wtfcoded:They are functional . Whether I have visited any of them is not only irrelevant it is a foolish question Lagos ports are more vialble because of low maintenance cost due to geogrphical advantages . The failure to develop it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with money. The reality is there is no government oney going into the ports in Lagos alll the government does is take and take . There is nothing to take in Port Harcourt abd Calabar and that is why they are less viable. If there is evacuation infrastructure in place then the Akwa Ibom port will be a great success. The question is where will the money for that come from. The other thing to bear in mind is our import consumption model is not sustainable if crude oil is the only way of paying for imports so we need to be thinking of ports that export not just import. The only thing I see on this thread is the idea of "bringing down" Lagos which is not rationally driven. I can bet anyone that Lekki and Badagry Ports will be completed before any one breaks ground in Ibaka. Ibaka may sound like a good idea to those who want to bring down Lagos but WHERE IS THE MONEY coming from for the ports and roads and rail lines Where is the oney coming fro. Nigeria is so much in debt right now so it will be inteesting to seeif this story is different from what we have heard before. To be clear the FG position is if you can find the money go ahead same as in Lekki 1 Like |

0monnak0da: Calaba port is not final destination for cargoes, Port Harcourt port on the other hand was about the second largest port in the country, however now the port is now underutilised and is facing huge facility challenges. We agree we have the Onne port managed by Intels, which is acclaimed one of the biggest oil and gas free zones in the world, but the Onne port is strictly focused on oil and gas related cargo and their charges are astronomically high. Even non oil cargo are charged as if they are oil related and this is not good for business in this era of economic diversification.Another challenge is the persistence inaction on the part of the port regulators concerning disparity in rates charges between the Lagos ports and the eastern ports. What we don’t understand is why the cargo passing through Port Harcourt ports will cost more than Lagos? This high rate is taking businesses away from Port Harcourt. Most business cargo is now going through Lagos and they are killing the ports in the east.all the importers from Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt and environs now pass their goods through Lagos and this shouldn’t be so. |

post=65556945: To start with, facilities like forts goes where the need and money is just like the basic economics Demand And Supply concept and theory, so if the need is really there for any port in your part of the country, Lagos, the FG or any agency under the sun can not kill that need and demand. Money is the basic factor and rule when it comes to building and actualizing facilities like seaports, not internet outburst, emotions and sentiments. From our understanding and the noise and cries you people litter NL and the internet with, your region is the richest in Nigeria, your region own everything in Nigeria from Lagos to Abuja and even according to you, 70% of the goods entering Nigeria heads to your villages in the SE/SS, so why are the folks in the SW/North saddled with the meager 30% of imports the ones building seaports on their own and the North building dry ports while you the main importers can not do anything for yourselves. I just don't see any economic logic o support the bogus claims you people throw out there with. You can not build your own airports and all you do is demand, cry and demand. You can not build seaports without casting blames and sabotage claims against other regions, you can not build even your own bridge without throwing blames and yelling marginalization left and right. When Akpabio was budgeting and pocketing billions meant for Ibaka every year and even presiding over the largest state budgets in the history of Nigeria, you Igbos were here on NL hailing and praising him all overt the places as the best governor in Nigeria, but now all of a sudden, it's a different story and the SW sabotaging the SE/SS. The folks in Lagos will not hesitate to build 10 seaports and get private funding to build the seaports if at the end of the day the need is there for 10 seaports. Access to huge and major markets, safety and security, quick [b]ROI (Return On Investment) are the main factors investors look at before siting and funding such major facilities, not based on sentiments, emotions and me too me too syndrome.

post=65556945:Why should this not be so from a business perspective , a sentimental one or a religious one.? The starting point is HOW DID IT COME TO BE SO? If we are not honest in answering this then we are wasting time here. The other thing about Lagos killing ports in the east is quite simply ridiculous That is life. Fulani do not sell spare parts Igbo do not sell cows why do we not talk about Igbos killing Fulani spare part dealers? Ae there no landlocke nations ? Everything you are saying is sentiment. That there ust be a port in the East is this for business reasons or some for or tribal rivalry. Let me ask a simple question Why is there no international airport east of the Niger that is competitive? Is there a conspiracy there? The honest truth about the Port situation is Lagos is the easiest option for an FG that only takes but won't spend. Look at the roads in Apapa e.g . Any port East of the Niger will succeed if it is homegrown.Waiting for the FG is a wait for eternity The British in their wisdom moved the capital to Nigeria and Lagos became the dominant port based on the Rail line to Lagos. The Western region took advantage of that and the manufacturing centre of Nigeria is next to the port. So the question of whether it shoul be so is sentiment. More ports (Plural) will open in Lagos because of strategic moves made a very long time ago. There is no reason why Ibaka should not happen.The questiion is who will pay for it? Many countries do not have ports.So this subterranean ethnic rivalry dressed up as clamour for port is needless, Niger and Chad do not have ports. With a properly designed rail and inland port a container should arrive anywhere in the country withing 24 hours 1 Like |

0monnak0da: It is absolutely about rivalry. Ethiopia depends entirely on neighboring countries for her imports and exports. With good rail system and inland container ports like you said, Nigeria doesn't need to construct a port at every coastal state. 1 Like |

Guestlander: Actually I like the idea of a port in Akwa Ibom because it has great potential up to Chad and Cameroou but we are talking huge investment and the money is not there. What is painful is the money was there under Akpabio but he chose to build a stadium. No doubt we enjoy the stadium but how many times a year do we use it. It was a misplaced priority Think of what Ibori culd have dne with the money he stole. He has returned and is being celebrated as a hero 2 Likes |

0monnak0da: I don't know how it is so hard for NLers to stop commenting on something they have no idea about. Akpabio could not continue the project because it was not granted a pass for it to proceed. It does not mean it would have not been completed since. Igbos believe that the afonja have played a role in the delay of its pass. Get your facts right please |

Kizxee: Despite the yearly allocation of several billions of naira for the construction of a proposed greenfield deep seaport at Ibaka in Akwa Ibom State by both the State Government and the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) since 2011, the project has remained elusive, with no evidence of a port being built at the proposed site. Akpabio budgets billions for this bridge every year with not even bush clearing or fence erected. Meaning Akpabio pockets free billions every year and the same scenario is what's going on now, the current governor is basically trying to collect his own share.. |
Re: 100 Companies Bid For Ibom Deep Sea Port Project by deomelllo: 9:16pm On Mar 04, 2018 |
Kizxee: While commending President Goodluck Jonathan for his initiative towards the project, Akpabio cautioned that there could be a revolution if the issue of youth unemployment is not seriously tackled. He added: “One of the greatest problems we would have in this country would be an implosion if we don’t take the right economic steps because of the millions of graduates who are churned out yearly. A time would come when there would be an internal revolution if we don’t take the right steps now. Part of what we should do is what we are doing now.” Responding on behalf of the Federal Government, the Managing Director of NPA, Alhaji Omar Suleiman, who described Chief Akpabio as “Infrastructure Governor” said the Federal Government was glad to partner with Akwa Ibom State government in Ibaka. He noted that the natural advantage of Ibaka and the excellent road network in Akwa Ibom State would provide the needed impetus for the project. Stop spreading tales, Akpabio was not only budgeting and pocketing money off Ibaka, the FG was never against the project, they actually supported Akwa Ibom to actualize the project so stop blaming the FG or your usual ignorant and unintelligent afonja nonsense. 2 Likes |

Why Ibaka deep seaport project was stalled If this port doesn't get built, it wont be because of the FG or the rubbish useless Igbos spew all over the place, but because if the state government in Akwa Ibom, both past and present.
