This is for people that are mixing up the Lekki Deep Sea Port and the Dangote Port.

The Lekki Port was conceived by the Lagos State Government decades ago and it is part of the Lagos Free Trade Zone project.

The Dangote Group wanted to import some components for their refinery, but they discovered that the components were too big for Apapa Port to handle, so they built their own port in Lekki. It is not far from the Lekki Deep Sea Port and I'll show you both ports on Google Maps.


The Lekki Deep Sea port is on the left of the first screenshot. It is just below the Kellogs Factory. The Dangote Port is on the extreme right of that same map.

The second screenshot is of the Lekki Deep Sea Port.

The third screenshot is of the Dangote Port.

NIGERIAN NAVY SHIP PROSPERITY RESCUES TWO GHANAIAN FISHERMEN

Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) PROSPERITY while on patrol about 10 nautical miles (nm) North East of Dangote Quay on 2 August 2022, sighted a man floating at sea on a yellow 20 litres gallon. Accordingly, the ship altered course towards the position of the man and successfully recovered him.

Subsequently, the rescued man revealed that a second person was involved. As such, the ship proceeded to the position of the second man and safely recovered him as well.

Further investigations revealed that the rescued men were Ghanaian fishermen residing at Takwa Bay, Lagos. They went fishing on Sunday 31 July 2022 but encountered a boat mishap at about 10pm same day. Sadly, 2 of them were said to have drowned before the remaining two were rescued by NNS PROSPERITY. The Nigerian Navy wishes to reiterate its commitment towards ensuring the security and safety of all seafarers in Nigeria’s maritime domain.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the general public. Thank you.

Onitsha River Port: concessioned

FEC Approval: New DeepSea Ports in Badagry,Akwa Ibom,Bonny,Warri

Completed: Kaduna Inland DryPort (IDP); Baro RiverPort

Nearing completion: Kano,Katsina, Plateau IDPs

All of these projects are variations on a PPP (Public Private Partnership) theme, by the way. Bringing together @NigeriaGov, State Governments and the private sector (local and foreign players).

Onitsha River Port has finally been concessioned. FEC approved the concession in Feb 2022, and on June 30, 2022, the concession contract was signed, in Abuja (“commercial close”).

Next step is financial close, and then formal commencement of the 30-year concession.

Concessionaire: Universal Elysium Consortium, led by Dr. George Nwangwu, lawyer, academic & expert on infra regulation & privatization

Concession model: Rehabilitate, Operate & Transfer (ROT)

Concession Period: 30 years

Onitsha Port: >12 Ha land; 324m wharf, expandable by 234m

You know why Onitsha River Port is so important ie why it has so much potential?

According to National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), 60% of the containers that arrive Nigeria through Tincan, Apapa & Onne Ports end up in the South East.

They mostly travel by road (trailers)

Nigeria has 4 River Ports:

Onitsha (Anambra)
Lokoja (Kogi)
Baro (Niger)
Oguta (Imo)

Onitsha Port is the first to be successfully concessioned.

@NigeriaGov says the remaining 3 will also be concessioned, and the lessons learnt from the Onitsha process will come in handy.
