Nigerian Port Authority Recruitment 2024/2025

The Nigerian Port Authority which is abbreviated as NPA is a federal government agency established in 1954 by the CAP 155 ports Act of the Federal Republic of Nigeria law and amended in 1999.

It was founded with the sole aim of regulating the ports industry of Nigeria and providing all ports services. Acting as the landlord, the Nigeria Port Authority provides not only technical oversight but also marine services and common user facilities while the private operators remain involved in the offloading and loading of cargoes.

In 2005, during the administration of former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, the Nigeria Port Authority went through a reform program to promote efficiency through a Private-Public partnership which resulted in the concession of the corporation. On this note, 24 port terminals which were formerly managed and regulated by the Nigerian Port Authority were concessioned to private operations for a period of time.

With core values including innovation, efficiency, safety, customer satisfaction, and security, the Nigerian Port Authority strives to become a national brand asset anchored on service excellence. More importantly, the Nigerian Port Authority operates about six (6) major ports in Nigeria which are operated in conjunction with the Nigerian Shippers Council, Ministry of Transport, and other government agencies.

The Nigerian Port Authority is headquartered in Marina, Lagos State and headed by the Managing Director, Hadiza Bala Usman.
