The Nigerian Ports Authority has announced Nigeria has been admitted as a member of the International Port Community System Association.

The Managing Director of the NPA, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, disclosed this on Tuesday in Lagos while speaking at the National Single Window Stakeholder’s engagement.

He said that the country was admitted after fulfilling the necessary requirements.

Speaking on the importance of NSW, Dantsoho explained that in recognition of the importance of this noble objective, the NPA had, ahead of time, enlisted the technical guidance of the IMO for the deployment of the Port Community System, which is actually the precursor to the NSW.

Recently, upon our fulfilment of the necessary requirements, Nigeria was admitted as a member of the International Port Community System Association to join top-class ports in the region, like Tangier Med Port of Morocco, Ghana, Togo, Ivory Coast, and Benin Republic, amongst others,” Dantsoho said.

He stated that the purpose of the Port Community System is primarily for Nigeria to comply with the dictates of the International Maritime Organisation, Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic.
