Speaking further, Akutah said the federal government is committed to making Nigeria an investment hub for investors in the country, pointing out that the issue of rail connectivity will help to reduce the cost of haulage transportation.

He said the essence of the visit was to have an on-the spot assessment of the facilities of the terminal operators.

According to him, NSC as Port Economic Regulator is  working with Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) on port automation in order to reduce human contacts and to make clearance of cargo procedures and processes seamless.
