Falana urges Fashola to reduce LASU fees

A human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has urged Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State to reduce the fees of the Lagos State University students.
Falana, in a statement on Sunday, commended Fashola for directing the reopening of the university without imposing reparation fees on the students for the repairs of facilities damaged during the crisis which led to the closure of the institution.
The university was shut following the January 23, 2014 students’ protest against hike in fees.
The governor had directed that the university be reopened on Monday (today).
But Falana insisted that the “skyrocketing tuition” imposed on the students could not be justified given the poor economic conditions of many of the students’ parents.

NIGERIAN CUSTOMS: Importation made easy


The Federal Ministry of Finance has recently released the New Import Guidelines, Procedures and Documentation Requirements, which now gives the Nigeria Customs Service the sole responsibility of Destination Inspection, which is inspecting goods at the port of entry into Nigeria. 

The implication of this new process is designed to be easier and more efficient for importers and has taken effect from December 1, 2013. With this new process in place, importers or their agents will be able to start clearing their goods before they even arrive in Nigeria. What makes this process quick is the completion of the (PAAR), the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report, which now takes only 6 hours, yes 6 hours, rather than 6 days as was the case before. And why is PAAR so easy to complete? Because the Nigeria Customs Service has simplified its processes, simple enough for just about anybody to get on board. 


So for more information on completing PAAR, click on this link - Customs.gov.ng/Guidelines
Or call the 24-hour Nigeria Customs Service Help Desk on; 09 – 4621597, 4621598, 4621599 Or send an email topaarhelpdesk@customs.gov.ng
