NPA MD Tasks Staff On Commitment To Port Efficiency

The managing director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, has tasked his team with renewing its commitment to continuously improving port efficiencies.

During the recently concluded NPA Management Retreat, “Repositioning the Nigerian Ports System for Sustainability,” Dr Dantsoho said the focus was on reviewing and optimising operational processes to enhance service delivery.

According to him, staff members must be committed to a continuous improvement paradigm of Port operations.

“We are proud of the excellent work being undertaken by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council as evident in the increased export numbers passing through our platforms, but we cannot rest on our laurels; we must commit to a continuous improvement paradigm of Port operations and service delivery that places a high premium on issues of sustainability.”

“Minimising environmental impact through eco-friendliness, promoting social responsibility, and ensuring long-term economic viability are the drivers of global progress, and we cannot afford to be left behind. We owe posterity a duty to infuse sustainability paradigms into our actions.”

At the retreat, the NPA Management Team undertook a Business Process Re-engineering to identify and address bottlenecks and inefficiencies, ensuring a more customer-centric approach.

Additionally, the NPA signed a Performance Bond, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and achieving the priorities of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as directed by the Minister of Marine & Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola.

This strategic initiative underscores NPA’s dedication to improving efficiency, customer satisfaction, and long-term sustainability in Nigeria’s port system.
