How can they stop it? Some ships will patronize the place and customs personnel will be stationed there

All you need to do is to direct all containers to this port. They call it port of destination and its determined by the importer

Lol
Federal government under the APC will use added charges to discourage shippers. Place more charges on freights and make Lagos ports cheaper as usual..

The federal fulani government will work against him.
The only recognized government pikin is dangote.

This is the way to go but I'm sure certain people from a particular region will not like this news. Just that NPA mentioned that they were going to decentralize some activities and divert it to Warri refinery,Lagos state officials have been wailing and crying since days
Shebi they said people should go back to their region and leave their Lagos for them,this is just the beginning,they have not seen anything yet.

Nice one. This is what we have been talking about.
At least igbos can now reduce the way the come to the SW.

You speak out ignorance and illiteracy. You are really out of tune to what is going -on. Federal government is inviting private individuals to participate in all sectors of our economy ranging from oi and gas, even road and railway construction and ports so also to ensure efficiency.

Ndiigbo need a wide net of public and private ports. I never thought of this idea because but Ibeato has done something revolutionary. When they said Igbo ppl can't have airports we built our own. Power plant, we built our own, Refineries, we built our own, now ports.

Hopefully someone with money looks like to Azumini in Abia, waiting for government = one chance. I live in the US and every state has 2-5 ports.
New York State alone has 10 port districts. With the way Nigeria's hateful idiotic system is, you will think something like airports and ports are nuclear reactors that are not easy to build and common to open.

Do you know government determines where each product can be imported from.

That can be true for maybe a few items. Can't be all. Then it is possible to resist such a policy
