The newly-appointed Minister of Marine & Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, has expressed his amazement at the operations of Nigeria’s indigenous seaport terminal operator, Ports & Cargo Handling Services Limited, operator of Terminal C, Tin Can Island Port, Apapa, Lagos.
During his maiden tour and inspection of the seaports in Lagos, the minister, who is former governor of Osun State, could not hide his enthusiasm at discovering that an indigenous seaport operator could be performing so well and very competitive in a business hitherto a premium for foreign operators.
The minister was received by the management of the terminal led by Capt. Ibraheem Olugbade, Executive Director, Administration.
Upon arrival at the terminal, he was taken on a tour of the facilities of the terminal. Oyetola was excited at the level of infrastructural development and investment in the terminal and assured that the Federal Government would provide the enabling environment to make sure that investments in the maritime sector are secured.
