patriotic007:
Lagos has enough ports let there be more ports in other parts of the country especially the coastal parts

You can have as many ports as long as you can fund it.

Good news.

Good

oluwaseyi0:

Unfortunately the world especially Lagos can't stop moving because of the disaster of a president called Buhari

Only God knows how you sleep at night with this toxic hatred for your fellow human being and I think with this hatred, says a lot about your upbringing.

This is a project that had remained moribund since Fashola/ Yardua tenure because Lagos was in opposition but the man you hate Buhari is the one who made this project a reality.

God will not spare you or anyone with a heart such as yours or any heart filled with hatred. All these words will count against you some day. You will toil so hard for a project and they will still call you a disaster.

Not even Lucifer has this kind of hatred I see most of you display online yet you pretend to be godly people offline. Ha!! We from Lagos will forever remain grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for this gesture. Such project of this magnitude was killed by a Yoruba President , Olusegun Obasanjo, during Asiwaju Tinubu tenure. Go and read about Enron Power Project. May God bless President Buhari. May God bless Nigeria my fatherland.

Wonderfully developing the Yoruba Nation!

I cannot even see 100 milllion dollars in those pictures

All seaports are prioritize at Lagos State. Why not fund immediate construction of other seaports too in the south south or south east to distribute economic advantage.

Do those states not have governors?

This project is an initiative of Lagos State Government.
The government of SE and SS states can do same for their own people too.
Lagos state government was elected to look after the people of Lagos not SS and SE.

JesseJo:


Clown...so because of high death rate. All other sectors of the country should be shut down ...

And people like you will be insulting government...when you don't have anything in the head

Sectors don't have close down

Nigeria is progressing again. We are moving higher. Let's go. This kind of news I love to read.

Because anything that makes Lagos progress blinds you.
The hate is deep

Hope on delivery of the much-expected Lekki Deep Sea Port looks brighter as the construction of the $1.6 billion project reaches about 50 per cent completion.

The company said it has completed its 1,909m long core of the main breakwater while work on the quay wall and landside infrastructure has reached an advanced stage. The significant milestone of the completion of the core of the main breakwater was achieved on Thursday, April 29, 2021.

The Managing Director, Lekki Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited, Du Ruogang, disclosed this while briefing the Permanent Secretary, the Federal Ministry of Transportation, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, and other key stakeholders.

Ruogang assured that the construction would be completed as scheduled with a targeted commercial operation expected in the last quarter of 2022. He affirmed that the container terminal operator – Lekki Freeport Terminal, a subsidiary of CGM/CMA, is ready to commence operations once the construction is completed.

“We would like to appreciate the Federal Ministry of Transportation, Lagos State Government and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) as well as other stakeholders for the immense support towards the actualisation of the world-class seaport”, he said.

Ajani stated that it was heart-warming to note that the project was moving at a fast pace, assuring all the promoters and stakeholders that the Federal Government would play its part to ensure the smooth take-off of the port as scheduled.

Ajani noted that the progress of work since the initial visit of the ministry in November 2020, is impressive and that the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Transportation would work out modalities of rail connectivity to the port for easy evacuation and transfer of cargo to the different parts of the country.

She also promised to liaise with her counterpart at the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing on the issue of the road network at the corridor to prevent the issue of congestion.

Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, NPA, Hadiza Bala Usman, said that NPA will play its part to ensure that the timeline set for the delivery is achieved, adding that efforts are being made to facilitate the deployment of all necessary infrastructure needed before commercial operations begin.

“To meet the timeline for the Port, we would deploy the control tower as well as the BTS and GDMS which are critical infrastructure needed for the take-off of the port operations. In addition, we have to begin the construction of the administrative block”, Usman said.

The Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, NSC, Hassan Bello reaffirmed the significance of Lekki Port to the economic prosperity of Nigeria noting that when completed, the port would be transformational for the country, and indeed the West African maritime landscape.

Director-General, NIMASA, Bashir Jamoh reiterated the importance of railway connectivity to the project.

EKO ONI BAJE!

This is a welcomed development, but just like posters above me have said, it will definitely lead to more congestion, unless there are proper plans in place to counter it.

I hope they would also look into other regions port precisely the south east /south south Ports so as to diversify and decentralize too much concentration in one region which is the bane reason we are seeing so much congestion and gridlock in lagos ports area.

What are you even thinking? Do you know anything about the geography of your country? Why did you mention 'South east?'
Can you mention any part of the South east that has a Sea shoreline?Smh

Ask questions
That is how to think
Where is the money coming from?
Who is paying for this?
Why?
Why is that entity NOT doing as you suggest and funding a seaport elsewhere

Isn't that money too much for that construction?

Value for money...

It’s PRIVATE SECTOR-led and financed...
It’s not the usual government contract.

Why can't federal government construct see in South South or na only Lagos get access to Atlantic ocean

Keep electing fools to govern your states and come online ranting about Lagos state projects. This is purely and strategic Lagos State-private led project not FG. If you elect better governor not drunkards and inept leaders your future will be better and seized to be attached to SW/Lagos asylum seeking. [color=#770077][/color]

All these useless projects that only make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer

There are ongoing deep sea port projects in Warri and Bonny...
There are also state government port projects (just like Lekki) in Akwa Ibom and Cross River.

Meanwhile, there are other operating ports at Onne (2), Calabar, PH, Warri and Sapele...
However, the government does NOT decide where goods are imported, PRIVATE importers do.

christejames:
This is good...

I just hope the government has equally constructed or is constructing a standard road that will be designated only for articulated and heavy duty vehicles to ply while dispatching/conveying consignments and containers to and fro the port? Otherwise, this is Apapa port pro max in making

Exactly, Dangote Refinery inclusive. They will combine to mess up Lekki if your statement is not taken into account.

Kudos to the Tolaram group for such massive investment.
