Mr. Pius Ukeyima Akutah (MON), the newly-appointed Executive Secretary/CEO of the Nigerian Shippers Council, has expressed satisfaction with the significant impact of Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited, the flagship subsidiary of SIFAX Group, on the nation’s maritime sector.

During his inaugural courtesy visit to the management of the terminal, Akutah commended Ports & Cargo for maintaining its status as the foremost indigenous terminal operator in the country. He praised the company for its exemplary operations and its pivotal role in shaping the growth of Nigeria’s blue economy.

“We are very pleased with the operations of the terminal over the years. You have positioned yourself as a terminal to reckon with. Your investments in the maritime sector have continued to shape the growth of the blue economy, and you have proven that you have the necessary expertise to run this terminal very well,” Akutah stated.

He further expressed the Nigerian Shippers Council’s commitment to collaboration and support for the continued growth of operators in the maritime sector. Akutah emphasized the upcoming measures that will be rolled out to support the growth of the sector and enhance automation.
