The Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mohammed Bello Koko has reiterated the authority’s commitment to supporting private sector investors to improve efficiency in the maritime logistics value chain.

He stated this when he led the Minister of Transportation, Muazu Jaji Sambo to the Ijora Container Terminal in Lagos.

According to a statement by NPA on Monday, the minister had toured the Tincan and Apapa Port complexes. Mr Koko said the “Ijora Container Terminal, which on over 40 acres of land along the Ebute-Metta Creek symbolises the kind of efficiencies the authority is always willing to create an enabling atmosphere for that’’.

The officials said it was established with the sole aim of providing cutting-edge inland container services and solutions leveraging the power of technology, innovations and a customer-centric approach to business.
