Lekki Port: Nigeria Regains N137bn Lost Transit Cargoes Business

Confirming the return of landlocked countries transit cargoes to Nigeria, the managing director, Nigerian Ports Authority , Mohammed Bello-Koko, said the landlocked countries are intending to use the Lekki Deep Sea Port to move in their cargos via the Dala Inland port in Kano from where such cargos will move to their various countries.

“While sitting here, we already have a certain neighbouring African country that want to move its cargoes from Lagos ports to Dala port in Kano from which they will move the consignment to their country because they see the possibility of a smooth operation and efficiency.” Speaking on the seaport, the NPA boss said, “Three, four years ago when we came here, it was just a sand filled area. Construction started about two years ago and today we have commissioned an automated port. We thank the Ministry of Transportation for their support.” He continued, “Lekki Deep Seaport for us is the beginning, Nigerian Ports Authority will be the regulator who will also be responsible for marine services.

According to him, the quality and efficacy of services to be rendered at the port must not only be efficient but cheap.
