In a move to provide the operational collaboration necessary to grow export, the Managing Director, Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) Dr Abubakar Dantsoho has received the Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited, Dr Phillip Mshelbila at the authority’s headquarters in Marina.

Speaking during the visit, Dr Mshelbila expressed Nigeria LNG’s appreciation for the NPA’s continued support and solicited increased synergy as NLNG limited is expanding its LNG production capacity to take advantage of increase global demand.

Dr Dantsoho in his response said, “imbued by the mandate of the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola for NPA to support the increased export orientation of the Federal Government, we assure you of our unwavering support. Nigeria LNG has played a key role in Nigeria’s economic development and export growth since inception. We will grow this partnership.”
