Clearing agents suspend planned strike for one week

Clearing agents under the aegis of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA)have suspended their planned strike for one week.

The strike was meant to commence on Monday, April 25.

According to NAN, Rilwan Amuni, taskforce chairman of ANLCA, announced this in a circular.

The union had, on Friday, announced plans to embark on a strike over the recently introduced 15 per cent National Automobile Commission (NAC) levy on used imported vehicles.

The levy was recently introduced by the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), a decision which didn’t go down well with clearing agents in the country’s maritime sector.

The agents argued that the NAC levy is mostly meant for new vehicles, questioning the rationale behind the introduction of the duty on used vehicles.

In its latest circular, Amuni said that the “warning strike” had been put on hold due to upcoming long holidays to mark Workers’ Day and Sallah celebrations.

He said the association has postponed the planned strike action to next week after the holidays.
