NPA, NRC collaborate to develop rail system in ports

BY GODWIN ORITSE

THE Management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has assured that the  good partnership between the Authority and the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) which is geared towards developing the rail system within the ports, will reduce container carrying trucks on the roads.

Speaking during the visit of a 2 man United Kingdom Mass Transport Sector Delegation to the Headquarters of the Authority, NPA’s  Managing Director Omar Suleiman who was represented by Engineer Tolulope Talabi asserted that NPA is working in line with its 25 years development master plan, meant to dove tail into the Federal Government desire of becoming one of the 20 leading economy of the world by the year 2020.
