Greenville Port management in Sinoe County has embarked upon massive renovations to give the facility new and modernized looks.
This is an effort to improve the infrastructure development in the country’s port sector.
The move initiated by management team led by Sekou Dukuly, is part of the National Port Authority (NPA) broader commitment to modernizing port infrastructure development across the country. The ongoing renovations which began on Sunday, April 5, focuses on upgrading six key infrastructure facilities, including the rehabilitation of the road leading from the port entrance to the pier.
According to the management’s team, such initiative is to improve operational standards and strengthens the port’s capacity to accommodate increased maritime activities.
Additionally, the move is in alignment with the Board of Directors’ resolution and commitment to the development of port infrastructures around the country.
As the means of empowering local businesses in the county, the renovation contract was awarded to the PA Engineering and Construction Company (PAECC) and Raph Engineer and Construction Associates—two reputable construction firms operating in Sinoe County.
The NPA said as part of best practices, the selection of the contractors followed a rigorous bidding process in adherence to Public Procurement and Concessions Commission (PPCC) regulations, ensuring transparency and competitive participation.
At the official signing ceremony and project handover, Cllr. Sylvia A. Tarley, Director of the Port of Greenville, underscored the importance of timely and quality execution of the project.
She said, the Board of Directors and the senior management team are keen on efficiency and effectiveness in the project’s implementation.
Madam Tarley urged the contractors to adhere to the highest engineering standards as they work to revitalize the port’s key infrastructure.
She then extended profound gratitude and appreciation to President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for his unwavering support of the country’s infrastructure agenda and his commitment to the NPA’s modernization efforts.
