The Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership (AYAGL) has commended the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Abubakar Dantsoho, for what it described as “outstanding leadership and remarkable achievements” since his appointment in July 2024.
In a press statement issued in Abuja on March 1, 2026, and signed by its President, Abdul Danbature, the group said Dr. Dantsoho has demonstrated “exceptional competence, visionary leadership, and an unwavering commitment to repositioning Nigeria’s ports for greater efficiency, transparency, and global competitiveness.”
The Assembly noted that within a short period in office, the NPA boss has introduced reforms that are already producing measurable results in the maritime sector and the wider Nigerian economy.
“Since assuming office in July 2024, Dr. Dantsoho has demonstrated exceptional competence, visionary leadership, and an unwavering commitment to repositioning Nigeria’s ports for greater efficiency, transparency, and global competitiveness. His bold reforms in port modernization, digital transformation, revenue growth, infrastructure rehabilitation, and enhanced trade facilitation have already begun yielding measurable and commendable results for the maritime sector and the Nigerian economy at large,” the statement read.
AYAGL further stated that the Nigerian Ports Authority has experienced improved performance under the current leadership, citing stronger institutional reforms and increased operational efficiency.
“Under his leadership, the Nigerian Ports Authority has witnessed improved operational efficiency, strengthened institutional reforms, and enhanced Nigeria’s standing in regional and international maritime engagements. These strides reflect not only professional excellence but also patriotism and dedication to national development,” the group said.
The youth organization also commended Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for appointing Dr. Dantsoho to head the NPA, describing the decision as a demonstration of commitment to merit and strategic leadership.
“We equally extend our profound appreciation to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for the foresight and courage in appointing Dr. Dantsoho to this critical national assignment. This appointment has once again demonstrated Mr. President’s commitment to merit, capacity, and strategic leadership in driving the Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement added.

“We, the Northern Youth and indeed Nigerians at large, respectfully urge Mr. President to continue making such excellent and impactful appointments across key sectors of the economy. Nigeria’s progress depends greatly on placing capable, visionary, and result-oriented leaders in positions of responsibility,” AYAGL stated.
