Mohammed Bello- Koko, stated that the management under his watch would leave no stone unturned at ensuring effective and cost efficient service delivery at the nation’s seaports.
According to Bello, “It is in line with this vision of the management in pursuing an aggressive automation of the ports and harbour systems, which is incorporated into a Port Community System being implemented in collaboration with the International Maritime Organisation IMO”, he stated.
The managing Director noted that automating the country’s port systems and operations was crucial in making the seaports globally competitive as well as ensuring customer satisfaction, adding that the Port Community System remains a game changer towards achieving this objective.
