The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has commenced implementation of the Federal Government’s directive to coordinate all regulatory, security, and stakeholder services for the sale of crude oil and petroleum products in Naira to the Dangote Refinery.
NPA’s Managing Director, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, announced this during an inter-agency stakeholders meeting, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to ensuring smooth and efficient delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and other petroleum products through the newly established One-Stop-Shop (OSS) located at NPA headquarters.
Speaking when he chaired the inter-agency stakeholders meeting on the One-stop-shop (OSS) at the NPA headquarters in Lagos, Dantsoho said,
“We are poised to collaborate and provide the efficiencies necessary to deliver on this national imperative of ensuring the availability of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and other petroleum products.”
“We are also setting up a one-stop shop that will coordinate service provision from all regulatory, and security agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure a smooth implementation of this initiative.” This is in line with the directive of the Federal Government for the One-Stop-Shop to be located in the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA).
The OSS team, which is comprised of representatives from NPA, Nigerian Navy, NNPC Limited, Dangote Group, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigerian Maritime Administration & Safety Agency (NIMASA), and NDLEA, has a top official from the NPA Marine & Operations Directorate, Ms. Maureen Ogbonna, as its focal person.
