The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and cargo agents operating at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMIA) have reached an agreement of \u20a615 per kilogramme (kg) as cargo charges.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

\u200eThe authority announced the agreement in a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Henry Agbebire on Tuesday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u200e\u200eThe agreement was finalised during a crucial stakeholders\u2019 meeting, presided over by the Director of Cargo Development and Services, Mr Lekan Thomas on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u200eAccording to the statement, following extensive and constructive discussions, both parties have settled on a new airport charge of \u20a615 per kg of cargo.<\/p>\n

\u200eThis, FAAN said represents a significant compromise, from the initially proposed \u20a620 per kg and the existing \u20a67 per kg charge.<\/p>\n

\u200eFAAN expressed optimism that this resolution, achieved through dialogue and a spirit of partnership, would foster a more collaborative and responsible approach to cargo operations at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u200eThe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the agents had earlier protested the increased tariff by the authority and grounded cargo activities at the airport.<\/p>\n

\u200eNAN also reports that the agents had decried the approach of FAAN by increasing the charges without proper stakeholders engagememt and called for dialogue to reach a compromise.<\/p>\n

The associations that appealed for a dialogue included the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANCLA) and the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF).<\/p>\n

Others are the Africa Association of Professional Freight Forwards and Logistics of Nigeria (APFFLON) and the National Association of Freight Forwarders and Consolidators (NAFFAC). (NAN) www.nannews.ng\u200e<\/p>\n
