The Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC) has commended the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for its intervention in facilitating the recovery of several abandoned power equipment cargoes at various seaports across the country.
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NDPHC, Jennifer Adighije, gave the commendation when the company’s management paid a courtesy visit to the NPA management at its headquarters in Lagos.
Speaking during the visit, Adighije said the engagement was aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership between both organisations and deepening collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
She expressed NDPHC’s appreciation to the NPA Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, and his management team for their support in facilitating the recovery of the company’s abandoned cargoes at different seaports.
According to her, the NPA’s intervention had prevented significant financial losses and saved NDPHC several billions of naira that could otherwise have been lost.
Adighije noted that efficient logistics and timely clearance of critical equipment remained important to the successful implementation of power infrastructure projects, stressing the need for sustained collaboration between agencies and organisations operating across the energy and maritime sectors.
She said NDPHC valued the support received from the NPA and looked forward to further strengthening the relationship in the interest of Nigeria’s power sector and the wider economy.
Responding, Dantsoho expressed delight at the visit and reaffirmed the NPA management’s commitment to supporting initiatives and partnerships that contribute to national development and improve the lives of Nigerians.
He congratulated NDPHC on its contributions to the development of Nigeria’s power sector, noting that the authority remained open to meaningful engagements with the company.
Dantsoho assured the delegation of the NPA’s continued support for initiatives that advance the interests of both organisations and contribute to the growth of the national economy.
He wished NDPHC continued success and stressed that his doors would remain open for productive discussions and partnerships.
The engagement underscores the importance of inter-agency collaboration in removing logistical bottlenecks that can delay critical infrastructure projects, particularly in the power sector where the timely delivery of equipment is essential to improving electricity supply across the country.
