chino11: Its all talk until it is opened. |
Re: Dredging Of River Niger Will Soon Be Completed by chino11(m): 5:04pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
I don't think its mere talks, at least they have completed the port in Onitsha except for some portion of the River Niger which are at the final stages of dredge completion |

We need pictures like pictures for Asaba International Airport and Enugu International Airport. |
Re: Dredging Of River Niger Will Soon Be Completed by chino11(m): 6:10pm On Jul 24, 2011 |
Asaba airport is largely uncompleted and a major financial drain pipe for uduaghas and Iboris. Enugu airport is to the best of my knowledge nothing more than colonial airstrip. Its an insult to the psyche of Ndigbo to call that an international airport, that is if you have visited the airport. I, for one cannot make the typographical error of calling that an international airport |

chino11: I normally arrive in the East either through Port Harcourt, or go to Lagos and fly to Owerri. |

phantom: it would actually because they are dredging it. so if they drag deep enough, it should be able be float the biggest ships. Also they need to take the width of the river bank into account. Lets hope nigeria government does the right thing if not, it means it is only meant to small ships. but that aside, it would be linked to kogi as well for the north |

If only we can get it right the economies of the states along the Niger will benefit. It will also decongest the lagos port. |
Re: Dredging Of River Niger Will Soon Be Completed by docjuli(m): 8:48am On Jul 25, 2011 |
alj harem: That's correct. It could be used as a transhipment port (shipment of cargo to an intermediate destination and then from there to another destination) if not deep enough though. |

Mr. Manager, opening the Niger for traffic is not a destination but a journey. As you sit in your office rainfall is busy re-silting the place. That is why the much hyped provision of infrastructure is not an isolated procedure but must be done in conjunction with the private sector and in the interest of the people. The nature of that river is similar to clearing your farm of weeds then spending weeks looking for seeds to plant. Stand by for another multi-billion naira contract to do it all again. The maintenance of that river is a private thing. Good cart before horse. Enjoy the ride. |
