I don't want to sound negative.
Just watch how FG will flood there with Custom Officers, Navy, Police that will tend to frustrate importers and activities there.
At the end, that place will be abandoned and importers will be forced to continue using ports in the West.

Are you guys not ashamed? Your brothers and sisters in the entire SE can't generate IGRs that even measure up to Ogun state's igr only despite the usual loudmouthing and chestbeating. But here you're dragging with a yoruba man about how you guys are the one responsible for Ogun state's higher igr than the entire SE. Se won se pe fun E ni?

Not yet Uhuru, this scam Govt can do anything for camera just to claim they are working in the SE.

For avoidance of doubt, this is not the first time, barges bring in containers to the mini port. Julius Berger used that water to transport all the materials they used in building their camp near River Niger as well as . materials for the bridge. So if Ministry of transportation is test running barge movement of containers, it should not be termed "pioneer"

Again, that River Port was built by GEJ but abandoned by Buhari until now, don't be surprised it will be left after this camera propaganda
Hmmm I thought as much

I thought you guys said you are tired of developing Lagos and want to go back home to develop your region.


If you have properties in Lagos and list it all for sale, I am sure you will find buyers

Sell your properties in Lagos and move back to Onitsha.
Like you can afford to buy their properties. Rubbish

Take a look at this statement

In his statement, the former National Auditor of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) declared that making Nigeria's waterways navigable is key to reducing the pressure on our roads as most of the containers can be moved to their destinations safely by water.

"if our waterways are navigable and open, we can go by water, not by road. It is this aspect that drew my attention to the fact that the pressure we have on our road today can very well be avoided. For example, if 1,000 containers are coming from Apapa port and if half or even 70 per cent is going to end in the Southeast- Onitsha, Aba, or what have you — what that means is that 500 or 700 trailers will be on the road"


So it means 50% to 70% of imports goes to the East!!!

GEJ conceived and brought these ports to life. Buhari came in and abandoned them all these while. Thank God its now operational. Thanks to NOI & GEJ.




Onitsha river port – at last! ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2011



Work on this port was resumed in earnest on December 12, 2009 under the President Umaru Yar’ Adua regime with an award of contract valued at N4.182 billion to Inter-Bau Construction Ltd to ensure the installation of all facilities and equipment necessary for harbour operations. According to the minister, “with the speed with which the contractor is working on the project, it is expected that will be completed in a few weeks.

The completion of this project was one of the campaign promises made to Nigerians by Mr. President during his presidential campaign. We will invite him to come and see things for himself.” This comes as cheering news given the sad history of this project. It was established over 30 years ago under the regime of President Shehu Shagari.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/onitsha-river-port-at-last/


This news article is from 2011, the project was initiated 30 years ago under Shagari Administration, Yaradua awarded the contract and construction started in under Yaradua.

Read the news, educate yourself and stop embarrassing yourself with lies and misinformation.4

i still don't understand what was so difficult about infrastructures and similar projects all over the country that previous administrations abandoned for decades when money was flowing all over the place, when we did not have to borrow 1 kobo to do anything. Why?

What was so difficult about building and commissioning ordinary river port that it must be abandoned and remain unproductive for decades.

Why is it that PMB with little money is the only president commissioning projects, completing projects that past administrations abandoned for decades. Why?.

And the same useless, lazy, incompetent looting and stealing people want to come back. For what? To abandon more projects and send us back for decades. ?

Please argue with facts next time. That port was visible for all to see from the river Niger bridge. It was completed. Buhari left it dormant just to take glory for what was completed.

Buhari keep giving some people reasons to swallow their own bitter pills. Politicians from the South East especially those from PDP extraction invented a propaganda using the Fulani Hersdmen and how Buhari hates the region and then sold it to almost everyone in the region. They all foolishly bought it and are spreading it across board while the politicians keep cashing in. Buhari has repeatedly showed that he hates not the South East through the construction of many projects. I usually challenge anyone to tell me at least 3 projects the Goodluck Jonathan (that doesn't hate the South East) administration completed in the South East in his 6 years as president and I'll tell you the 5 Buhari has done in 5 years.

Okay tell us five projects Buhari completed?

For Goodness sake, That place in Onitsha is not a seaport ooo, its a "Bonded Terminal".

No ship goes there, besides, a badge has been moving containers there for months, a new company just began their own badge operations, govt decided to glory over it by calling it a seaport and illiterates are celebrating

The Onitsha port have been completed and functioning before Buhari came to power.

It was the 2nd Niger bridge project that stopped it from working because the water was divided and blocked by the contractors
