Present at the occasion was the General Manger, Health, Safety and Environment of NPA, Engineer T.O Talabi and the Representative of Tin Can Island Port Manager, Samuel Odewole. while the African circle was represented by the Acting Coordinating officer, Fidi Ahmadu and Mrs Oyenike Shobowale, Regional Manager west.
