The Port Manager commended the conduct of the Security Officers and men in the Port. He also extolled the leadership of the agencies for their skills, competency and efforts, which he noted had ensured that the Port is safe for operations and business.
Alhassan, while enumerating some aspects of the Presidential Order on the Ease of Doing Business as it concerns the various agencies, reiterated that the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the respective agencies all have a stake to ensure the objectives of the directives are realised.
He therefore appreciated the visitors for the courtesy call and expressed the hope that the visit would cement the existing cordial relationship between the Port and their agencies as well as establish workable synergy for better performance between them.
Both the new GOC and the new Comptroller of Immigration while assuring the readiness of their commands to support all activities of port commended the existing relationship between the Authority and their Organisations.
