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

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

and more efficient for importers and has taken effect from December 1, 2013.

Report, which now takes only 6 hours, yes 6 hours, rather than 6 days as was
the case before....
