#EndSARS: Josepdam presents computers to NPA

Terminal operator, Josepdam Port Services Nigeria Limited, has presented personal computers to Nigerian Port Authority, NPA, as part of measures targeted at assisting the organization, which suffered a major attack due to the recent EndSARS protest.

While presenting the Computers, the Chairman, Josepdam, Saheed Kuteyi, said: “On behalf of my management and staff, I am here to present these items just to support and commiserate with NPA in respect of what happened during the #EndSARS protests. We have been working together with NPA since 2006 under a very conducive atmosphere. This is just a token, and better things are coming in the future.”

In her response, Managing Director, NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, who was represented by the Executive Director, Marine, and Operations, Onari Brown, said: “On behalf of managing director, we appreciate you for identifying with us in our moment of sorrow and need. In fact, NPA is an organization that should be protected because the government doesn’t give us money in any way; we rather contribute to the government’s purse. We do our corporate social responsibilities.

“Somehow, when there is a mob, you cannot tell how it happened. But in a moment like this, when you see people crying when someone passes on, do not just say sorry. Get close to the person and find out the assistance they would need. It is possible the person is crying not just because he lost a loved one but because of the expenses. So when people come to sympathize with us, it gives us great joy, and it makes us know that we are actually in a relationship.”
