The Federal Government has appointed five commercial banks to disburse the N278.5 billion Cabotage Vessel Financing Find, CVFF, 17 years after it commenced collection of the funds.

Union Bank, Zenith Bank, Polaris Bank, United Bank for Africa, UBA, and Jaiz Bank. They will serve as Primary Lending Institutions for the disbursement of the funds.

Disclosing this at the flag-off ceremony of Batch B of the 3rd phase of the Nigerian Seafarers Development Programme, NSDP, during the weekend, Minister of Transportation, Mauzu Sambo, said President Mohammadu Buhari has directed that the fund be disbursed immediately.

Recall that Nigerian shipowners’ deductions from all contracts within the Cabotage area started 17 years ago, with stakeholders calling for the disbursement to aid the nation’s shipping capacity.

The Minister has directed the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, to start the process leading to the disbursement immediately.

The breakdown of the amount shows that the Naira component amounts to N16 billion while the foreign currency is about $350 million.

Sambo stated: “The approval was forwarded to my office late Friday (December 9, 2022). However, I thought it wise to use this opportunity for this ceremony where some of the primary beneficiaries are in attendance.  

“On Monday, the DG NIMASA will get a formal communication from me conveying the approval from Mr President, and I expect him to take immediate steps. When I say immediate, I mean immediate.

“There is no question of one or two weeks; once he receives the communication, he knows what to do next.

“We have pledged to the president that they will continue to allow the funds to go into the Treasury Single Account, TSA; however, whenever the money hits the threshold of $ 50 million, the CBN, upon recommendation from NIMASA and the Federal Ministry of Transportation, would be expected to transfer the funds to the Primary Lending Institutions.”
