NPA to increase bilateral ties with foreign firms

Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiza Usman, says the organisation will increase bilateral ties with foreign firms, to derive mutual benefits.
She made the disclosure yesterday in a message to the 10th NIMPORT Annual Maritime Conference in Lagos.
Represented by Assistant General Manager, Commercials and Ports Promotion, Malam Abdulrahman Lamina, she said technology transfer and information sharing would assist in standardising products for international markets.
“Government’s efforts in achieving single window operations will enhance swift clearance of goods which will help to encourage the growth of businesses within the port industry,” she stated.
She said enhanced security profile at the ports would attract sustained investments in the sector and put the country in line with the dictates of International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulations.
The managing director said that government was working toward the deployment of top grade technologies and automation such as the Command, Control and Communication and Intelligence Unit (CCCI) and the Revenue Invoicing Management System (RIM) series.
Usman said they would ensure quick financial transactions and block revenue leakages at the ports.
