Others are Emmanuel Anda (Lekki Port), Kenneth Edith Okezie (Rivers Port), and Ekine Ibifri Alex (Calabar Port).

Dantsoho announced the immediate transfer of the former port managers, Charles Okaga, Sylvester Egede, Teslim Bamidele Makanjuola, Olumati Ikechi Festus, and Aliyu Abubakar, back to the NPA headquarters.

This is Dantsoho’s second round of appointments since taking office as NPA Managing Director in July 2024.
