It remains Port-harcourt and Calabar ports. Continuity of these ports should be guaranteed so as to decongest Lagos that is already over-populated. |

Racoon:Why have the 15 senators from the region and their representatives counterparts failed to get this done since 1999 through budget appropriations that are followed up for implementation? What have they been doing in Abuja for the past 26 years? Fcvking away the people’s mandate to be federal lawmakers ![]() Have we not had several principal officers of both chambers of the NASS from the region all these years? anonimi: |

esnbrutality:Apapa port is the biggest in Nigeria and doesn't need to be dredged continually like the Onitsha port and dredging river Niger continually will affect the NC fishing industry. The Apapa Port has been dredged multiple times throughout its history to accommodate larger vessels. Dredging efforts began in the late 1890s to allow ships to reach the Lagos harbor. One notable dredging project occurred in 1906, using the dredger "Egerton", to deepen the lagoon mouth. The port's deepening and expansion have continued to ensure its capacity to handle increasing trade volumes. |

If not for useless ethnic politics those currently in power loves playing I don't see any reasons why a region like the south east that's well known for importation and business will be denied a functioning port. |

phorget: I guess you read the factors that kept them in the coven, such as pirates, militancy and the unwillingness of eboes to patronise the port, so who should we blame for that if not your self inflicted insecurity Lagos offers a safe haven because the Yorubas know the importance of peaceful and safe environment for business that’s why no business man or investors will over look Lagos and Yorubaland for an insecure region like SE and besides, you can’t compare a river port with a seaport which is lacking in SE because it lack direct access to the Atlantic ![]() |

"....... the port was left unused until 2018 when President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration reopened it for operation......" Is it the same Buhari that is so hated by most South Easterners? wonders shall never, ever cease !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Racoon:There is a lot of ways to blosom without the port. The port is not the main issue. Afterall there is port in Warri, PH and Calabar. Have any of those cities witnessed extraordinary development on thr basis of the port being there? |

COMPAQ:Tell that to lagos state. If there is a port in onitsha,how does that affect your existence? Are you jealous that igboland is no longer landlocked as you guys postulated? |

phorget:It is called strategic marginalisation. This is one of the reasons this people would not allow Igbo man to become president. They intentionally sabotage the economy of the south east. They want port revenue to start and end in Lagos. That is the selfishness of an entire region, but God pass them. |
