This is as the organisation is expecting 24 ships laden with petroleum products, food items and others from August 4 to 13.

The NPA said, on Wednesday in Lagos, that the ships were expected to arrive at the Lagos Port Complex.

The authority said the ships contained bulk wheat, general cargo, frozen fish, container, trucks, bulk sugar, petrol, bulk gypsum, palmitic palm fatty acid, bulk malt, butane gas, automobile gasoline and jet fuel.

It said eight other ships had arrived at the ports, waiting to berth with containers, frozen fish, general cargo, petrol, bulk fertilizer and ethanol.
