The Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority , Hadiza Bala Usman, has described the nation’s harbours as critical to regional integration of trade, urging farmers to cultivate export-oriented produce to make the country an export nation rather than import dependent.
Usman, who was represented by Hassan Danjuma, a General Manager, noted that regional integration through trade cannot be achieved by independent of seaports, adding that NPA would pursue policies and programmes to enhance performance of seaports in the country. She also urged farmers to develop cultivation of export-based produce to tune the pendulum from import to export based economy.
She reiterated commitment to making the harbours more efficient and secure so as to contribute toward sustainable economic development, and called for collective efforts in making the ports a pride of the nation.
