Nigeria’s Transport Minister Meets Banks Over Quick Disbursement Of Cabotage Vessel Finance Fund

For quick disbursement of the Cabotage Vessel Finance Fund, CVFF, the Minister has met with the managing directors of Polaris Bank, UBA, Union Bank, Zenith Bank and Jaiz Bank.

Also in the meeting were the Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, Managing Director of Shipping NNPC and other shipping stakeholders.

The Minister told the banks that President Buhari had approved the immediate disbursement of the Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund (CVFF) through them as primary lending institutions.

According to him, “The President also approved that the 2% charge that makes up the Cabotage Fund should continue to accrue to the CBN Treasury Single Account(TSA) and each time the account hits $50m, the Minister of Transportation should, on the recommendation of NIMASA, direct the CBN to release the amount to any of the five banks for disbursement”.

The Minister noted that it has taken seventeen years to get presidential approval for the disbursement and charged the key stakeholders to expedite action on the necessary details to facilitate the quick disbursement of the funds.

“We have received the approval of the President to disburse the funds. It is now left for the key players to actualise the approval by the President”, he said.

Sambo said the maritime sector would be a major income earner for the country if properly managed, adding that it was fulfilling for him to lead the historic process of disbursing the Cabotage Funds.

Section 44 part VIII of the Cabotage Act 2003 provides for the establishment of the Cabotage Vessel Financing Fund (CVFF) and a 2% deduction on cabotage-protected trade earnings goes into the savings for the development of indigenous tonnage (ships) in Nigeria.

The bankers and other critical stakeholders had hours of closed-door deliberation after the minister’s remark, to chart out a clear course for the final disbursements in the coming days.
