The Public Accounts Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives have honoured the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for its unwavering commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and audit compliance.
The special recognition was awarded during the National Conference on Public Accounts and Fiscal Governance held in Abuja, a high-level forum that brought together lawmakers, anti-graft agencies, civil society groups, and public finance experts to discuss strategies for strengthening Nigeria’s fiscal structure.
In their remarks, the leaders of the two committees praised the NPA for maintaining high standards of financial reporting and for consistently supporting public accountability processes.
They described the award as a symbol of institutional integrity, noting that the NPA stood out for its proactive audit compliance and strategic support of the conference. “The authority’s contributions were pivotal in making this policy dialogue a reality,” the committees noted, adding that the NPA’s transparency efforts have become a benchmark in the public sector.
The Managing Director of the NPA, Dr. Abubakar Dantosho, received the award on behalf of the agency, affirming its commitment to deepening reforms and entrenching openness in its operations.
He was represented by the Executive Director Finance and Administration, Vivian Richard Edet, who received the award on behalf of the authority.
