The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and ITB-HITECH Joint Venture are collaborating on an initiative to modernise the ports in Nigeria, beginning with the Lagos Ports: Lagos Tin Can Island Port and Lagos Apapa Port Complex (Apapa Quays).
The premier ports in Nigeria play a crucial role in the country’s maritime trade. They have relatively low state-of-the-art facilities, which still significantly contribute to the country’s economy. Modernisation is expected to address the critical deterioration of infrastructure at the port complexes.
Natural Eco Capital & Sky Capital is the project’s environmental and social consultant. It was a big one for the team as the ESIA report, with a particular focus on the ESMP, received exceptional commendation from the Panel Chairman, Hon. Engr. Anthony Ojeshina, at the public review held at Rockview Hotel, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria, on August 5, 2024. The Federal Ministry of Environment and its expert panel acknowledged our work as one of the best they have ever seen, a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire team.
The letter below expresses the appreciation from the CEO for the team.
