The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has reached an agreement with Customs Licensed Cargo Agents operating at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, on the proposed review of cargo port charges.
The Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection Department of the Authority, Henry Agbebire, stated that the agreement was achieved at a stakeholders’ meeting held on Monday at the MMIA Terminal 2 Conference Room.
He confirmed that after constructive deliberations during the meeting chaired by the Director of Cargo Development and Services (FAAN), Mr. Lekan Thomas, the parties agreed on a revised port charge of N15.00 per kilogram, representing a compromise from the earlier proposed N20.00/kg and an upward review of the existing N7.00/kg.
According to him, the outcome reflects the spirit of dialogue, partnership, and shared responsibility.
