Nigerian Shippers Council, NSC, has paid a courtesy visit on  the Chairman of the Apapa Local Government, Hon. Idowu Adejumoke Senbanjo, to ensure more collaboration and efficiency in service delivery at the ports.


The Executive Secretary/CEO of NSC, Hon. Emmanuel Jime, during the courtesy visit commended the  Chairman, Apapa Local government for extending a jhands of fellowship to NSC since his assumption as the Executive Secretary/ CEO.


 “The NSC, in its mandate, has the responsibility of ensuring efficiency in the delivery of services at the ports. What that means in effect is that we have to partner and collaborate with all stakeholders to implement such efficiency, which I believe the Apapa Local Government also shares this vision. 


"We have developed various tools to ensure the delivery of such a mandate. One of those tools, in the wisdom of the Federal Government, was the establishment and delivery of a port document called: The Nigerian Port Process Manual, NPPM.


“The NPPM is a harmonisation of all the Standard Operating Processes, SOP, of all  stakeholders in the port industry in order to facilitate the conduct of seamless businesses in our ports. The Federal Government, in its wisdom, selected the NSC as the lead agency for the implementation of the NPPM.


“Again, the government went further to establish the Ports Standing Task Team, PSTT. Like the NPPM, the PSTT is populated by different agencies of government with the Shippers Council selected as the Lead Agency in its implementation. The PSTT is set up to enable the implementation of the NPPM.


“In the course of implementing the PSTT, we need to partner with all stakeholders in the Port City council, and there is no better partner than the Local Government itself.


“Apapa Local Government has been   collaborating and supporting the PSTT to implement its mandate seamlessly, we a like Oliver Twist, we want more collaborations. We want to say thank you and also ask for more partnerships


NSC boss confirmed that the NSC has started the evacuation of debris from Apapa and its environment.  " As indicated in the course of this courtesy visit, corporate social responsibility is an imperative for any corporate agency that works in any community, and as far as Apapa Local government is concerned, cleaning of this environment is key component on how we can deliver on health concerns of residents of this port city. And I can confirmed authoritatively that NSC in partnership with Apapa Local government is involved in this debris evacuation we' have spoken about.


Jime, responding to the issue of collection of illegal tolls from trucks and trailers he said "well the fact of the matter is that in totality our concerns is to ensure that there is easy access into the  ports and exit out of the port. That is the mandate of NSC to ensure  efficiency of service  delivery in the port.


In her opening remarks, the Chairman, Apapa Local Government , Hon. Idowu Adejumoke Senbanjo, commended  NSC and that Apapa local government will continue to collaborate in several areas to ensure easy access to the port. "We will continue to partner with NSC and relevant government agencies to ensure smooth access to Apapa. 


She further said that the  Federal Government agencies based in Apapa should  come out to do more CSR projects to make Apapa a more beautiful place.
