The Federal Government has declared
Kaduna Inland Container Depot a port
of origin and final destination to
extend shipping services to
hinterlands and landlocked areas to
decongest the ports. Notice of the declaration is contained
in a statement signed by Mr Ignatius
Nweke, the Deputy Director, Public
Relations of the Nigerian Shippers’
Council, made available to newsmen
on Friday in Lagos. According to the statement, the
declaration is contained in a
government gazette No 60 Vol. 102 of
May 26, 2015, entitled ‘Kaduna Dry
Port Declaration Order, 15′. The NSC said, “It is expected that the
Kaduna Inland Dry Port will have the
status of international port, including
customs, immigration, port health
officials, as well as government
security agencies.’’ The statement noted that the gazette,
which was signed by the former
Minister of Transport, Senator Idris
Umar, had now upgraded the Inland
Container Nigeria Limited Bonded
Terminal, Kaduna, to the status of dry port of origin and final destination. It added, “The gazette indicated that
the newly-designated port with the
capacity to handle 29,000 containers
per annum shall be a customs port. “This is in accordance with the
provisions of the Customs and Excise
Management Act, Cap. C 45 Laws of the
Federation of Nigeria, 2014.” The News Agency of Nigeria reports
that the Inland Container Depots and
Container Freight Stations were
initiated by the NSC to bring shipping
services to the hinterlands and
landlocked neighbouring countries in order to decongest the ports

You know these braindead people dont read anything but the title, which is why its a big propaganda tactic to twist headlines to give them the 'News' they want. If this was something that they consider Good for them, THEY WOULD HAVE SPOTTED THAT PART AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHOWERING JONATHAN WITH PRAISES.

A dry port or Inland Container Terminal is established to ease pressure on the coastal ports. It will in no way starve the present ports of patronage. Instead, it will improve service delivery and facilitate export trade as goods are stuffed into containers to avoid double handling and railed to coastal ports thereby reducing pressure on road traffic with the attendant hazards. The goods consigned to or from such destinations will end up or originate from such destinations anyway .

There is no adverse effect on duty collection or port charges and employment opportunity. The only reduction could be on the rent on dwell time or demurrage for containers which in itself is due to the delays in the cargo delivery process. Importers just add such cost to the shelf price. zzz Faster cargo delivery means less reception costs which ordinarily should result in lower shelf prices .

Basically, the inland ports improve trade and may not necessarily increase volume of business passing through the coastal ports but this could change If neighbouring landlocked countries decide to patronise Nigerian ports and consign their trade to destinations closer to them as planned for Funtua, Kano etc.

For obvious reasons, a rail line is required. If you think Warri , Calabar or the proposed Ibaka port will lose out, you have no case. I suspect this is the reason for your hallucinations.

U tink we all fulls here on NL, d only port dat is de-congested is dat of Apapa, why not utilize d oda coastal port to d optimal level cum point before u talk of a land port.
From ur first statement, u shot urself, u can't give any silly excuses for dis thrash becos d water ways(akwa ibom cum bayelsa etc) re still under-utilized. Even In lagos, can't dey dredge d water ways and move tinz to Badagry?

We talk about Nigeria not you.Let the right and best things be done in this country.

nduchucks:
May I suggest that folks try not to tribalize this issue please?

Locating a dry port in Kaduna, a centrally located city with proximity to Agric export corporations, make a lot of sense. As we move towards aggressive exportation of agricultural products, exporters will have the opportunity to deliver their goods to the dry port in Kaduna instead of trucking them all the way to Lagos.

All the customs work would be performed in Kaduna freeing up Lagos ports and others to focus on products from the southern part of Nigeria. Similarly goods bound to the northern part of the country will not need to be processed in Lagos or other ports, but would be transported directly to the dry port in Kaduna for customs processing.

This makes economic sense whichever way you look at it. We'll see decongestion in the southern ports, especially Lagos, and an improved efficiency in the entire system.

You as really spinning today . And what I'd the right thing? Are you aware that these facilities have been planned and service at various stages of developent in Funtua , Aba , Jo's, Kaduna, Kano, and there are many inland terminals in and around Lagos? Those in Kano and Kaduna have been in operation in one form or the other since the early eighties. And that those in Lagos were established to ease pressure on existing facilities ? The collapse sad of ther railway is the major obstacle., If you must know. This is economics not politics. Terminals could be located anywhere provided the figures are right.



You guys just have your heads literally in the well and come up for fresh air to broadcast your ignorance here . You should be more resourceful and get your facts. Spend more time in that direction and not on your three inch android screen cutting , pasting and mouthing jaded ideas and cliche ty from equally inept people.

Without more investments in rail transport this will be a waste.

Besides Onitsha that harbours the largest market in West Africa and with the largest share of imported goods after Lagos should have a port if they are truly serious about decongesting Lagos rather than political gimmickry.
