INLAND Container Nigeria Limited (ICNL); operators of Kaduna Inland Dry Port (KIDP) has expressed its confidence and competence to run the Onitsha River Port.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos recently, Managing Director of ICNL; Mr. Yusuf Ismail, said that the company has tendered its bidding for the concessioning of the Onitsha River Port, even as he expressed confidence that the company has what it takes to operate the port.

Ismail also said that as the first successful ICD operator in Nigeria, other operators of ICDs in all the geo-political zones of Nigeria have been coming to his company for advice on how to run ICD projects. According to him, one of the companies is the Edo Inland Container Depot. We participated in the bidding for concession of Onitsha River Port which we are waiting for the result. So any time from now the Federal Government will announce the winner. If we are lucky to win it, we are going to run the Onitsha River port too. What is the difference between the seaport and the dry port?”

Speaking further on the operation of river ports in Nigeria, he said “if government wants it functional, they will call investors to come and invest in them and give them the guidelines. They should put policies in place and there should be a regulatory body that will make sure it works. So that is how it is going to work.

“Everything lies in government hands. Even the port we are looking at here in Apapa, Tin-Can and everywhere; if government wants it to work, it will work.

It wasn’t like this in the early 1990s and early 2000 before the ports were handed over to private investors,” he added.

That time, it took us 30, 40 days to take containers out of the port. But when the private investors came onboard, things changed for the better”, he added.

Bring back or kill it completely?

I hope they can do it.

If he does win I hope nobody calls it northanization or secret plan to import weapons. Lol paranoid conspiracies and chest bearing taughts loading. The author should've asked for specifics on what policies he would like.

vagabon go to ur north, we want nothing more with you.

Hope I'm not the only one that read this line.

It is dangerous handing that port over to a northerner. This is where the voice of Ohaneze Ndigbo is needed.

Lol you chest beaters are always entertaining. You can't stop him if he won concession and you wont suddendly ignore port. Why not let him come do business if you guys go north to business? I guess logical consistency isnt a virtue with your type. Just hope some other bidder wins the concession.

Lol sensless chhest beaters always reek of hypocrisy. Simple questions you guys run away from. Oh well at least you guys are good for a good laugh if nothing else.

Nice one, the North wants to help Igbo's develop their land.

we don't need any hausa fulani over here
all their actions are suspicious and full of failure

super eagles is a good example

They should go and run their Kaduna inland port. These people want to systematically kill the Onitsha project from the inside

Lol you chest beaters refuse to make sense. Whats bigoted about laughing at internet tough guys. You dont want the man to manage river port because you simply dislike northerners. I noticed none of you clowns can point to specific reason why he shouldn't get it besides being a northerner. The hypocrisy is hillarious.

The River port is a federal government property. And as such any competent company irespective of the tribe of the Directors.

It's even better that it will be a neutral person so that there won't be any bias in dealing with importers.

If not you people will soon come back to tell us that the Igbo concessionaire favours only his village people at the expense of other Igbos

If his company wins the bid kill yourself
