The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is to encourage the movement and evacuation of cargoes from the nation’s Seaports to the hinterland across the country.

This according to the Managing Director, Hadiza Bala Usman was in order to reduce the pressure on the Port Access Road and to serve as a solution to the perennial gridlock being experienced within the Ports Axis.

 Speaking through the Executive Director, Marine and Operations, Dr. Sokonte Davies at the first Quarter Forum of the Ports Consultative Council (PCC) held in Lagos, the Managing Director informed Stakeholders at the gathering that the NPA Management pay premium to the developments of Port infrastructure in order to engender efficient service delivery in the nation’s Seaports.
