The Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) has invited all shipping lines and concerned stakeholders to a one day engagement session with the Executive Secretary, Dr. Pius Akutah scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
The notice for the meeting follows the Council’s directive issued on 20th March 2026, which ordered the immediate suspension of the implementation of new tariff by shipping lines and their agencies.
According to the Council, the engagement is in response to ongoing consultations and concerns raised by key stakeholders within the maritime and logistics sector.
“In the spirit of fairness, transparency, and industrial harmony, the Council seeks to provide a platform for dialogue aimed at achieving consensus among all parties.
“The Council still remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a cooperative environment that promotes sustainable growth, operational efficiency, and mutual trust across the sector, ” a statement issued by the Council on Sunday said.
The NSC urged all parties to comply with the directive and participate actively and constructively in the dialogue.
The engagement is scheduled to take place at the NSC training room by 11:00am.
