The One-Stop-Shop (OSS) programme which seeks to drive the Naira-For-Crude Oil sales has sparked an increase in business activities and vessel feeds at Dangote Refinery.
Recall that Nigeria, on October 1st 2024, established the OSS initiative to drive the programme for the Naira-For-Crude sales and the programme has been revealed to be a tremendous success by the Managing Director of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho.
His words: “The OSS, which is domiciled and being coordinated by the NPA, has achieved a tremendous success to ensure the availability of Petroleum products in the country.
“NPA is coordinating the One-Stop-Shop initiative to streamline the sale and distribution of petroleum products in Naira, particularly for the Dangote Refinery.”
The OSS involves various regulatory and security agencies, including the Nigerian Navy, NNPC Limited, FIRS, the Customs, NIMASA, and NDLEA, to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
The Port Manager, Lekki Deep Seaport, Mr. Emmanuel Anda, also expressed delight at the avalanche of good commendations from port users for the increase in cargo throughput, less cargo dwell time, higher predictability ratio and the general efficiency being recorded currently at the port.
In another event, the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) Maritime Branch is strengthening ties with the operators of the Lekki Deep Sea Port.
The Chairman of the NPA Senior Staff Union, Comrade Akinola Bodunde, disclosed this when his team visited the Lekki Port Manager, Mr. Emmanuel Anda and other staff members of the NPA at the Port.
In the Chairman’s entourage were; Rotimi Holms ,PR0, Oluwole Ezekiel Trustee 1, Frederick Ochormogor DEP President, Adolphus Eko, General Secretary, Richard Onwordi Trustee 3.
The visit underscores the SSASCGOC Maritime Branch’s commitment to fostering collaboration and improving working conditions at one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing seaports located in Lagos.
The Chairman, Akin Bodunde also pledged at the visit the Union’s commitment to the welfare and safety of lives of the workforce within the Port environment.
He further asked for the management’s support in the area of collaboration towards promoting staff productivity aimed at optimising efficient Port services across board.
The Port Manager, Anda, welcomed the Union Members to his office and thanked them for their efforts so far while promising to collaborate with them to find solutions in the areas of concern which is in line with the vision of the Managing Director of NPA, Dantsoho.
Mr. Anda further encouraged the SSASCGOC members to continue to support the NPA management in their quest to build a robust relationship and an optimal working environment that enhances productivity.
