an important input into how do we solve some of the cumbersome processes that we have involved. So I thought I should just notify the committee that there is a process ongoing. But at the moment it's very slow. There's a snail's beat that is being brought to bear only that who really don't know why this is the case. So I think that maybe this is one important information that can be brought to bear on the course of this interactive session. It will help us fundamentally. We are always the mentors. It comes from the government of implementations. According to two of them, the implementation and implementation. That's what every Monday that you have to come from is adding numerous activities. So I don't know if the MBE will know what MBE will do. Can you say it? Come again? Yes. I said the issue of the second approach is just...
