In a press statement signed by Ibrahim Nasiru, the General Manager, Corporate and strategic communications of the agency, Bello-Koko make this assertion while speaking during his courtesy and appreciation visit on the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday.
In a bid to promote security in the port corridors, Bello Koko solicited the support of LASG in providing adequate lighting of the Ports’ access roads.
Apart from road illumination, Bello Koko sought the urgent intervention of LASG in carrying out palliative works around Sunrise and Coconut road axis, as well to engage with Hi-Tech Construction on the need to fast track work on the road.
Hinting at the NPA’s preparedness for the take-off of the Lekki Deep Seaport in September, Bello-Koko requested Lagos State Government to fast track the construction of the Lekki Port access road as it constitutes a critical success factor for smooth take-off of the nation’s first Deep Seaport.
He also used the visit to formally present the new initiatives jointly churned out by the NPA/LASG team on the Joint Apapa Traffic Control, ahead of the signing of an MOU that seeks to address the menace of a multiplicity of checkpoints and attendant extortion.
In his response, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu who commended the new NPA Managing Director for the demonstrated capacity whilst in an acting capacity said Lagos is happy to be home to the two existing ports and is investing heavily in the construction of the Ports access road for the Lekki Port ahead of take-off towards the end of the year.
The Governor expressed delight at the prospect of the Lekki Port situated in the eastern part of Lagos and the upcoming Badagry Port situated in the western part in a strategic balance that will assure economic prosperity to all parts of the state which serves as the commercial nerve center of the national economy.
Speaking further, the Governor, commended the electronic call-up system (ETO) and assured the Managing Director of the unalloyed support of LASG in driving all efforts aimed at making the Ports more efficient.
