The Aviacargo Roadmap committee advocates for certifying farms, cargo agents, handling companies, and freight forwarders through a Cargo Bill of Rights.
During the briefing with MD FAAN, Mr. Kabir Yusuf, the committee delineated 10 crucial areas for efficiently handling goods at Nigerian Airports.
Coordinator, Mr. Ikech Uko, emphasizes the need for an Aviacargo Village to transform unknown goods into secure, traceable exports, aligning with global standards.
Uko mentions the Committee’s 5-stage project plan, revealing only two remaining steps for completion, involving collation and report writing by subject matter experts.
MD CEO of FAAN, in response, assures the Aviacargo Roadmap committee of promptly implementing observations and recommendations.
Yusuf, outlining steps to address delays and multiple charges, focuses on establishing a secure supply chain to enhance Aviacargo quality from farms to export.
He pledges support for developing new Standard Operating Procedures and implementing Service Level Agreements to overhaul Cargo Operations in Nigeria.
Yusuf argues that implementing the Cargo Bill of Rights, new SOPs, and SLAs will transform airports into corruption-free zones, enhancing export integrity and reducing goods rejection.
