“With my experience as the Executive Director F&A and later Acting Managing Director, I will continue to work with all stakeholders to create an institution that is responsive to the expectations of the government, maritime industry, and the general public.
“As we move to complete the Lekki Port, we are open to investments to develop other strategic deep seaports in the country,” he said.
“I’m not unaware of the enormity of the task reposed on me. I will, therefore, carry it out with utmost diligence and put the national interest ahead and above anything else,” he said.
Mr Bello-Koko was first appointed Acting MD of the agency in May 2021 after Hadiza Usman was suspended.
He was in an Acting capacity for eight months before his confirmation on February 15th, 2022.
President Buhari approved Ms Usman’s suspension after the Transportation Minister accused her of “insubordination” and “refusal to take or carry out lawful instruction from superior officers/higher authorities”.
She has since been discharged from allegations of financial impropriety.
