The issue about port congestion have always been before the border closures. However you are right that this is just a mere way out, except a standard policy is put in place.
Because the question is what if the infrastructure in Lagos begin to accommodate the vessels will they go back to Lagos? If yes then this is a temporary measure.

Policies to sustain the Eastern Ports must be put in place and we look forward to that.

God bless Nigeria

Maxymilliano:
The move was borne out of necessity due to heavy congestion at the Port occasioned by the border closure, which compels most vessels designated for Lome or Cotonou en route Nigeria ab initio to redirect to Nigeria Ports.

This has caused sever backlogs, causing vessels to be held for several days.

Currently, it takes an average of 10 weeks for vessels to berth due to the congestions and additional 2 weeks for your containers to find its way out of the Port.

A good development, no doubt but I don't really see it as masterstroke, except you are probably still being spoonfed and have not really ventured into real business.

Let the money be judiciously used and keenly monitored for such purpose.

God bless Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria

Always Pessimistic and Sad about good news of development, I think it's only your village they will over take as that is your pitiable thinking[s][/s]

tiredoflife:
Preparing the country for the invited fulani to take over
No be who dey alive go use rail
When u are dead by the raiding of your village
Will u use rail
A new set of people would take over ur land
Rename it
And enjoy all Buhari is building for them
The new super race of Nigerians

Senior Bro Amaechi, I believe we from the South South even as you are our brother have not gain in terms of the rail system vision of the administration. Yes we commend you for the Ajaokuta to Delta Atakpe rail projects. But the Calabar to Lagos or even the PH, we really need to see actions. Let also the revival of the Ports in the South South be sustained as we're beginning to experience of recent.

May God continue to bless Nigeria.

She killed herself. Lack of emotional intelligence, when people can't control their emotions. What is happening about women in the north is funny, the other time it was a young lady who set herself ablaze for boyfriend issue. Now a married woman.

They seriously need orientation on emotional maturity and intelligence.

Senator Aberibe knows the lawful procedure. Let him constitutional initiate it than coming to say what in the Universe a President would not merely resign because he was ask to by one certain Lawmaker.

This is Childish.

Nigeria shall be great by the grace of God as he will keep President Buhari in good health to continue the good work.

May God strengthen the Minister Amaechi.

God bless Nigeria.

Good development from Cross Rivers State and wonderfully endorse by our dear and capable president Buhari who believes in operation feed yourself. No more completely depending on imported food always.

Good one. Nigeria must be great!!!

What is happening in the South East of recent concerning men killing their spouses should be a thing of concern. After the Onitsha incident in Anambra where a man threw hiss wife from a three story building is still fresh.

And now this, the lack of emotional intelligence rising among spouses should be given a special orientation by both religious and traditional leaders to stop this ugly rising trend.

Is this were our borrowed monies are going to? If so this project deserve the borrowing

Nice Job by the Nigeria Police for ensuring his arrest, people like this need to be executed ASAP. What an evil being.

Sorry,may be i would have said Buhari moved Maersk to Onne by his policies via NPA. Sorry oooooo Oga

TerraMessorem:
it seems you are not following this topic, maersk decided to move to onne not buhari

Thank you

AmuDimpka:
. You ended up saying nothing

My brother you are correct.

femeritus:
This is a welcome developmental stride that'll benefit everyone and every part of the country. No need to hate. Lagos economy will still be vibrant. The decongestion of the city of Lagos and ports is also a blessing. When the capital was moved from Lagos, people feared Lagos would collapse but the opposite is the case. Let other areas be developed too and that's how we can all develop. Your candle cannot light brighter by blowing other people's candles out.

I am proudly a South South indigene. Most of us and We don't do tribal sentiment because we are becoming majure and is working for us. So you are free to make your personal opinion.

Osagyefo98:
You just trying to accuse others of what your people were doing for ages.

Why bringing in tribal sentiment to this because it is uncalled for presently. One thing you must understand is that everything been done is One thing at a time. As I said before, no matter how we strive in life we can never be equal but certainly we would all be great in our own way. There are people who are doing it great without seaport and Co. Ask the Information Technologist

AmuDimpka:
Competition is when Enugu airport is functioning and we have port in East Southeast and by extension, Igboland has access to the Sea, Rivers, Water Ways to Atlantic Ocean but some ignorant Nigerians cannot learn the geography and history that is evident and factual on ground in southeast and Nigeria. They love to be ignorant despite facts in their land. What a people with Nigerians and Africans mentality of denial of facts as long as it massages their ego and wishful thinking.

