The President/Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has commended the Nigerian Ports Authority for the effective way it has handled the implementation of the Federal Government’s policy on domestic sales of crude oil and refined products in naira.

This is against the backdrop of Dangote donating a brand new coaster bus to the One-Stop-Shop Committee to further ease its operations.

According to a statement by the NPA on Tuesday, DIL stated this in a letter signed by its President Dangote, who assured that his organisation will continue to explore ways of supporting the committee to sustain its successes in the implementation of the presidential directive.

The letter reads in part, “In recognition of the enormous responsibility placed on the shoulders of the One Stop Shop by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and our commitment to ensuring the committee delivers on its mandate, I am pleased to donate to the committee one brand new coaster bus to facilitate the daily discharge of their operations. We believe this bus will be used productively by the committee as we continue to look for ways to support and appreciate the efforts of this noble committee.”

Recall that the Chairman of the Technical Sub-Committee on the implementation of the Federal Government’s policy on domestic sales of crude oil and refined products in naira, Zacch Adedeji, had, during a recent visit to NPA, commended the OSS Team, led by the NPA, for ensuring smooth operations of the directive.

Adedeji lauded the team led by NPA for playing a pivotal role in the successful implementation of the presidential directive on the domestic sales of crude oil and refined products in naira.

“We recognise that this pioneering effort is a significant achievement and no doubt reflects your commitment and patriotism. Thus, we encourage you to maintain the hard work and dedication that has made this initiative a success. We also extend our gratitude to all participating agencies for their invaluable cooperation and support,” Adedeji said.
