The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is planning to commence a recruitment exercise that is aimed at reducing unemployment
Ms Hadiza Usman, the NPA boss, also revealed that the job vacancies would be streamlined and open to young people with professional skills
Usman also said there was need for the federal government to dredge the Calabar port to aid business activities since it is close to the north
The managing director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiza Usman, has revealed that the organisation would commence a recruitment exercise soon.
The NPA, a federal government revenue-earning parastatal, is to recruit younger professionals in view of the ageing workforce. Disclosing this at a news conference on Friday, August 12, 2016, to round off her ongoing tour of the Calabar port, Cross River state, Usman said a lot of skills and knowledge needed to be transferred into the authority.
“We met an arrangement on ground concerning the decision to recruit as the present workforce is ageing. “We want to recruit specialists, mariners, critical operational staff. These are those positions that we will be targeting.
“We encourage every member of the public to be on the look-out for the advertisement of vacancies and to apply,” she said according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). She said that the 10-year old port concession exercise is due for a review holistically, adding that the review will broadly examine all facets of the terms of port concession engagement.
She said the authority was already reviewing its situation which would cover areas like financing models and the concession environment.
“We would reach out to the ICRC and they would be part of the review,” she said adding that as the nation’s economic climate changes, there is need to adjust. She added that many agencies including the NNPC are financially indebted to the NPA, adding that the management would proceed aggressively to recover the debts. She said there was the need to dredge the Calabar port and make the draught deeper.
Usman said that the management of the port had spoken with the Cross River government to partner and open up the Calabar port which she called the closest to the north-east and. READ
She said it was important to revive that route so that the mineral deposits in the north would be exported abroad through the port. She said: “We believe that the capacity of the ports might not be fully utilised now. This is critical to us as we seek for port development across the country.”
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is also in the process of recruiting about 10,000 officers. The vacancies have closed while the force is said to be processing applications.
