The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says it is taking steps to reduce bottlenecks affecting non-oil exports and to increase foreign exchange (forex) inflows. NPA Managing Director Abubakar Dantsoho makes the announcement in Abuja, describing a renewed push to expand export channels and improve how cargo is processed.
Across the reports, the stated focus is on improving the infrastructure and operational arrangements that exporters rely on, alongside measures intended to make trade facilitation more efficient. One outlet adds that the NPA is operationalising dedicated Export Processing Terminals as part of targeted interventions for non-oil exporters. Another emphasizes government plans to remove bottlenecks and link that effort to stronger trade resilience and forex generation.
While the outlets use different phrasing, they describe the same core message: NPA is advancing actions intended to streamline export logistics, reduce delays for exporters, and support Nigeria’s forex inflows through non-oil trade.
