From JeffAmechi Agbodo, Onitsha

The Anambra State Shippers Association has called on the Federal Government to gazette Onitsha River-Port as final destination for container goods coming into the country.

This was just as the association commended the government for making Warri Seaport functional as wharf of final destination for cargo goods.

The President of the association, Mr. Emma Akpaka, made the call at the weekend, in Onitsha, while speaking with newsmen on the recent move by the association to adopt Warri wharf as destination for all its container goods.

He noted that Warri Port was cut off from cargo transportation for about 10 years on flimsy excuses, as if deposits of many natural resources in Nigeria were a divine mistake.

“When the news filtered in that it has opened for business, shippers doubted it until Julius Berger Services Nig. Ltd assembled importers/exporters on August 5 in Onitsha and August 6 in Nnewi, to confirm the good news.

“Another spice to the business in Warri wharf is that Julius Berger Services has floated vessels that carry containers from any location in the world to Warri Port at cheaper rate.

“Anambra shippers received this information with skepticism until Mr. Thilo Ackermann, the General Manager of the company, took enough time to convince shippers that the company ventured into shipping after a solid foundation that equally considered the reputation of the mother company.”

He said it was excitement galore as shippers in the state heaved a sigh of relief that henceforth, their containers will come through Warri Port faster and cheaper.

The shippers’ boss said his association decided to work in Warri Port because of its proximity to Onitsha and Nnewi, the commercial and industrial hubs of the South-East respectively.

However, he urged that the Customs and other relevant agencies should be transparent and avoid, “strange and frustrating rules that breed suspicion.”

laudate:


Onitsha river port is still waiting to be gazetted 3 years after it was completed? Chisos! What have your SE governors, your Senators and House of Reps members been doing about it? How many bills have been raised in the green and red chamber concerning this issue by your representatives? How many times has your Deputy Senate President Ekweremadu who is also from the SE, moved a motion concerning this port, on the floor of the house? Or those Senators and federal house of reps members do not realise their job is to make laws to benefit their communities? Or are they too busy playing ludo, draft and browsing women in Abuja to do something about the entire case? Or is Rotimi Amaechi the current Minister of Transport, simply disinterested in the status of Onitsha port? Tell us, o!
