In his speech, the Director of NSC, South-South Zone, Mr Glory Onojedo, said the move was a good development considering that before access into the ports did not have control.
According to Onojedo, “The registration means so much to us in this zone. If you look at the ports in the Eastern zone particularly, area 1 Port and Onne, access into the ports lacks effective control”.
