oyoirabor:Senseless question. People can't wake up and start building even houses without government permit/approval? Did any SS billionaire seek for approval to build ports and was refused by the FG? Did not some governments or private people build airports in the East? 2 Likes |

The fact is that there are more to why Port Harcourt and Calabar ports are not working than the nonpolitical and nonethnicized minds can see. In Development theory, everything that aids development matters, regardless of who owns what. |

The seaport will form part of an integrated industrial city to help foster economic development of the country as transportation is key to national development”. “The seaport is near the South-South and South-East regions and will drive the economic transformation and empowerment of Nigerians with a multiplier effect that will create massive employment for the country’s teeming population. It’s circle of economic influence is expected to extend radially to the North Central, North Eastern and North Western zones”.

PrecisionFx: Please name the 6 seaports in the eastern Nigeria like you said earlier. Do you think crude oil is being exported from the ports? They have loading terminals where the barges load for exportation. Even at that the forcadod terminal was vandalized earlier this year. Which resulted to huge drop in production. Militancy and vandalization of oil made companies like shell concentrate more on offshore production.... I am still waiting for your list of 6 Eastern sea ports 2 Likes |

bamidek: IDSP has an outstanding statistics bigger than Lagos port. The 16+ metre Bert depth will provide great buoyancy to most heavy cargo vessels. I believe the FG will remove the bottle neck that have prevented the use of South Eastern shorelines for shipment aside oil and gas cargos. No doubt PH and Warri sea ports have low draught aside Onne, but Brass has a natural deep sea port that requires little or no dredging to function. Also there is an abandoned deep sea port somewhere in Cross River state, I think Bakassi region. The truth is that FG designated the sea ports in this region for handling only Oil and Gas related cargos and there is a white paper on that. It's a deliberate action. |

chimjoshjuan:"You can ship your goods directly from Kaduna to any part of the world and you can also import goods from any part of the world directly to Kaduna without your containers or any of your goods being opened up for inspection in Lagos". ~~ El-Rufai my opinion: The northerners can now easily import tramadol and codeine to feed their Useless children suffering from addiction. They can now easily import weapons straight to kaduna, because, although cargo will come in through Apapa/Tincan, but Apapa/TinCan have no right to open any container heading to Kaduna. Thats the thing 1 Like 1 Share |

I realise that many people here do not understand what it takes for ports to survive. The major incentive is patronage, followed by facilities. No carrier will call a port without sufficient inducement and this can only come if shippers/receivers demand , and are able to pay, for that call. In the absence of such scenario, the carrier will consolidate shipments and make a single call from where receivers can effect lastmile delivery to their preferred destinations. For obvious reasons, the carrier will also take security of vessel, cargo amd crew into consideration. In the case of Inland ports, all the Nigerien/other upcountry users need to do is to demand a service that connects to the inland terminals and pay accordingly. This service provides that shipments will undergo customs formalities at the inland ports. It is not rocket science . The pedestrian politics on this forum is sickening. 2 Likes |

alphaNomega:cargo heading for Kaduna port, wil come in via Apapa or TinCan, no custom officer has d right to open it. it wil be hauled from Lagos port to kaduna via rail. Then, customs in Kaduna can open, see the codeine and tramadol importer for the northern youths consumption, turn a blind eye, lock container, issue examination papers, clear the container for release I av always said that, the secret of this country is in the hands of the North.

divineappo:Apapa/Tincan have every right to open all cargos coming through its ports. We shall open and inspect every single thing. So you think you can import guns and bombs to come and use to attack Lagos under your useless cover of Boko Haram and we will be looking at you like fools. By the way going forward the head of customs must be Lagosian. If it was another tribe they will not let a non indegene close to leadership of their ports since other miscreants are so jealous of our resources. It’s time Lagosians stand up and fight for their resources and assets. |
