The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), and the Port of Miami, United States, have concluded arrangements to strengthen ties to boost trading activities between Nigeria and the U.S.A. The collaboration, expectedly, will facilitate the development of Nigeria’s ports.
The trade volume between Nigeria and the United States currently stood at $5.3billion as at the last quarter of 2016. The Managing Director of NPA, Ms. Hadiza Bala- Usman disclosed this in Lagos, Tuesday, at a forum with a delegation from the Port of Miami, on a trade mission to Nigeria.
She said that Nigeria has been developing her port industry with a view to positioning it to play a key role in the country’s economic development. Bala- Usman also stated that the federal government was determined to develop the Nigerian ports to handle increased volumes of exports and imports that would result from the implementation of its economic development programmes.
