Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, the Managing Director of the authority, identified the speedy rehabilitation of dilapidated port infrastructure across the nation as his topmost priority.
Dantsoho, who was speaking during an unscheduled visit to Tin Can Island Port (TCIP) on Monday, also vowed to collaborate with port stakeholders in a bid to deliver efficient services at the nation’s seaports.
He said that adequate port infrastructure and robust collaboration with stakeholders would enable the nation’s seaports to attain improved revenue generation through efficiency and productivity.
“I want to assure stakeholders that the much-talked-about construction of Tincan Ports Complex would move from rhetoric to action,” Dantsoho said.
The NPA said reiterated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu mandated the Authority to deliver efficient port services and improved industry outcomes, adding that his management team is poised to do that as quickly as possible.
“I want to assure stakeholders that the much-talked-about construction of Tincan Ports Complex would move from rhetoric to action,” Dantsoho said.
According to the new NPA boss, port competitiveness is dependent on sound infrastructure.
He noted that the NPA would deliver on that necessity as soon as possible to better service Nigeria’s domestic cargo needs and those of landlocked neighbouring nations.
