The Acting Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Mohammed Bello Koko has assured managers of the Lekki Deep Sea Port (LDSP) project that the agency would ensure all relevant materials and support are readily made available towards ensuring it’s take off in the second quarter of 2022 as planned.

Onari Brown and other Executives of Lekki Freeport Terminal during the working visit to the NPA Management at the Authority’s Corporate Headquarters in Lagos on Tuesday.

Bello-Koko said that the take-off of the much-awaited port is in line with the earlier mandate set by its regulators with a view to easing the present pressure faced at the Tincan and Apapa Port axis.

The NPA helmsman spoke when he received a delegation of the Lekki Port Terminal Executives led by Mr. Denrice Moos at his office in Lagos.

According to Bello-Koko, the NPA Management is looking forward to seeing commencement of operations at the Lekki Port which would in turn relieve current pressure in Apapa ports, even as he added that plans are underway to expand and embark on major repair works at the Apapa and Tincan Island Ports.

He told the LDSP delegation that: “We are eager that Lekki Port starts operation. We believe once it becomes operational, the pressure at Tin Can and Apapa would be reduced.”

The acting MD further affirmed that the coming into operation of the Lekki Port is a positive development in view of the fact that importers would have options by way of alternate port to discharge their cargo, noting that discussions are on-going with the Federal Ministry of Transportation and Terminal Operators.

Speaking on infrastructural provision, the Acting Managing Director urged officials from the Deep Sea Port Terminal to ensure they collaborate with relevant agencies of Government in fixing the roads leading to the port, just as he explained that the NPA Management was already deploying its personnel to assist in the area of human capacity development.

He cautioned that operational activities geared towards improved service delivery would be hampered if the present state of the road is not upgraded, even as he said the NPA is working towards the possibility of getting a rail line to aid operations of the new port as quickly as possible.

According to him, “Management is tirelessly working in making sure that the quality of badges for its operations is top notch.”

“Management had since started with the liberalisation of badges on our waters which have since been scrutinized under the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and the Minimum Safety Standard ( MSS).”

Furthermore, he reiterated that, “management would ensure a higher quality of badges just as it is almost at the verge of the receipt of Tug boats and other operational tools for improved service delivery. This is against the backdrop of the observations made by the visiting team on data for the badges.”

On his part, leader of the team, Mr. Denrice Moos said the visit to the NPA Management afforded the company the opportunity to interact on areas bordering on status updates and construction work at Lekki, and also seek for ways of assisting it by way of partnership in eradicating bottlenecks in operations.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
