The Nigerian Ports Authority proudly celebrates 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.
The Managing Director, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, noted that he deliberately prioritized gender equality in key appointments, starting with his aides and Technical Assistants: “Women hold 60% of these roles, with men making up the remaining 40%. 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.
