There are 4 Ports in Niger Delta. Rivers Port, Onne Port, Delta Port, Calabar Port. Those are the Seaorts in the Niger Delta.

Lagos is not responsible for your misfortune, neither is the SS responsible. Face your ancestors who deprived you of access to the sea.

I repeat are this ports under the supervision of the state government or federal government?

Rivers Port, Onne Port, Delta Port, Calabar Port. Those are the Seaorts in the Niger Delta.

Jonathan was President for 6 years and his own community didn't even have drinking water. No be juju be that?

What are the State Governments in Delta and Bayelsa doing? Those two are notoriously stunted in development.

Each Niger delta state with access to the ocean should have a seaport. The onne seaport in an inland port and has been strategically crippled to encourage importers to use the lagos port instead. Yes, the state governments and NDDC have not done enough but that is not my focus now. I am more interested in the role the FG is playing now. One of the problems with the Niger delta is that the federal government appointees who make decisions over the Niger delta region are not indigenous to the niger delta. E.g the down stream, middle stream and upstream oil sectors are being headed by northerners hence no implementation of policies that help the people. Only the government all all level benefit

I agree

Glitcher:
state governments cannot fund such projects due to the cost in relation to their allocation. In addition it is the role of FG to build seaports and roads linking states. GEJ is the closest Nigeria has had to a non tribalistic president. The Niger deltan's deserve and need more.

Why are you easterners choose to be stupid and Ignorant to push your stupid VICTIM MENTALITY!

THE NEW LEKKI DEEP SEA PORT IS OWNED BY THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT AND TOLERAM NOT FG.

You people will continue to be backwards until you realize YORUBAS and FULANIS are not really your problem but your GOVERNORS AND POLITICAL ELITES.
Bayelsa with just 8LG not up to 11LG in Ibadan city alone receives the highest allocation in the country yet remain very underdeveloped even after their son was the president for 6yrs,are the yorubas and fulani are responsible for that too

WHAT PAINS ME IS THAT SOME MUMU FROM THAT REGION WILL READ YOUR MISCHIEVOUS FALSE CLAIMS AND CHOOSE TO REINFORCE THEIR VICTIM MENTALITY WITH IT.

sonnie10:
If you have never driven to Calabar, you won’t understand how insensitive and wasteful this project is.
There is an existing road from calabar to Ikot ekpene which is a death trap now. It takes almost 3-4 hour to drive the whole distance. A journey that used to be 45 mins maximum. In fact, In the early 80s that road , a federal road was well maintained and nick named “uyo by Air” because of how cars were speeding on that road. Why do they need another expensive road when the old one cannot even be repaired.
From the Ikot ekpene end to Aba was another 20 mins., Then to Owerri before you drive straight to Onitsha. In all it took just 3- 4 hours then. Onitsha to Lagos through Benin express is less than 6 hour
We have not forgotten about the much awaited super highway from Benue through Ogoja to Calabar which is yet to see the light of the day . This was Buharis campaign promise to the people of Cross River State. Till today nothing.
And here we go again. If they serious about this coastal highway, why not start it from the Calabar end? Or even from both ends to be fair,

This road is only for Lagos and the SW, it wont get past Ondo state before the end of this administration and the next one will abandon it. that's why you see yoruba monikers seem to be the only ones supporting it. They know what they're doing. The last time I travelled to Calabar, I wept for the state of that Ikot Ekpene to Calabar road. We had to follow the roads inside farms because the main roads were so bad.
What happened to them maintaining the existing roads, and using this 15 trillion to fix the power infrastructure of this country?

baretalk:

State governors earn enough and has enough capacity to attract investors to build ports, but their lazy criminal heads rather think of how to steal public funds.

Calculate how much state government loot you will know that they can build 4 ports within 4 years if they want. Building ports is not rocket science.

Till date Akwa ibom is still seeking the support of the FG for the full implementation of the ibom deep seaport.

Without the FG approval and every other documentations there's nothing the state government can do when it comes to seaports, it's under the exclusive list

Look at this shameless liar @ the Bolded.

Jonathan who is the biggest federal figure from Niger Delta is not indigenous to the Niger Delta, abi?
You lack knowledge of what you are talking about. You are just regurgitating the nonsense your parents fed you with.

Each Niger Delta State should build a seaport. Lagos did it, why can't they?

Firstly,

The minister said the demolition will go on despite claims of Landmark CEO, citing job loss and business deactivation while he stressed that the owner was making a lot of noise despite knowing that his structure was not affected.

Then,

Before the flag-off of the Landmark’s demolition, I graciously increased the period by another seven days and yet another four days, and here we are because the project stopped because of a lack of demolition.”

Who be the thief and who be the owner??

There's an already-existing road from Lagos to Calabar. What prevents your government from fixing that road instead of wasting billions of dollars on a new road? These monies would've been put to better use fixing the power infrastructure of this country, and I'm sure you know power is one of the crucial factors necessary for industrialization of any country

How? For 700km one would drive from a refinery to a stare where there is a depot. Do you see how senseless this thing is. A state with a depot and a port that has not received cargo in 25 years that is in need to rehabilitation and expansion. Do you see the deceit here by the FG?

Glitcher:
The onne port is an inland port with all its limitations. Check the map of ports in west Africa, you will notice how the frequency of ports stops at Lagos. The NDDC and state government do not have the capacity to carry out some kind of projects due to the difference in cost and allocation. In addition it is the responsibility of the FG to build interstate roads and seaports. The Niger delta states have benefitted less than 1% of the wealth they have given the nation. Their underdevelopment may be a strategy to keep the place uninhabited due to pollution by the oil companies. The issue of destroying the natural environment is another issue. They have found oil in the north but they are not pumping the oil out, you know why? Because they know how it can damage their environment. So much is given by the Oil producing companies and little is given back. The oil producing communities are just foolish.

@ the bolded, they're the most foolish people in this country. My uncle has an oil servicing company in port harcort and, back then when I used to follow him to field work, I cry for those people. Their lands and waters are rendered useless due to spills and the oil companies settle a few top members of the community, and employ their other people on manual labor, security or cleaning jobs, and these people just go with that.
Absolutely disgusting

It is not viable. Does it make sense to link a state with a refinery to a state with a depot that is 700km away? That state with a depot has a port that has not received cargo in 25 years that is in need of expansion and rehabilitation. It is even more economical yo move those products from the refinery via the sea to calabar in less that 2 hours that through the so called coastal road.

Had it been one president had done this, Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway wouldn't have been a death trap by now, ordinary international airport no dey despite having a good number companies and tertiary institutions in it if not the highest.

How did china achieve this unprecedented growth, asked a journalist.

The growth is all connected to road-building. To grow a country, one must first connect every nook and cranny of the nation.

Road projects that make economic sense. If it was China they would thrash his road project idea because ot makes no economic to spend that huge funds whereas on the course of the road all the ports are there in need of expansion and rehabilitation. They would rather use the funds to modernise the hinterland roads to link all the ports littered all over the south.
