Port Management Programme Cycle 1 Dissertations in Nigeria

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]From 25 – 26 April, Mark Assaf and Aylwin Zabula, along with port experts from Dublin Port Company, and from Ghana, as well as senior managers from Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), will take part in the juries that will assess the case studies of 18 managers from the port communities of Nigeria. The participants have successfully completed the 8 modules of the Modern Port Management Course. Those who pass their dissertations will receive  UNCTAD’s Modern Port Management  Certificate.

Nigeria is undergoing the first cycle of the Port Management Programme. Each training cycle lasts 16 to 24 months and comprises 240 hours of in-class training and a final thesis. The deliveries are both led by UNCTAD and international instructors, as well as local senior managers who have completed the training- of-trainers workshop. This strategy  highlights the uniqueness and strength of the TrainForTrade Port Management Programme in fostering local ownership to reinforce its impact and ensure sustainability. Local ownership of the programme is achieved through a financing scheme that requires the participating ports to provide the majority of the programme’s funds, and by gradually shifting responsibility for implementing the programme from UNCTAD to the participating ports.
