Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, the newly appointed Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), has declared that his top priority is the swift rehabilitation of the nation’s deteriorating port infrastructure. In a statement made during an unscheduled visit to Tincan Island Port on Tuesday, Dantsoho emphasized the need for collaboration with port stakeholders to ensure efficient service delivery across Nigeria’s seaports. He pointed out that improving port infrastructure and fostering strong stakeholder relationships are crucial for boosting revenue through enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Dantsoho disclosed that President Bola Tinubu has tasked the NPA with the mission of delivering efficient port services and improving overall industry outcomes. He reassured stakeholders that the often-discussed construction of the Tincan Ports Complex will soon transition from talk to tangible action. Dantsoho’s leadership team is committed to expediting these improvements to achieve the desired results quickly.
According to Dantsoho, the competitiveness of Nigeria’s ports relies heavily on robust infrastructure. He underscored the NPA’s dedication to meeting this essential requirement promptly to better serve the country’s domestic cargo needs as well as those of neighboring landlocked nations.
