   To make Nigerian Seaports competitive, efficient, effective and up-to-date in global best practices, the Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala Usman has challenged the organisations’s Executive and Management teams to work harder.

  Speaking at a management retreat organized by Messrs Boston Consulting Group (BCG) from the United State of America (USA) on Wednesday, in Lagos, Usman explained that on assumption of duty, she took it upon herself “the challenges of pursuing reform measures aimed at instituting best practices that would ensure ease of doing business in our operating and administrative processes”.

 Usman added that she has implicit confidence in the caliber of workforce in NPA, noting that they are  “are highly educated, trained and exposed in a well-established organizational structure”.

According to Usman, “time has come for NPA to do things differently and in accordance with global accepted standard if we are serious about being globally competitive”.

A statement issued by General Manager (Public Affairs) explained that “The one day strategy management retreat had in attendance all Executive Directors, General Managers and a cross section of high level Managers of the Organization”.
