(PTML) and Tincan enroute all other terminals in Tincan and Apapa,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The circular, however, expressed optimism that the authorities concerned would reverse the \u201cIllegal 15 per cent NAC and also review the benchmarks on PAAR\u201d within the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It said that all members should be ready to down tools and ensure total shut down at the ports after the warning strike, if the policy was not reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease note that April 25 and 26 is just a \u2018warning strike\u2019, agents are allowed to do their jobs and tidy up against Wednesday in lieu of whether their will be a reverse or not,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-42060\" data-postid=\"42060\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-42060 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) says they will embark on a one-day warning strike on April 25, over the introduction of 15 per cent National Automotive Council (NAC) levy.
