Oyetola speaking through his representative, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Michael Oloruntola, he highlighted the ministry’s focus on embracing emerging technologies, fostering innovation, and implementing digitalization and automation of port operations to improve safety, security, efficiency, and performance optimization.

The government’s efforts to align policies with global best practices have led to enhanced safety, security, and efficiency in ports, resulting in reduced delays in processing exports and imports.

Additionally, the Nigerian Ports Authority is nearing completion of the deployment of the Port Community System, which will pave the way for the implementation of the National Single Window Project.

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Marine Transport, Wasiu Sanni emphasized the importance of national responses to safety imperatives and urged compliance with international safety conventions to position Nigeria as a leading player in the global maritime community.
