The dredging of the River Niger was completed last year and its channels opened for use, General Manager, Corporate Services, National Inland Waterways Authority, Mr Tayo Fadile, has said.
Fadile said this on Wednesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lokoja.

It would recalled that the Federal Government awarded the N35bn dredging contract to six contractors in 2009.

The contracts, awarded in five slots, covered a distance of about 572 kilometres from Warri in Delta to Baro in Niger state.

Fadile said the arrangements had been completed for movement of goods and human traffic on the waterways.

He commended the federal government for the initiative, noting that when put to proper use, the channel would go a long way to boost water transportation in the country.

Make I first see ship before agreeing

Ok. But its good

Oh, i was wondering why Akanu Ibiam became a seaport and Stealer had a waterfront mansion. Now all the dots are connected and it makes sense!

Interesting

Nonsense!!
We were told there will be a seaport in lokoja after the completion of the project. Also a refinery will be built whereby vessels can b coming in and going out. Gej, where are those things promised to ppl of kogi before they voted u last time?
This people are just lying; they stopped the project since 2012 without any official reason given. Infact, kogites were force to believe that d lokoja project was brought to halt so that attention can be paid fully to d construction of a ship-yard in bayelsa.

this doesn't add up.

an achievement of last year is been celebrated now in a country were every thing is hyped and over celebrated
