The Nigerian Shippers Council in collaboration with the Union of African Shippers Councils has concluded plans to hold the ninth edition of African Shippers’ Day in Lagos.

A statement by the Head, Public Relations Unit, NSC, Rakiya Dhikru-Yagboyaju, said that the programme, themed “African Continental Free Trade Agreement: A Veritable Platform for African Shippers to Mainstream into Global Trade,” will be declared open by the President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the statement, the African Shippers’ Day is primarily aimed at creating a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences amongst shippers’ organisations in the West and Central African sub-regions.

Members will discuss issues that will improve maritime trade, and disseminating information on the role of Shippers’ Councils and UASC.
