There is a tremendous improvement as regards ship handling operations and an increase in ship traffic and revenue, such that over 200 vessels now berth in Delta Ports, Warri.

The development, brought about by a synergy among management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), security agencies and other critical stakeholders, has brought back increased economic activities in the oil-rich city.

Chairman of NPA Board of Directors, Mr Emmnauel Olajide Adesoye, who chaired a stakeholders’ forum after his second on-the-spot assessment tour of the facility during the week in Warri, commended the improvement he had seen after his last visit in November 2016.


“The purpose is to have an on-the-spot assessment of the progress we’ve made by this port since our last meeting in November 2016.


“The current challenge is about the issue of dredging the channels in the port, particularly the terminals.

“We’re already taking action concerning it. So, there’s no problem. No time frame, but we are on it,” the chairman noted.


He expressed satisfaction at the improved security situation in the waterways which, he enthused, has brought about more vessels berthing at the port.

“I’m impressed with the security situation in the port. No security and safety issue. No vandalism. This was not so the last time we came.

“The management has lived true to its word and you can see the degree of improvement that has happened here.

“The number of ships has increased significantly and revenue has gone up.


“That’s what happens when there’s unity among stakeholders, management and the communities,” he stated, why responding to security issues raised by shipping agents.

Port Manager, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Delta Ports, Warri, Mr S. O. Okeke, at the forum, affirmed that the progress made in the last two years stemmed from the Executive Order of May 18, 2017, issued by then acting President Yemi Osinbajo in respect of ease of doing business in seaports.

Okeke said Warri Port was experiencing enhanced environment for business to thrive after keying into the policy, adding that it has transformed Warri Port into a business hub, especially after the remedial dredging of the Escravos Channels.


He noted that other achievements on record due to the order included the replacement of the critical buoys, repossession of trailer park, leasing of the trailer park which is now a Load Bay for trucks, illumination of the entire port and the upcoming towage services.

According to him, documentation and payment processes have witnessed improvement through e-payment, and e-SEN and revenue invoicing management systems (RIMS), among others.

Speaking on behalf of the Managing Director of NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, Rufai Mohammed, stated that in recent times, only the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari has embarked on the dredging of the Warri terminals.


He said since the Federal Government was committed to improving the economic activities in the ports, more dredging is being carried out to encourage bigger vessels to berth in Warri Ports.

He, therefore, called on all stakeholders, especially host communities, to continue to maintain the peace for smooth operations in order to shore up economic activities.

Meanwhile, stakeholders from shipping firms such as Mr Sunny Iwuji and Akinwumi Akinyemi, called for more security to enable them to meet the global practice of 24 hours shipping activities as against the current 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. regime.


Stakeholders at the well-attended forum included Custom Area Controller (Edo/Delta), represented by Deputy Controller, Nnamdi Ebeatu, representatives of other security agencies, union leaders, management and staff of Delta Ports and captains of industries, among others.

Jonathan ought to be tied to the stake and flogged till his buttocks turns red.

He governed for almost 5 years and he didn’t deem it fit to improve the condition of Warri port.

He is a weak southerner, he is not worthy of that president position that was given to him on a platter of gold!

PMB at work, slow down.

Cool

200 vessels! definitely not in this Warri port that I work everyday

More real life pictures for confirmation. This government too de like lie upandan

Am not a fan of Jonathan but always do research before commenting on public forum. Buhari is continuing from where Jonathan stopped.
Between 2012 and 2014 Jonathan's govt constructed two large Ship Berthing point that can handle any size of ship with ancillary facilities. One was built by Julius Berger and the other by CCECC. I left Abj to run some contracts there back then. The contract really provided a lot of jobs back then, although the Chinese were paying peanuts. Dredging was the next thing on ground b4 Jonathan was removed.

Meanwhile the pic attached is not warri port but Lagos's.
I can confirm that the escravos bar has been partially dredged but the Port is not functioning like the media/Party members(who are management staff or fear of their job) are painting it. Doubters can call any of their friend in Delta State to verify.

hahaahahaha... lie lie government.

Government of the media

Nigeria is working only on media

God punish buhari and all our thiefing polilooters

Please spare me that bro, what is the usefulness of the Almajiri school to the north? How many of those schools achieved the goals?

We should call a spade a spade, Jonathan shouldn’t be a model when talking about good leaders.

He can improve the condition of Warri port and inturn build any almajiri school he wants, no excuse for failure.


He even used the Almajiri school to siphon funds coz why the bleep will 165 block of schools cost 15billion.

Loyalty towards Jonathan shouldn’t blind people to the fact that he failed. At least if he had improved the condition of Warri port, things would have been different.

It's true o

It took trillions in lost trade, hundreds of souls perishing under collapsed container trucks for port operarions to be liberalised. Story of Nigeria. It takes a tragedy and more to reset thinking and kill sentiment.

Well I will respect your opinion and you may have your reasons but we see world in a different way.

I’m a a Yoruba and I always detest Obasanjo coz he is also a useless southern president. Although he was the one that created most of the parastatals and configuration for the present republic, but he did not do much for the south.

You gotta give it to the northerners, no matter how far we try painting them as illiterates, they are wiser than the south in terms of politics. If you go to the north, they have some of the smoothest roads in Nigeria and electricity is top notch over there most times.

The northerners held most post in all federal government establishments all around the country. Go to Enugu, go to Ibadan, go to Rivers, you will always see that northerners head the fed govt agencies.

With this kind of configuration and Lilly livered southern president, the north will continue to take the south for a ride.

Some people will not see this now

The ships berthing in Warri port are mostly tankers. Product tankers and oilfield support vessels. No cargo ship berthing there to the best if my knowledge. I do most of my business in Escravos so this story of reaping benefits na scam.

That brings you to my point .The northerners are occupying all the position, and you are happy about it.Because if you are not, you would have been against it.So before you shut One Nigeria think very well. Obj has the opportunity to do the same to the whole South West, but he never did,he carries all Nigerians along.Jonathan the same. Here we have tribal president and you are happy with it.

Do you think I’m supporting Buhari? You have to clear that assumption from your mind.

Let me tell you something about Nigeria, we are not united and the first instinct of every individual among us is tribalism. But most times we tend to be politically correct so as not to sound too deep in it.

If people wanna defend Buhari too, they will say he renovated port harcourt airport, he is building the Ibadan-Lagos railway, and etc.

What I’m saying is that a southern president should be able to prioritize key infrastructure in the south and earmark it for development and part of those are the Niger bridge, Lagos-Ibadan railway, SS port in general East-West road, and so on.

The North no matter their party affiliation understood that tribal domination comes first, but the south always wants to be politically correct every time.

Mad people, is it the port that my office is close to or which of the Warri port,, U people let me waste my time to go and check the port this morning, Nothing joor, witchcraft people and lies, May God Help us in this Country
