Baro Inland water port is located at Baro, Agaie Local Government, Niger South Senatorial District, Niger State.

It became of paramount importance to successive Nigerian Governments to develop the port but all the efforts put in place since 1980s have proved abortive.

Late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua awarded the contract for dredging Baro port and expansion of river bank worth billions of Naira. The project was slow due to the nature of the then Government.

After the death of President Yar’adua, President Jonathan directed the Ministry of Finance to transfer N19 billion intervention funds for the dredging of the lower River Niger to the Ministry of the Niger Delta for shoreline protection and land reclamation. He also directed that the contract should be executed in four weeks.


The meeting, which was attended by governors from the Niger Delta states, also resolved that the most urgent requirements are land reclamation and shoreline protection, instead of dredging of the lower River Niger.

That was how the Baro Port project died naturally then.

When President Muhammadu Buhari came to power he promised to uplift Nigeria through economic revival. And we are seeing some signs that the economy is getting recognition. Baro Port should be seriously recognized and completed.


Several times, PMB did say he will make sure all the abandoned projects are completed and Baro port is one of great and vital projects to be completed in order to help government achieve it economic aims.

If Baro inland water port is completed it will create over two million jobs to the teeming youths. It will help with the decongestion of Lagos ports. Northern Nigeria is land-locked with no single sea port, however if Baro port is actualized transportation hiccups would be drastically reduced.

Revenue will increase and millions dollars in foreign exchange will also be saved. Even the agricultural revolution will get a massive boost.

Nonsense post, you are talking about Baru when Calabar port is idle.

No matter how you try, Bubu can not get any credit for his sins. Jonathan served the north to the detriment of his own people.

Bubu must go, we need a detribalized, religious tolerant and democratic leader. Your pay master has failed woefully

Wouldnt be surprised really the dredging of these rivers has never been a priority. I have look into this story. Buhari diverted cash for army barracks today. These nigerian leaders use money for what every they please. The only variable is how people react to it.

The foolish lie is making it look like he did it only in katsina. Again how does this change the fact he cancelled the Bari port and divert 9BN for a so called land reclamation. Again i wont glorify u with further response because you want to derail the topic to another thing. If it happen to be in the south, u guys will be talking of marginalization blabal. Talking us how Buhari hate u.

Yaradua a Northerner start the project, Jonathan a southerner cancelled it and divert the money to something else.


You have no sham. Shameless pigs.

It's just about 9 months to the 2019 elections, after a full four year term by this repugnant and grossly incompetent administration, and yet you're still telling me about what a certain Jonathan did "shortly after the death of President Yar Adua" (8 years ago! ).

For goodness sake who are these animals? What would be their campaign focus next year as an incumbent administration that has wasted four years? Would they tender their achievements (as all incumbents are expected to) or would they rather concentrate their campaign on blaming the outgone Jonathan administration?