Lets use a simple arithmetic to teach the ignorants in these forums that Igboland is not land locked. Fact one, IkwerreLand/Porharcourt and Porthhacourt seaport was dredged 40 to 50 Miles to sea from the Bonny River to Atlantic Ocean. Onne SeaPort in Ogoni land was dredged 50 to 60 Miles to Sea from Bonny River for Larger ships to Atlantic Ocean. Calabar Seaport is dredged 45 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean. Akwa Ibom Ibaka deep seaport is about 30 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean without dredging and the best seaport location in depth and width in Eastern Nigeria. Then open your dummy eyes and ears again.

If the Competition is about ensuring that both sides experience growth,then is Appreciative, but let us reject every competition that knock out one another. Let's all grow while competing. In life one person would always be greater than one but we all have to be great.

Ttipsy:
finally the disintegrated, blessed Eastern Region is coming alive again


Now let the competition start between the East and the West.
North should focus extensively on mechanized Agro business..

Kudos to Rivers,, oil and seaport will give Lagos a knock out..

this what we want.. that's why USA is massively developed and economically viable

President Buhari may God continue to strengthen and bless you to the perplexity of those who are not wishing Nigeria and you well.

Kudos to the Buhari administration for this great News and hope this would be sustained after his tenure come 2023 by God's grace.

My concern is majorly about his gullible followers whom he has succeeded in making them inciteful, disrespectful, chaotic, abusive, hateful, Scoffing and all worth not.

That's why no decent people or persons associates with them.

I am waiting for PDP and Co to organize another set of protest. Are they already tired of protesting so soon?

This is not only about Boko Haram and Fulani, but also about kidnappers, ritualist,arm robbers and cultists

mamaafrik:
Oya,we move,SE and NC,we need you to back this up with SW,NC must follow immediately to cut off the Fulani and Bokoharam menace and keep it to the NE and NW.

I am interested in the state Governors make the security outfit be back by law if they have not done so.

Whether Malami Reverse or Forward I will think about it

Just Two places dropped and some people are celebrating this. When you were told Nigeria have improved in the ease of doing business you said it is a lie. You choose to believe any report that seems negative to you and disbelieve that which seems positive.

Oya continue. Continue continue.

Are we Number one? No.

Just TWO place drop.

I see wisdom in your saying

OndoFirstBorn:
Another reason why they say, No permanent friends or enemies in politics, just permanent interests. I hope Nigerian youths will understand this and stop making enemies on and off social media because of these politicians because tomorrow is a mystery.

We also look forward to more ships calling at the Calabar port.

You are right bro, our governors need to work highly on this, because it has actually driven out investors

helinues:
Good move.

This is an opportunity for SS governors to work on the region security lapses.. Investors have been running from the region due to security threats

Trump, according to reports, did, however, not give clues to which countries might be affected in the new round of restriction.

With the above statement, I don't understand why some persons are just giving themselves headache for America that is Not Heaven.

Please help us publish the details policies here by the US government or the media houses not SPECULATIONS and media suggestions. For the report also mention that Trump never mentioned a specific country.

F117nighthawk:
You are calling a HARD FACT speculation, u think the US GOVERNMENT are as dull, unintelligent and clueless and lack direction like BUHARI GOVERNMENT, they know many things are not just right and BUHARI government is a joke,Insecurity issues like boko haram, kidnapping, herdsmen and bandits attack, almost on daily basis, no specific solution to all these problems, the clueless government continue to live in denial

What gain thou in tribalism narrative. He said when the details of the policies are out then they would react. You can't force them to react now because they don't act on SPECULATIONS.

funmike83:
They cant react, because the northern people have succeeded in drawing the country backward. Even if they react , us will not reverse their decision . we are all in it together now

All supporters of Gov. Hope Uzo are always matured and neat in appearance. Very educative in handling issue. Let them continue give the government wise advise.
