NobleAky:
you answered yourself...that port is an FG property and before the State government can do something on it, it must obtain permit from the FG...which seems somehow impossible because of tribalistic politics

Armaggedon:
The city on the Niger!

NobleAky:
to even clean the waterways is a problem talk more of developing it. To renovate the overhead bridge that passed across it has been a problem for long.

omololu2020:
the federal government will rather build a port in warri,bayelsa or calabra,instead of onitsha...they might built it in the next 20years sha

Reyginus:
Okay. If this was to be a country of intellectuals we would have had running about three to five ports for now.

Onitsha (Igbo: Ọ̀nị̀chà Mmílí[4] or just Ọ̀nị̀chà)[5] is a city, a commercial, Industrial,educational, and religious centre and river port on the eastern bank of the Niger river in Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria.

Onitsha by 2001 had an estimated population of 511,000 with a metropolitan population of 1,003,000.[2]

The majority of people in Onitsha are Igbo and speak the Igbo language however significant communities from Northern and Western Nigeria live in the city. The Onitsha people like to be referred to as Ndi Onicha.
As a city lying strategically at the bridge between Eastern Nigeria and Western Nigeria, and between the densely settled Igbo hinterland and the oil-rich creeks of the Niger Delta, Onitsha is strategically positioned as a regional hub for trade and logistics in Eastern Nigeria.

You no see the pics? Abi you need travel out this once

NobleAky:
why do you think so?

NobleAky:
Sentiment aside, why don't FG do something about this Onitsha seaport? It could go a long way to generate employment, increase our revenue base and open doors for foreign investment which all in integration boost our GDP. Must we play politics with everything?

Aside that one Nairalander challenged guys

i take the challenge to win her E-love.

Abagworo:


YOUR REAL HATERS are the people who did all they could to stop the port even when you supported their incompetent brother as President. To make that port a reality needs unity with other Nigerians .

omololu2020:
cause states like kogi,edo,kwara,nassarawa,benue,niger etc will start asking for a river port too.
