Managing Director, NPA, Abubakar Dantsoho
As part of fresh drive to provide the operational collaboration necessary to grow exports, Managing Director/CEO of Nigeria ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho received the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG), Dr. Dr. Philip Mshelbila on Monday 20th January 2025 at NPA Headquarters in Marina, Lagos.
Dr. Mshelbila expressed Nigeria LNG’s appreciation for the NPA’s continued support and solicited increased synergy as NLNG Limited is expanding its LNG production capacity to take advantage of increased global demand.
Dr. Dantsoho in his response said that “imbued by the mandate of the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Alh. Gboyega Oyetola for the NPA to support the increased export orientation of the Federal Government, we assure you of our unwavering support. Nigeria LNG (NLNG) has played a key role in Nigeria’s economic development and export growth since its inception. We will grow this partnership.”
It will be recalled that Nigeria’s attainment of a trade surplus of 5.81 trillion naira (or 3.7 Billion USD) in the third quarter of 2024 as reported by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) foreign trade alert was through exports predominantly consummated on the platforms of the Nigerian Ports Authority.
