NPA Celebrates Women's Contributions on International Women's Day

On International Women's Day, the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) expressed its commitment to gender inclusion and celebrated the contributions of women in the maritime sector. Dr. Dantsoho, the NPA boss, noted that women currently hold 60% of positions within the organization, while men account for 40%.

This reflects the NPA's determination to foster an inclusive workplace that creates pathways for women to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the development of Nigeria's maritime industry. The NPA proudly acknowledged the resilience and invaluable contributions of women across various maritime professions, including firefighting, port security, marine piloting, engineering, hydrography, and maritime support services.

Dr. Dantsoho highlighted the critical role women play in sustaining the efficiency, safety, and growth of Nigeria's port operations, demonstrating their competence and strength in traditionally male-dominated fields. The NPA's celebration underscores its commitment to breaking barriers and shaping an equitable future in the maritime industry.
