The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) of Nigeria has issued a compliance certificate to the Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC) for the Outline Business Case (OBC) of the Obolo-Afor Truck Transit Park PPP project, which involves the development of a state-of-the-art modern truck park facility in Enugu state.

With the compliance certificate issued, the NSC is able to begin the procurement process, expected within the next two months.
