The Nigerian Ports Authority NPA has been working steadily to digitalise operations at all port locations in the country, towards optimal efficiency, elimination of corrupt practices and service excellence.
The Acting Managing Director of the NPA, Mohammed Bello-Koko, said this in a statement signed by General Manager Corporate and Strategic Communications, NPA Olaseni Alakija, in Lagos.
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, Jean Marie Koffi.
Bello-Koko informed the Ports Management Association of West and Central Africa, 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 noted that this approach had enabled the country’s port system to continue to record increase in cargo throughput every year, despite most of the seaports operating far above their designed capacities.
