Ok
Pls thou shall not follow in the footsteps of the cursed tribe of Federal govt of Nigeria that patronized black market investors in China

Deal with the right investors so that the project can start sooner that later.

No wonder!!! So this government is built around youths like Kufre that is why they are getting it right, a govt that promised us metering company within 8months we have started submiting CV

Una welldone oooo

I can't wait to use this port. Igbos will channel all their shipments via this port. The 900 billion naira Lagos gets will now go to our brothers in Akwa Ibom. To God be the Glory. I hope that Buhari and yorubba will not frustrate this project.

gudnews to the people of that state & region..

but G... instead of u to face ur job,, u dey do nairaland & pinging...lol

Am glad when i see young brains in govt.

you no be journalist or press secretary to any party involved and you choose to take a selfie in the middle of an important meeting. If they sack you for not being serious with work now you will blame the president or your old aunt in the village. See woman no take photo na you wey be man do am

I see Akwa Ibom state reclaiming her rightful position as an oil city-state, not just Lag will continue to enjoy all the goodies emanating from the FG...

Well this is encouraging. I hope it isn't just talk. If it succeed it will create another Lagos-like city and will greatly reduce the strain on present Lagos. I hope they will be a functional port in the South-South.

BTW who is that sponge bob taking selfie?

How will they do that?

Excellent news. Only thing that could make it better is if Nigerian company was building port. Let our government not screw this task up like the did keeping simple street lights on. Take a look in airport road where we had darkness jully because nobody change light bulb in solar powered lights.

Good move

Nna that guy NOSE no be for here o,na foreign based Nose he carry....

Who builds and operate?
What is the stake of the State in the investment?
I am sure Buhari would support this...to reduce the burden on Lagos
Do quick so that NPA can share the coordinates for ships to berth

Igbos get ready. The closer the port, the smoother our business.

We should celebrate a deal that is ALMOST done?
So what should we do when the deal is FINALLY done?
Moreover, what should we do when the seaport is DELIVERED and operational?

This is good news, and will humble Lagos govt and their Obas! I can't wait. I hope Cross River tow same path.

a deep seaport
a FTZ
a Gas city. with LNG facilities
massive rice farming in its swamps

Is there no port in Calabar and in PORT Harcourt?
Why have the Igbos not channelled all their shipments to them?

that guy needs to be slapped

drnoel:

You think it's by accident or by the will of God that only Lagos ports are the only fully functional ports in Nigeria? Despite ports in Calabar, Warri, Port Harcourt, Onne and Onitsha. This is by design!

Nigerian company never construct better gutter finish na sea port you want make them handle, it's not fish pond we're talking about here.

I don't think most people making comments understands how business works. Are you aware that there is a port in Port Harcourt already.

Business is about market (population that have good income). If they bring in their goods, will they sell all of them at their home lands? What people don't understand is that by going "home", you limit the market for your product and thus growth. Business and alot of ideology dont always go hand in hand.

But for fun, check where the head office of capital oil or other establishmentof wealthy easterners.

All the same it's very good development.

It isn't about 'humbling' fellow Nigerians.

Why are you people so destructive? It is that mentality that has some people afraid of building a 2nd Niger Bridge or even a 4th Mainland Bridge.

What is good for Uyo is also good for Lagos and the rest of Nigeria.

I wish there was a reorientation programme for people like you who seem intent on spreading ignorance and discord at will.

You won't understand since you are yoruba. There is what is called systematic marginalization. Very difficult to understand unless you are the marginalized. There is a reason Abuja is developed to international standard and Port Harcourt is not.

If they're qualified why not don't assume everyone is as dumb as u. 170 million people and nobody qualified to build it but they're qualified to run and maintain it successfully in your mind. Ports aren't big deal they've existed forever mind you. Then after all this time we should have experts that can build and design. Don't under estimate ability of your country men just because they dont have big names yet.
