I knew when that building was started, I only prayed that with the speed they were building it that something like this wouldn't happen but it unfortunately did.
The engineer, contractor and even the state government must be held culpable.

THE SIT AT HOME

Onitsha, the most populated city after Lagos and Kano with a total number of 7,425,000 people is less busy today as its people obey the sit at home instructions for BIAFRA and as well in rememberance of the death of their kinsmen who died during the Nigerian Civil war which lasted for 30 months, between 1967 to 1970, and the ones who died in Onitsha, Aba other parts of Igbo land at the second peaceful protest led by Maazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Banks, Companies, Big Markets, Industries and Mini Markets are shut down today and so far, it has been peaceful.

WHY ONITSHA INLAND PORT IS STILL LYING FALLOW

By Tony Onyima

Conceived in 1982 during the regime of President Shehu Shagari, the Onitsha Inland Port sits on the banks of the River Niger occupying a total of 11 hectares of land. It was meant to be an important nodal point for intermodal exchange in the Eastern economic corridor. Subsequent military regimes ensured its completion. But surprisingly, not withstanding its completion the port was never put into use, leading to the rapid deterioration of the sophisticated equipment and other infrastructure.
Following intense public outcry, the Federal government in 2012 completed a rehabilitation and upgraded exercise of the river port with replacement of obsolete cargo handling cranes with more modern and higher capacity ones. According to the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), owners of the river port, the port complex has two 64 tons of mobile harbor cranes, two 50 and 30 tons of forklifts, two 250 KVA power generating sets, one 45 tons reach stacker, one low bed, one 80 tons mobile crane and one 500 KVA power generating set. Besides these equipments, other facilities include staff quarters, fire station, administrative block,transit shed, police post, mechanical workshop and network of tarred roads.
In an apparent effort not to allow the new equipment deteriorate again, the Federal government in 2013 decided to concession the port on the basis of ‘rehabilitate, operate and transfer’. Unfortunately, six years down the line the concession processes have been bugged by bureaucracy. Due to this bureaucratic delays, the financing agreement with World Bank for the concession lapsed in 2018. In their submission at a public hearing in Abuja on Thursday, August 15, 2019 by the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on why Warri, Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar and Onitsha Inland ports are not being put to maximum use, NIWA disclosed that it has now taken up the responsibility to finance the concession process. The maximal functionality of the Onitsha Inland port is now hinged on the successful conclusion of the concession and delivery of the facility to a preferred bidder. In fact, last year the government granted the Onitsha Inland port the status of ‘Port of Origin and Destination’. With such status, goods can be directly consigned to and from Onitsha river port to any part of the world.
However, the port will still have post-concession challenges which may hinder its optimal use. The port was designed to work the Warri port as its point of imported cargo and export of cargo. The shallowness of the depth of Escravos entrance has been a major challenge to the optimal use of Warri port and other jetty terminals in that maritime environment. Most ports in the Eastern corridor have shallow channels and as such cannot accommodate bigger vessels except those that have flat bottoms. For instance, while Lagos port has a depth berth of between 9 to 13.5 meters, those of the Eastern corridor have the following depth: Onne (8 to 11 meters), Port Harcourt (7.1 to 9.1 meters), Warri (6.4 to 7.6 meters) and Calabar (5.4 to 6.4 meters). It’s interesting to note that ports in neighboring countries like Ghana and Republic of Benin have depth of 19 and 15 meters respectively. Because of the high rate of siltation of River Niger, there must a regular maintenance dredging to keep the channel navigable. Also the security challenge of vessels going to Eastern ports, it was disclosed, has become so worrisome that any ship on the route must carry what is termed “war insurance” with additional security. Consequently, shipment from China to Lagos which cost $1,500 will cost between $4,000 to $5,000 to Calabar seaport. The security agencies who appeared at the public hearing were unanimous in calling on Federal government to partner with other countries in the Gulf of Guinea Commisson as well as relevant security agencies of the United Nations to checkmate activities of sea pirates in the Gulf of Guinea.

It will be recalled that following the adoption of a motion sponsored by Hon. Ifeanyichukwu Anthony Ibezi on Tuesday, July 18, 2019, the House of Representatives set up a 14-man ad hoc committee with Hon. Baba Yusuf Yakub as its Chairman. Other members of the committee are Hon. Ibezi Ifeanyichukwu, Hon. Makama Missau Ibrahim, Hon. Onuh Blessing Onyeche, Hon. Haruna Maitala, Hon. Victor Amela, Hon. Nuhu Yakubu Danja, Hon. Aliyu Ibrahim Almustapha, Hon. Alex Egbona, Hon. Akiolu Moshood Kayode, Hon. Kolade Victor Akinjo, Hon. Olayide Adewale Akinremi, Hon. Kalu Benjamin Okezie and Hon. Suny Goli Isreal.

The committee is to seek ways of restoring the full use of Warri, Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar and Onitsha Inland ports in order to decongest Apapa and Tin Can Island ports. The ad-hoc committee is expected to hold further public hearings in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Warri and visit all the Eastern ports. It is also expected to report back within six weeks with its findings for further legislative action.

DMGS Onitsha,

Umunnem, Daalu kwa nu.

Another appeal i would like to make to Anambra State Government is to consider greening of Onitsha.

The era when our people totally did not see anything beautiful with trees and flowers on our streets and roads should begin to be reversed. I can say Onitsha and Nnewi are most seriously affected by this phenomena.Awka is also gradually losing any potential to become a green city.

Apart from helping to purify the air which we desperately need in our major cities, we will be beautifying the environment and making it more conducive for habitation

Can we seriously begin to send out those ARMA boys to go into our major cities and not just patch potholes, but also plant aesthetic trees along the roads?

If u go to old gra, u will see trees everywhere( don't know if they are still there as we hate them so much)
My street and house have trees.

One of the reason onitsha will always look like third class city.
Like the poster above me, no green anywhere.
U will evaporate if u walk 2 kilometres in onitsha.
