Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Ports Consultative Council, NPCC, has inaugurated a Board of Trustees, BoT, to boost efficiency in Nigerian ports.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Ports Consultative Council, NPCCL, Bolaji Sunmola, made this known during the council\u2019s quarterly meeting and the BoT inauguration, held on Thursday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Board would strengthen partnership between government and the private sector through experience, wisdom, and strategic oversight.<\/p>\n

He described NPCC as a bridge among port users and operators, offering solutions to various industry challenges, not as a standalone council.<\/p>\n

The Chairman stressed the council\u2019s mandate: advocacy, advisory, arbitration, and consulting as guiding principles of operation.<\/p>\n

Sunmola added that to boost port efficiency, NPCC is forging a strategic partnership with the London Ports Consultative Council.<\/p>\n

He also disclosed that an NPCC delegation would visit London to exchange ideas on reforming Nigeria\u2019s maritime sector.<\/p>\n

The NPCC boss described the event\u2019s theme, \u2018Digital Information and Data Management for Sustainable Marine and Blue Economy,\u2019 as timely and highly relevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian seaports are the lifeblood of our economy. Delays, inefficiencies, and regulatory misalignment hurt productivity, revenue, and investor confidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoint solutions can transform Nigeria into a regional maritime powerhouse. Collaboration across sectors is key to progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat can we build now that ensures global competitiveness for Nigerian ports in the next five years?\u201d Sunmola asked.<\/p>\n

He said he was confident that with stakeholder support and the new BoT, NPCC would receive improved financial backing to drive its goals.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the new BoT includes Mr Hassan Bello, Mrs Chinwe Ezenwa, Alh. Muhammed Bambado, Alh. Abayomi Adigun, Mallam Bello Gwandu, and Anishere.<\/p>\n
