According to the Managing Director of NPA, Mohammed Bello Koko, the development is in tandem with the agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to diversify the nation’s economy and reduce dependence on oil exports,

In a statement issued on Friday and signed by NPA’s General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications; Mr Ibrahim Nasiru, the flag-off is coming ahead of the official launch of 10 certified Export Processing Terminals, spread across Lagos and Ogun States.

Speaking at the Ibeshe-Ikorodu export facility, designated as EssLibra Terminal, the NPA Managing Director urged all agencies involved in the export processing value chain to deploy adequate personnel and work in synergy, to ensure efficiency and quick turnaround in the processing of export cargoes.

While commending the management of EssLibra for the quality of facilities at the terminal, he assured them of the readiness of NPA to remove all impediments against seamless handling of locally-manufactured exports and agro-allied commodities.

Bello Koko charged the management of the terminal to resist the temptation to veer-off export processing for which the facility was built, as the objective is to have a one-stop-shop where all inspection, consolidation and stuffing of export-bound cargo will be conducted in a synchronized manner in order to eliminate all the delays that hitherto rendered Nigeria’s non-oil exports uncompetitive.

Speaking further, Bello Koko said the NPA management under his watch would effectively implement all government policies geared towards the promotion of exports, as well as strengthen indigenous capacity through the promotion of local content.

“We took cognizance of local content in the certification process of this terminal, and this is why I expect the host community to take ownership of this terminal and support its operations, in view of the multiplier benefits to the host community”, he said.

While conducting the NPA management team round the terminal, the Managing Director of EssLibra Nigeria Limited, Mr. Yemi Adunola, thanked the agency and its technical partners, the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), for their unalloyed support. He pledged his company’s readiness to render efficient services and a commitment to continuous improvement through sustained investments in human capital and requisite technology.

The EssLibra Terminal is an integrated logistics off-dock terminal, ready for all export activities such as stuffing, on-site customs clearance and barging services.

The terminal covers an area of 120,000sqm that includes an Export Processing Zone, Trailer Park, RoRo facility and Fuel Dump. The operator is offering over 100 dedicated trucks, seven barges, two cranes and eight container handlers, among other on-demand cargo equipment.
