NPA Boosts Consolidated Revenue Account With N151b

Between 2017 and 2020, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), contributed not less than N151billion to the Consolidated Revenue Account (CRA).

 Speaking at an interactive session with Newspaper Editors, Managing Director of NPA, Hadiza Bala-Usman explained that NPA contributed N42 billion in 2017, N33 billion in 2018, N31 billion in 2019 and N45 billion in 2020 .

Bala-Usman said:“Our cargo for 2019 was 80 million metric tons in the whole country. In 2020 we recorded 78 million metric tons, so we can see the difference in how much we were able to attract into the country within that period and the differential.
“For container traffic, 1.84 million TEUs in 2019 and 1.86 million in 2020, called vessels was 4,251 in 2019 and 3,972 in 2020. Gross registered for the vessels was 29.4 million in 2019 and 24.6 million in 2020. “There is a marginal drop because of the pandemic and we even thought it would be less but it is not materially different.”
The Tin Can Island and Port, she said, had the highest number of called vessels –1,197 vessels while Apapa port recorded 986 vessels within that period.

The NPA, Bala-Usman added, recorded total revenue of N305.3 billion in 2019 and N360 billion last year.
“This contribution to CRF is in line with the fiscal responsibility act which requires for government agencies to make remittance surplus to the government coffers. 

“Ensuring strict compliance to that is what we have sworn to do so that we are meeting the full compliance to the Fiscal Responsibility Act. So this is the general overview of what we have been doing and our area of focus,” she added.
She said one of the key issues that have been bedeviling the NPA’s operations within the Lagos area has been the traffic congestion in Apapa and Tin Can Island.

“That is a monster that we have been grasping with, it’s a bit challenge. I have always had a particular perception of how to resolve it, there are different layers of intervention that kept coming on but for me I had a particular thing I thought was the right thing. It took a while for people to sort of come to terms with it but I will just give a quick overview about what it is – it is an electronic app – it is e-toll, some of you might have heard the jingle on the radio. 

“It is an e-call up system which seeks to remove the human intervention in the process of calling up trucks and an integral part of it is the provision of Approved Truck Park, meaning that all trucks coming into the port will go and park in a designated Truck Park and then use an electronic call up to be called upon to the port when the cargo is ready to be picked up, “she said.
She said trucks going into the port you must be parked in a Truck Park, stressing that trucks must be called upon using the e-column going forward. 

“So for me sanitising the port corridors is to have a designated parking space, if you don’t tell people where to park, they park anywhere. So the onus is on you to provide them with where to park.
“We have had this debate over the past two/three years with the Presidential Taskforce, the vice president.
“You must define your parking and you now need to call people up electronically, remove that control from the taskforce and make it electronic, and then make it transparent and make it also first come, first serve. 

“We have deployed, we have done the advert, we have seven Truck Parks that are available for use, and we are doing this in conjunction with Lagos State Government. We will be kicking this off on 27thmeaning that you cannot go into the port if you are not parked in these Truck Parks. 

“We are going to get a lot of push backs, we have seen push backs already, there are various taskforce that are being re-introduced, we are focus on implementing the e-call ups.
“If you are found on the round around the port environ, your truck will be impounded – we are working with the Road Safety, LASTMA and the Police command on that. We will have a few months of hitches but I believe this will really be the solution to our congestion, “she said. 

Bala-Usman added: “There is also another things that has been a critical issue for consignees, is that when you get your cargo from the port with the container, you are required to return your empty container to the port, so your inability to drop the container you lose a deposit.
“So shipping companies have been milking Nigerians for that. So you collect your cargo and then you want to return the empty container to the port but you are not able to get access to the port.”
