President Bola Tinubu recently rang changes at the leadership of the Nigerian Ports Authority, replacing the former MD, Mohammed Bello-Koko with Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho. In this report, TOLA ADENUBI looks at the task that lies ahead of the new NPA helmsman. PRESIDENT Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently announced a change of leadership at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), confirming a former National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who had stint at the NPA in 1992 as substantive Managing Director of the agency.
With over 25 years in Maritime Technology, International Transport, and Port Management, Abubakar Dantsoho is known for his analytical, data-driven approach and versatility as a team player.
The new NPA MD holds a Ph.D. in Maritime Technology from Liverpool John Moores University, UK (2015), an MSc in International Transport from Cardiff University, UK (1999), and a BSc (Hons) from the University of Maiduguri, Nigeria (1992), making President Tinubu’s appointment of a new MD a round peg in a round hole.
The new NPA MD also holds membership of various professional bodies including the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology, the Chartered Institute of Transport, the Institute of Logistics and Transport of Nigeria, the Nigerian Institute of Shipping, the Nigerian Institute of Management and the Nautical Institute, UK.
