The Public Accounts Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives has conferred an award on the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for its commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility and audit compliance.
The special recognition was conferred during the National Conference on Public Accounts and Fiscal Governance held in Abuja, a high-level forum that convened lawmakers, anti-graft agencies, civil society groups, and public finance experts to explore strategies for strengthening Nigeria’s fiscal architecture.
In their remarks, the leadership of the two committees commended the NPA for maintaining high standards of financial reporting and for demonstrating consistent support for public accountability processes.
They described the award as a symbol of institutional integrity, noting that the NPA stood out for its proactive audit compliance and strategic backing of the conference.
“The Authority’s contributions were pivotal in making this policy dialogue a reality,” the committees noted, adding that the NPA’s transparency efforts have become a benchmark in the public sector.
The Managing Director of the NPA, Dr Abubakar Dantosho, received the award on behalf of the agency, affirming its commitment to deepening reforms and entrenching openness in its operations.
He was represented by the Executive Director Finanace and Adminstration, Vivian Richard Edet, who received the award on behalf of the Authority.
