NPA cabinet shake-up raises bar on reforms

The reforms in the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) may have taken-off in grand style with the redeployment of 19 senior management staff including general managers.

This is coming as some principal managers were promoted to the position of Assistants general managers.

The Managing Director, NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, in her inaugural speech said: “As a team leader, I have come to add my best efforts to transform this agency so that we can collectively achieve results for our industry. We shall prioritise investment in primary equipment and infrastructure and services committed to by NPA in the concession agreements to hasten clearance of imports and exports from the ports. As we collaborate in the best traditions of public service, I believe that with commitment and diligence our hard work can position NPA as a model agency.”
