Dubai-based DP World, operator of the Port of Dubai, has proposed establishing an industrial park at Nigerian ports to enhance export processing.

The proposal was announced during a delegation meeting in Abuja, where Minister of Marine and Blue Economy Adegboyega Oyetola expressed robust government support for initiatives that modernize port infrastructure and attract strategic foreign investment, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday.

Oyetola emphasized Nigeria’s extensive coastline and abundant available land, positioning the country as an ideal setting for an industrial park that would complement existing port operations.

In his remarks, the minister explained that the proposed industrial park would serve as a dedicated logistics hub, streamlining cargo handling and expediting export processes.

“Over the weekend, when I received a delegation from the DP World, I affirmed that the government is open to investments in the sector and assured that the ministry will provide the needed impetus to interested parties for such ventures.

“I welcome the proposal by the Port of Dubai to establish an industrial park to complement the ports and provide a logistics base for processing for exports.

“We have an extensive coastline and abundance of lands suitable for the development of industrial parks,” Oyetola said.

The minister urged the Dubai delegation to submit a formal proposal to the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) for review.

Nigeria has given foreign countries control of their ports!!!
Anyone with a modicum of sense will understand how dangerous that can be for the largest black race on earth.
We need to be in control of our ports and borders. However, that has not been the case!

1. The Lekki deep see port is owned by the Chinese
2. The Atlantic Ocean water front is owned by the Lebanese and they even caused Nigerian owned businesses to be demolished for their own expansion.

Now, I am not against any investment into Nigeria but have you noticed a lot of them seek to take control of critical infrastructure, from ports to free trade zones, to transportation infrastructures, IT IS CRITICAL for a country like Nigeria to control those assets of critical security!!

Take a look at Haiti, French ownership of their main ports led to the discreet arming of gangs which has led to Haiti becoming deeply destabilized!! NIGERIA PLEASE WAKE UP!!!!
