FG To Automate Nigerian Ports Operations

As part of the Federal Government’s plan to automate operations
in the Nigerian ports, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) yesterday
signed an agreement with National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with a
view to automating data collection and gathering in the ports.

Listing the benefits of automating the operations, at the
signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two
agencies in Abuja, the Managing Director of NPA, Hajia Hadiza Bala
Usman, said that the automation will bring timely access to data
exchange for planning, research, monitoring, projections and
reporting across port industry.

“I would like to specifically request the collaboration of
automation of data collection. This is an area that we really
require support on how we can really move towards automation of
data which will eliminate errors and also have live and up-to-date
information as and when required.

“I will like to specifically ask for that area of support to
guide Nigerian Ports Authority in the deployment of automation as
it relates to data gathering,” he said.
