The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) on Wednesday moved to boost ports security with a donation of operational security equipment to the Ports Authority Police (Western), Lagos.
The security equipment which is to assist the Police in safeguarding Nigeria’s seaports include security accoutrements.
The security items were presented on Wednesday at the Ports Authority Police Headquarters in Apapa, Lagos, on behalf of the Managing Director of the NPA, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, by the Port Manager of Lagos Port Complex (LPC), Mr. Adebowale Lawal.
Lawal explained that the donation was a reflection of the Authority’s determination to ensure that the security architecture of Nigerian ports is strengthened, adding that this is to ensure protection of critical maritime infrastructure.
He said that the equipment will go a long way in improving the operational capacity of the Ports Authority Police in safeguarding port facilities, protecting port users, as well as preventing security breaches within the ports and waterfront areas.
Among the security equipment were bulletproof vests, tactical helmets, raincoats, touch lights, handcuffs, operational boots, batons, and other essential operational gear aimed at enhancing the efficiency, safety, and preparedness of police personnel.
The Commissioner of Police, Ports Authority Police (Western) Command, CP Oluwatoyin Agbaminoja, who received the equipment commended the NPA Managing Director and the management for the good geture.
She described the donation as a timely intervention, adding that it further demonstrates the enduring partnership between the Nigerian Ports Authority and the Nigeria Police Force in securing the country’s maritime gateways.
