Yesterday, a vessel, MV LADY JANE with a Length overall of 295m and a draft of 12m berthed at the WACT Terminal, Onne Port. This has again proven the Authority’s readiness to consolidate on the growth of container vessel traffic in the Eastern Ports.

The vessel which sailed from Majuro in the Marshall Islands is discharging 840 TEUs and loading 1,060 TEUs 50% of which are agricultural commodities — Cashew nuts, Sesame seed, Cassia Tora seeds, etc.

This is coming on the heels of the reception at Onne Port of the first-ever export-laden barge containing 120 TEUs of Cocoa to Belgium via Cotonou earlier this year.

Although Onne Port has been traditionally known for Oil and Gas logistics, the implementation of fresh ideas by the @MohdBelloKoko administration had resulted in a 30% increase in container traffic at year-end, 2021.

This is a testament to the unwavering resolve of the Authority to promote non-oil exports and support the effort of the Federal Government at diversifying the economy.

NPA berths vessel at Onne Port, says complex becoming attractive for container traffic

Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) says it has successfully berthed a vessel, MV Lady Jane, at Onne Port Complex, Rivers state.

NPA said the effort is aimed at reviving activities and growing traffic in the eastern ports.

Mohammed Bello-Koko, managing director, NPA, said this at a recent media parley.

He was represented by Stanley Yitnoe, Onne port manager, at the event.

According to NPA, the vessel with an overall length of 295 metres and a draft of 12 metres berthed at the West African Container Terminal of the port on Wednesday.

The vessel, which sailed from Majuro in the Marshall Islands, discharged 840 TEUs and loaded 1,060 TEUs 50 per cent of which are agricultural commodities — Cashew nuts, Sesame seed, Cassia Tora seeds, etc.

Bello-Koko said vessels showed the commitment of the authority to repositioning the eastern ports toward productivity.

“What this milestone signpost is the fact the initiatives of the authority geared towards repositioning the eastern ports for productivity are yielding results and that Onne Port Complex is fast becoming an attraction for container vessel traffic. However, we cannot afford to rest on our laurels; we must continually strive to surpass stakeholders’ expectations,” he said.

He commended the sailors for the professionalism demonstrated in the safe berthing of the vessel.

Bello-Koko assured that the management would ensure full-scale rehabilitation of infrastructure, as well as improvement of port security through illumination and deployment of access control to check unauthorised entry.

When Bello-Koko took leadership of NPA this year, he had said reviving activities at the eastern ports was a top priority.

“We will not relent on our core mandate — trade facilitation; easing gridlock in the ports corridors, and encouraging the full utilisation of the Eastern Ports,” he had said.

A policeman has reportedly been shot dead in Isuofia Community in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra state.

Isuofia is the community of Governor Charles Soludo.

According to a source in the community, the gunmen stormed the junction where security operatives were stationed and opened fire.

The source said the gunmen were possibly angered by the idea of stationing a security post in the area.

“The hoodlums stormed the area, shooting non-stop, while residents scampered for safety. One policeman was killed in the process,” the source said.

The spokesman of the Anambra State Police command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed the attack but said no policeman killed.

The police spokesman also said the incident did not happen in the community but along the express.

He, however, said three police were wounded in the process and the operation was still ongoing.

He also said a vehicle was recovered with bloodstained showing that the hoodlum suffered casualty.

But the community sources insisted that the attack happened at Isuofia and a policeman was killed.

Gunmen have killed one policeman in an invasion of Isuofia community, the home town of Anambra Governor, Prof Charles Soludo.

The incident occurred at the junction leading to the Governor’s house where security operatives erected a post.

Angered by the idea of building security post at the junction, the hoodlums stormed the arena shooting non- stop, forcing residents to scamper for safety.

Soludo, The Nation gathered, travelled abroad to have a little rest before the gunmen struck on Friday morning.

Anambra police spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu did not pick his call but a senior Police Officer, who spoke with The Nation in confidence, confirmed it.

The source said only one policeman was killed by the gunmen and not three as being speculated.

Oshoala still Falcons captain, insists Waldrum

Johnny Edward
15 April 2022

Super Falcons coach, Randy Waldrum, has dispelled media reports (not in The PUNCH) that Barcelona Femini forward, Asisat Oshoala, has been stripped of the team’s captaincy, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The American insisted that there had been “no fallout” between him and Oshoala or any member of his backroom staff.

In Oshoala’s absence, Onome Ebi has captained the team in their last three games, fueling speculations that she may have been stripped of the armband.

“There are no issues with Asisat and I don’t know where the reports emanated from that she had been stripped of the team’s captaincy,” Waldrum told The PUNCH.

“Those reports are incorrect and not pleasant.

“She remains the captain of the team and whenever we decide otherwise the entire backroom staff will meet and agree on who takes the armband.

“Asisat is recovering well and you know when a talented player like her gets injured and is out for a significant period of time, it’s always difficult for them mentally and psychologically. But she is surrounded by a great club and good people who support her a lot from here. She knows she’s a big part of what we are doing here moving forward.”

Meanwhile, Oshoala is expected to resume full training with Barcelona next month ahead of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations billed for Morocco from July 2 to 23.

She is currently undergoing rehabilitation from the thigh injury she sustained while training with the Falcons in February prior to their WAFCON qualifying play-off against Ivory Coast.
