Nigerians rejoice as Onitsha RIVER port becomes functional after decades (photos/video)

Onitsha RIVER port has become functional after it was commissioned yesterday, October 6.



Videos and photos from the scene show containers being offloaded.



According to presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi: "The Plan is to move containers from Lagos & Onne Ports to Onitsha by barge. For now I believe what’s being done is testing. You need to do a pilot first, assess efficiency, do troubleshooting etc, before you roll out full operations. But if it works as planned it’s gon be a BFD!!"


^^^NOTE: 80% of all imported containerized cargo goes to major industries in the WEST (Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, etc) and the remaining 20% of all cargo goes to the NORTH, SE, SS, according to Hadiza Bala-Usman of the NPA. Lagos State has taken very heavy blows on behalf of Nigeria in terms of traffic and will be freer with the Apapa sea port rail line leading to Ibadan and Kano. Kudos to all those who have made Onitsha river port along the River Niger a reality after 40years. Next... #LekkiDeepSeaport grin

Develop the ports in ph, uyo, delta and calabar too.. We biafrans can't be depending on no man's land for our imports and later receive insults like as if the place is better than New York.

1. Second Niger Bridge
2. Onitsha port.

What remains now is the expansion of the Onitsha port, Lokoja, Baro and Oguta ports.

GEJ built and commissioned it.
It has been used before by the company building the second Niger Bridge

It was the construction of Second Niger Bridge that is holding it.

To get to Onitsha River Port from Onne Sea Port, you need to pass through the second Niger bridge and they are working on the bridge.

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.



1. None of your bogus and irrelevant links counter my assertion and the news article from 2011 that I posted stating clearly that the project was conceived under Shagari, Yaradua awarded the contract and started construction. Jonathan did not start the project, Yaradua awarded the contract and started the project.

2. Just like many abandoned and neglected projects PMB commissioned, it's always the same tired, meaningless and crooked excuse that it was finished by this and that, but it's always hard to explain to Nigerians why and how 16 years of PDP wasn't enough to build, commission and make a common river port active? Why? It's always GEJ did this and that everytime PMB commission projects.

3. Jona commissioned the same port back in 2012 and quickly abandon the project to rot away so you mean PMB traveled back in time to 2012 to take the project away from GEJ and left it dormant?

4. Since GEJ completed and commissioned the project back in 2012, how come we didn't see barges with containers floating up and down that river?

5. There's nothing different about that port, it was the same in 2012, 2013 and 2015 so what stopped GEJ and 16 years of PDP from making that port functional?


You people embarrass yourselves with your weak and illogical excuses, you are not even doing GEJ any favor with your excuse and defence, you make him look bad and incompetent.

https://www.tekedia.com/maersk-refutes-claims-that-onitsha-inland-port-is-fully-operational/

Again my folks living in Onitsha say there has been no time there was a test run of the Onitsha sea port at a point they had to go and check and the port has always been empty. This is government propaganda.

So, jona commission the river port in 2012 and he quickly abandon it and let it rot and decay till he left office, right?

Why was it not operational in the same 2012, 2014 and even in 2015 before Nigerians kicked him out?

Of what relevance was the commissioned port if it can not do what it's supposed to do or if it can not benefit the people:?

You people are not doing jona any favors with your convicting and indicting defense and support, you are even making jona look bad, horrible and incompetent.
