Onitsha River Port has finally been concessioned. FEC approved the concession in Feb 2022, and on June 30, 2022, the concession contract was signed, in Abuja (“commercial close”).

Next step is financial close, and then formal commencement of the 30-year concession.

Concessionaire: Universal Elysium Consortium, led by Dr. George Nwangwu, lawyer, academic & expert on infra regulation & privatization

Concession model: Rehabilitate, Operate & Transfer (ROT)

Concession Period: 30 years

Onitsha Port: >12 Ha land; 324m wharf, expandable by 234m

You know why Onitsha River Port is so important ie why it has so much potential?

According to National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), 60% of the containers that arrive Nigeria through Tincan, Apapa & Onne Ports end up in the South East.

They mostly travel by road (trailers)

Nigeria has 4 River Ports:

Onitsha (Anambra)
Lokoja (Kogi)
Baro (Niger)
Oguta (Imo)

Onitsha Port is the first to be successfully concessioned.

@NigeriaGov says the remaining 3 will also be concessioned, and the lessons learnt from the Onitsha process will come in handy.

Monsurudeen, rest!

Good step if the concessionaires would be serious and sincere with the project.

The last I read about the concessionaire, it was owned by a northerner. I’m sure after the uproar it generated, they are now using a certain “Nwangwu” as front.

Not like I care if the concessionaire is Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba, I just wanna be sure it’s not a ploy to sign off that port to an enemy of Southeast who would render the port redundant for a whole 30 years.

Cheap advent just like nigeria Aircarrier

Nonsense and it's corresponding ingredients.

You just rushed to comment this tripe... To what end exactly?!!

Why does tribalism turn you people on so much?!? This is serious mental illness!

the private company provides funding for the port and collects fees for 30 years. After which FG takes over

Though i support Tinubu, i must say Thanks to Goodluck Jonathan and Peter Obi for making this a possibility. Peter obi is really visionary.

While Tinubu developed lekki and was hoping that dangote would build a refinery 20 years after, Peter obi already built a refinery in Anambra.

While hoping that a sea port will come to lekki 20 years later, Peter obi influenced onitsha river port.
