NPA urges security agencies to key into presidential order

STAKEHOLDERS in Onne Port, especially the security agencies have been urged by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to promote an effective inter-agency cooperation and collaboration to ensure the total success of the Presidential Order on the Ease of Doing Business Directive in the Ports. This is even as the agency reminded security agents in the ports of their respective roles of ensuring the security of life, goods and property in the port and its environs.

The Port Manager, Alhassan Ismaila Abubakar, gave the charge in Onne, recently while receiving the new General Officer Commanding (GOC) 6th Division Garrison, Port Harcourt, Brigadier A. Bande, the new Comptroller of Immigration FLT, Mrs Chinwe Obi-Onyeakagbu, Director, Department of State Service (DSS), South-South Zone, Mr M. B. Magaji and the DPO Onne, CSP Yahaya Mana Usman, who paid separate courtesy calls to his office.

The Port Manager commended the conduct of the Security Officers and men in the port. He also extolled the leadership of the agencies for their skills, competency and efforts, which he noted had ensured that the port is safe for operations and business.

Mallam Alhassan while enumerating some aspects of the Presidential Order on the Ease of Doing Business as it concerns the various agencies reiterated that the NPA and the respective agencies, all have a stake to ensure the objectives of the directives are realised.

He therefore appreciated the visitors for the courtesy call and expressed the hope that the visit would cement the existing cordial relationship between the port and their agencies as well as establishing workable synergy for better performance between them.
