The newly appointed Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, has identified the speedy rehabilitation of dilapidated port infrastructure across the nation’s seaports as his topmost priority.
Dantsoho, who was speaking during an unscheduled visit to Tin Can Island Port (TCIP) and Lagos Ports Complex LPC , also vowed to collaborate with port stakeholders in a bid to deliver efficient services at the nation’s seaports.
According to the NPA helmsman, adequate port infrastructure and robust collaboration with stakeholders will enable the nation’s seaports attain improved revenue generation through efficiency and productivity.
Speaking to the press during the visit Dantsoho 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.
