Assures of NPA’s Committment to Resolving Issues

The Asst. Director, Port Administration, Fed. Ministry of Transportation, Ofie Sunday, the Asst. Comptroller General / Zonal Coordinator Zone “A”, Chinwe Ekekezie, the MD NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, the Chairman, PCC Otunba Kunle Folarin, the Deputy Chairman, PCC, Major Hemry Ajetunmobi (rtd.) at the PCC meeting

The Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala Usman has charged stakeholders in the Port industry to synergize towards achieving greater operational efficiency in port operations,  if the Federal Government  desire of making Nigerian Ports the leading Ports in Africa is to be met.

Addressing Maritime stakeholders at the quarterly meeting of the Port Consultative Council (PCC) held in Lagos,  Hadiza commended the PCC for its efforts. She disclosed that she and her team will continue to tackle critical issues affecting optimal operational capacity in areas that border on Maritime Safety and Security, Port Access Roads and Multimodal transportation of cargo in view of the rich potentials at our disposal.

Hadiza pointed out that “indeed analyzing the overriding objectives of the Federal Government, Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) depends largely on how swiftly we can correct the inherent deficits in our port infrastructure especially the Port Access Roads”,

According to the NPA helmsperson, NPA has embarked at critically ameliorating the challenges of doing business within the port environment. These include palliatives at ending the gridlocks at Apapa and its axis. Conversion of Lillypond Container Terminal into a holding bay for trucks. Innovation with the automation of the Call-Up System for trucks and other incentives given for the transfer of cargo through barges from Ikorodu, Epe and Ijegun amongst others.

She further solicited for improved synergy by all stakeholders towards making the best use of the opportunities the sub sector has in stock towards the growth and development of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The Chairman, Ports Consultative Council (PCC), Otunba Kunle Folarin appreciated and commended Hadiza Bala Usman, stressing that her vast accomplishments have indeed impacted  the industry.

Otunba Folarin explained that the council has been able to collaborate with stakeholders in the transport sector to bring required developmental progress to the industry calling for greater partnership.
