Nigerian Ports Authority has celebrated the resilience, dedication, and invaluable contributions of women in the maritime sector—including firefighting, security, piloting, engineering, hydrography, administrative and maritime-support services such as aids to navigation.
These remarkable women are excelling even in roles that traditionally demand male-kind of strength.
Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, noted that he deliberately prioritised gender equality in key appointments, starting with his aides and Technical Assistants.
Women, Dantsoho said, “hold 60 per cent of these roles, with men making up the remaining 40 per cent. This intentional step underscores NPA’s commitment to advancing women’s participation and success across the maritime industry.”
We salute the remarkable women of NPA and beyond who continue to drive progress, break barriers, and shape a more equitable future for the sector.
