Investors are falling over themselves to grab the port because they know that 65%0of the containers coming into the country endup in the zone, you can only hate but you can't stop their potential

For Nigeria 🇳🇬 as a country to grow, governance and political decisions should be decentralized.


When everyone feels the sense of belonging that's when this sleeping giant will be awake.

It's good they've partnered with a globally recognized authority in inland port management. Hopefully, they will make Onitsha port viable.

Alex Otti should also make it a priority to ensure that Abia State has a functional seaport. Obuaku is very short to the Atlantic and a viable seaport can easily be build there. Such will automatically make Abia State the most economically prosperous state in SE and first 3 in Nigeria.

Onitsha? Nope there is no Much potential

But down that river close to the tripod between Rivers, IMO and Anambra it's a wonderful spot for a port

The 3 states can come together and build a river port that would take container from Bonny

Rivers state need a deep sea port in either Bonny or opobo...

The best place for port on South East remain Abia

It's strategically located

Negotiate we akwa ibom... Their aluminium smelting company on ikot abasi closed because of lack of dredging of that River

So dredging would benefit Abia, river and akwa ibom

Lagos it at the boarder with Benin Republic but handling almost all cargo in Nigeria

What's exactly location?..the community I mean

Secondly a port in onitsha mustn't be at the current location.

Somewhere before the 2nd Niger bridge is idle for me.

Location is irrelevant, that's my point. A port must not be at the center of the places it's intended to serve

I am yet to understand his point! my worry about Onitsha port is that it may lack space for expansion

exactly! you hit the nail on the head...............its all about transhipment! you can tranship all the way from Lekki port sef and onne!!

This is a great development.

However, there is the problem of Global Warming.

The Rhine in Europe and many rivers in China either partially dried up of fully did in 2022. This either led to a complete stoppage of movement of people and cargo down these rivers or restricted it.

I don't know what would happen were a flood to occur if it would adversely affect the port itself or vehicular movement along it but it should if I want to be realistic.

Another one can be built at a new location, Lagos has three
