NPA commits to digital revolution of African ports

The Nigerian Ports Authority has put work in motion to digitalise operations at all port locations in the country, to eliminate corrupt practices and enable excellent service delivery.

The Acting Managing Director of the NPA, Mr Mohammed Bello-Koko, saidn this in a statement issued by Mr Olaseni Alakija, NPA General Manager Corporate and Strategic Communications, in Lagos on Thursday.

Bello-Koko stated this when he received a delegation of the Ports Management Association of West and Central Africa, led by the Association’s Secretary General, Mr Jean Marie Koffi.

Bello-Koko informed the PMAWCA delegation that the authority had,over the years, championed the transition from manual to digital, automated and smart business processes.

He added that it was by working in collaboration with sister government agencies and providers of terminal and shipping services in the country.

He said, “PMAWCA has been a worthy partner at boosting regional trade and, most importantly, encouraging the spirit of unity and brotherhood among Ports within the sub region and Africa in general”.

“The authority is ready to work with PMAWCA to achieve closer regional integration and increased participation of ports in the region in the global economy.

“As a port authority, we have been implementing a port community system to improve collaboration and information sharing among all parties in the supply value chain.”
