Determined to sustainably improve efficiency in port operations and service delivery, the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) is set to inaugurate the Ports and Customs Efficiency Committee (PCEC) on Thursday.

The inauguration which is slated to hold at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) headquarters in Lagos will be chaired by the Vice-President Senator Kashim Shettima GCON.

This comprises of over 50 heads of government agencies and private sector captains of industries cutting across the entire gamut of value chains that contribute significantly to Nigeria’s economic growth.

Advocacy Times reports that the PCEC is a multi-stakeholder (public/private sector) initiative aimed at infusing greater efficiency and improved service delivery within Nigeria’s ports and customs sector. Its overarching objective is to identify gaps and implement solutions to enhance the ease of doing business by reducing inefficiencies that impede trade facilitation and slow the pace of national economic prosperity.
