Latest Nigeria Port Authority Job Vacancies 2011

Port operations and development in Nigeria began in the middle of the 19th century.

Effort towards the provision of facilities for ocean going vessels started in the early 1900 with the construction of the Lagos breakwater (east and west moles) Capital dredging activities aimed at opening up the Lagos Lagoon commenced in 1906.

A year later, precisely 1914, the Lagos harbour was opened to shipping traffic Twenty one years later (1948), capacities were expanded through the building of additional quay walls of Port Operations and Management remained under the control of different government departments during this era (pre 1954) Cargo handling at the terminals was the prerogative of Nigerian Railways While the Marine Department took charge of vessel movement in the channel up to the quays.

This system hindered port development and curtailed operational efficiency. The ports became less competitive and a conduit to drain the meager national resources.

In an attempt to change this trend, the activities of the Authority (NPA) were commercialized and offered greater autonomy in accordance with the recommendation of the Technical Committee on Privatization and Commercialization. However this could not bring the expected improvement because of the public service bureaucracy and interference. It was later revised to the initial status.
