NPA shuts illegal jetties, bars rickety barges
  • Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala Usman (sitting, middle), with some members of the House of Representatives Committee on Ports and Harbours, led by Mohammed Garba Datti, during their oversight visit to NPA in Lagos

Following increasing reports of abuses of process in the operation of barges and private jetties, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has sealed three illegal jetties and banned barges that are not sea-worthy from operation in the nation’s waterways.

This was sequel to the establishment of an inter-agency committee comprising representatives of the NPA, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Nigerian Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) and the Lagos State Inland Waterways Authority (LASWA).

In a statement, the Assistant General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications, Ibrahim Nasiru, disclosed that the committee was leading the clearing of the waterways from Ibeji/Ilashe axis up to Kirikiri Lighter Terminal and Mile Two Bridge of lay-by barges and tugboats.

It is also removing wrongly anchored barges that are obstructing visibility along the Kirikiri channel.

The committee, which appealed for stakeholders’ cooperation to ensure that barge operations are executed according to laid down regulations, said it remained committed to sustaining the current enforcement drive till operators totally comply with all laid down regulations.

“To this end, regular patrol of waterways will be carried out and sustained.”
