Bello-Koko, who received the IMO team at the NPA corporate headquarters in Lagos last Friday, commended the team's efforts at reaching out to all designated agencies and stakeholders and also understudying their systems in order to ensure a seamless integration into one port community system, which has become the global practice among most maritime nations of the world.
