The project is 100% being funded by China development bank

Oops! I thought it was being funded 100% by IPOB development bank.

Echoban:
He initiated the port from his wealth of knowledge. I don't think it's bad if he's company manage the tax collection.

Same way Eko Atlantic was initiated.

You go start your Oduduwa Republic noise once Tinubu fail in his quest to be president, which you will witness soon Mark my post

if nigeria is not a stupid country - why concentrate evrything in Lagos ? why not develop warri port, sapele port to receive goods meant for EDO DELTA REGION? that is why the roads are bad because the pressure from trailers moving things from lagos to benin warri and asaba is causing accidents on the highway and damaging the low quality roads RCC is constructing everywhere

If not for nepotism at the centre, why will everyone wants to live in Lagos? When there are other viable coastal states in Nigeria. The land mass of Lagos state is too small to accommodate everyone. Greed by political leaders won't let other regions develop. Go to foreign countries and see large numbers of well developed cities present there, but over here it's either Abuja or Lagos which are fully developed by the federal government because of politics. The funny thing is that those who keep disturbing nairaland about Lagos development are not even from Lagos state. To really have a bigger picture of this matter, just take a look at Nigeria's map and compare the location of Lagos state to the rest of the country then you will know how messed up things are really done to the advancement of a better Nigeria especially in all inclusive developmental spread.

Somie mentioned that it was a private project

But in addition
Yes it's a private project, but it's with the approval of the FG.

Why can't this kind of project be done in other parts of the country with waterways? With FG giving the kind of support it has given this one to same projects

Because the Chinese can't invest without the support of the FG

Lagos is congested

Tincan and Apapa wharfs are becoming obsolete
Now lekki in same congested Lagos


What's going on with ibaka deep sea Port

I am also happy Amaechi mentioned Bonny sea Port

relying on Lagos ain't good for all round development

I believe South South leaders should really think outside the box honestly.
They should get the support of the government

Then private investors can easily come in

We can't have everything in Lagos

Other parts should come up with something

It all boils down to the kind of leadership we have.

Leadership that doesn't think

Why should everything be clustered in Lagos?

Like I said

South South leaders should seriously think

tollyboy5:
I didn't even read anything. Make the port just start work that's all.
The government promised imota rice mill will start functioning this month we never hear anything yet.

All i want to see are result not motivational speeches

I can understand your impatience. But dont come across as someone who isnt happy about this news. The project has been in the news for years as expected of such a huge project but this news is just about the ministers visit where he was assured the project will commence operations by September and surely it will because this is a privately funded project and investors wont waste time recouping their money.

so that it will fall to the hands of the likes of Abba Kayr

This one can’t even think outside the box…everything na tax

Very true, you made a great point. It's the federal government that usually have the final say in project setups. It's unfortunate the southern leaders are not as motivated as northern and south westerners in attracting projects to their zones. Lagos state is too small to have everything, it's that same greed that is making politicans from that zone to still be thinking of getting to the post of the president of Nigeria. When they get the presidency, they won't stop there, they will go ahead to collect everything in the country. One is being judged by the way he/she runs things. Finally, the joining together of northern and southern Nigeria is the main cause of all these, because one region is working assiduously to ensure the remaining other zones in the south are being divided. This result in situation where members of the divided zones try to backstab the other to get favours from the instigator of the division. If regions were allowed to managed themselves, it will result in positive competition amongst the regions and no room for feeding bottle system of government that encourages greed, looting, injustice and crises.

You have some good and valid point but you're wrong claiming the FG is only committed to developing Abuja and Lagos.
That is only true in the case of Abuja.
The FG had completely abandoned and neglected Lagos for Abuja till Tinubu took over in 1999.

Lagos administrators are developing Lagos 100%. They concieve the ideas, do all the feasibility research, produce project viability reports and then seek the approval of the FG and requisite partnership in certain areas of project development.

Other States can do more without indolently waiting for the FG to innovate ideas for them. Lagos success is a big advert for continious competent administration no other State seem to have been able to replicate since 1999.

This is why some of us are fans of holistic restructuring, leading States and regions to have more autonomy, so no State can continue hiding under the FG Umbrella.

That restructured Nigeria will mean exemplarily-led States like Lagos do not continue to be the dumping ground of Nigerians from States made moribund and unproductive by misrule and cluenessness.

Nigerians will have to start holding their leaders to account, at State and regional level, or suffer the consequences.

But honestly these Southern leaders should wake up

Don't they even think?

Is it that they are not thinking of the betterment of there people?

In as much as we castigate South West and the North, at least there leaders think about there people
It may not be much, but to some extent

But South South is horrible

Then South East leaders are the worst of the pack

Developers will soon flood the thread to claim they own the project.

You should be worried about the eternal 45 year when you will be dead before the benefits than attacking the Igbos. Besides, you Don't even know the private developer.

Nice.....I like the fact that it's privately funded, "our oyel people" can atleast stfu and the major beneficiary of the taxes should be the Lagos State government.

"Our oil people" are so annoying with their wack mentality.

You don't need to get pained because I revealed your trademark, illiterate. I know where u are heading to with that statement, petty comparison and empty chest beating like you have always been doing here. Foolish "childult"!

Dsalvo:
To be honest, I feel sorry for them. A people who are highly troubled and should be holding their worthless leaders to account urgently would rather spend all day dragging others unproductively. Sad.

@ topic.

Very exciting project. Stubborn and conservative as PMB is, glad he at least accepted the suggestion of Osinbajo's economic team that government must use PPP (private-public sector partnership) to develop Nigeria.

Much more practical and effective than trying to self-fund to then fail as PDP did to the extent many abandoned projects littered their 16 years reign.

Reality is that Nigeria, even minus the looting, cannot fund solutions for her infrastructure deficit optimally. Incentivised Private sector partnership and cash is required. Lots of it. This is the way to go to deliver large scsle projects like these.

The private investors and shareholders did you check theor ethnicities before you start talking? you guys are pathetic walahi
