The Chief Executive Officer of B5 Plus Limited, Mukesh Thakwani, has lamented on challenges facing companies as far as movement of goods to other neighboring countries is concerned.
According to Mr. Thakwani, some of the neighboring ECOWAS countries no longer accept the ECOWAS cards making exportation of goods to these countries a strenuous task.
Speaking in an interview, the multiple award-winning CEO, stated that talks are ongoing with the Trade Ministry and other bodies to enable smooth movement of goods to the neighboring countries.
“Exportation of goods to West African countries is very difficult because most do not accept the ECOWAS cards. Currently, we are in talks with the Trade Ministry to look into it for us to enable smooth transportation of goods to these countries including Ivory Coast. It’s very challenging,” he said.
