The Nigerian Ports Authority has facilitated the recovery and clearance of critical power equipment cargoes belonging to the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited that had been abandoned and left idle at various Nigerian seaports.
According to the NDPHC, The intervention is expected to accelerate the implementation of critical power projects across the country while helping the company avert potential losses running into billions of naira.
The NDPHC Managing Director, Jennifer Adighije commended the NPA for its timely intervention, describing the recovery and clearance of the equipment as critical to strengthening Nigeria’s power infrastructure and ensuring the effective delivery of ongoing and planned power projects.
She explained that the equipment was required for the execution of critical projects by the NDPHC, stressing that prolonged delays in recovering and clearing the consignments could have negatively affected project timelines, increased costs and undermined efforts to improve electricity supply.
Adighije noted that the timely clearance of power-sector equipment was particularly important to ensuring that contractors and project teams had unhindered access to the materials required to execute projects within schedule.
