The Chairman of the NPPC, Bolaji Sunmola, stated this when he led members of the group on a courtesy visit to the council’s headquarters in Lagos.

The NPCC chairman who recognised the contribution of Shippers’ council to the development of Nigeria‘s maritime sector, reiterated the need to strengthen the regulatory power of the council as ombudsmen in port operations.
