Mohammed,
while interacting with the Immigration boss, informed her that with the Apapa
Port serving as an important economic facility for the nation, it was necessary
that a forum is provided for heads of security and other government regulatory
bodies operating in the port to meet regularly and discuss security and other
important issues for the overall interest of the port in particular and the

While
further assuring continuous support to the Immigration boss, the Port Manager
also discussed that the port has been concerned over reports that some security
personnel operating from land and water side have been extorting port users, an
act which he said has continued to give the port a bad name.

Anas
therefore requested the Controller to fish out and deal with such bad eggs that
may exist in her department; especially since immigration personnel deal with
captains and sailors who bring vessels to the port.
