NPA designates Lillypond terminal as final export processing centre

THE Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) has designated the Lilypond Container Terminal as the final processing centre for all export cargoes coming into the Lagos port Complex, Apapa.

Port Manager, Lagos Port Complex, Mrs. Funmilayo Olotu, who disclosed this in Lagos recently said in due course, the Nigeria Customs Service and other agencies of government would be informed of the take-off date noting that a lot of renovations are ongoing at the terminal.

She said, “Whatever is done and sealed at the terminal can now approach the port without any stoppage along the port corridor, it’s just for the containers to come into the port and go directly onto the vessels.

“When we are import-dependent nation, it is not building up our economy, it is when we are able to export our goods and they reach the destination in the right quality and quantity that we can begin to compete effectively among ports in the subregion.

“So, we are all here to ensure that the necessary platform is given for everybody to do the right thing and for Nigeria not to attract any negative comment anymore but for us to be able to stand on the core values of the federal government.”
