just channel your brain towards positivity before negativity destroys you.

Did you know how many ports that are and will be ready by 2019?

The 'everyone is against us' mentality will eventually destroy u!!!

NIWA concessions Onitsha River Port to 2 firms


The Acting Managing Director, National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA, Danladi Ibrahim, on Monday disclosed that the Onitsha river port in Anambra State has been concessioned to two companies and that the port may commence operations before the end of 2018.


Ibrahim said among the four existing river ports, two would be commissioned by the President before the end of the year.
Though the MD declined to disclose the names of the concessionaire for the river port project because the award letters are yet to be issued to the operators of the facility, the NIWA boss noted that the concession agreement will last for a period of 25 years.

According to him, “The concession has been completed, we open the financial bid on the 3rd of July and we have picked the most competitive concessionaires and any moment from now they will take over.

The NIWA boss said that skeletal operations is ongoing at the facility hence the concessionaires will take over the facility to commence full blown operations soon

Speaking on Baro port, Ibrahim assured that the road linking Abuja will be taken care of by relevant agencies, adding that the facility has been completed by 75% as the cargo handling equipment designated for the project are being installed by a German firm.

Ibrahim explained further that the dredging and concession of the two ports were awarded at the same period noting that vessel cannot load consignment when dredging is ongoing.

He added that “Government maximize the use of the resources of 12 major rivers in the country.

The lower River Niger was not left out, as capital dredging from Warri to Baro, covering a distance of 572km, has been concluded.

“It is apt to mention that NIWA ‘s achievement under Ameachi ‘s watch have become so enormous, mindful that it was within the present administration that the Baro river port reached 95% completion level, as government aims to provide cargo handling equipment and turn the basin into a river port.

“Already, work is on going to enable barges discharge their goods effectively is going on at Baro port. Also the cargo handling equipment for the Baro River Port are on going.

“It is our hope to see the full concession of the Onitsha River Port before the end of the year, completion of the Lokoja river port and supply of cargo handling equipment at Baro river port.

“We believe this will complement activities at the Lokoja river port and create multiple benefits with attendant multiplier effects on the economy, particularly in promoting multi modal transport and cheaper coastal service across 28 states of the federation.

Points of note

1 , They didn't mention the name of the concessionairs because none has been chosen for Onitsha, and maybe never ever.
2, No date was fixed for opening the ports operation, so we can wait till 2055 for start of operations
3 , this is just a face saving announcement to deceive the gullible into thinking FG can do anything for the south east, because we will ask about Onitsha after Baru.

Rotimi Amaechi right now "Is there's anyway we can re-channel the river Niger through Warri-Agbor back into Kogi state so we can avoid Onitsha altogether"?.

BestDude:
God bless you. Thank God you are first to comment.

The machination and mercenaries of APC is mind boggling.

They had to hurriedly make a report because we were attacking them for the Kaduna inland port...

@Amarabae hammered on this yesterday or so.

It will never be well with all who try to play gambld with the collective intelligence of the Igbos.

Anyone who believes this story or think that APC Gunment will do anything to favor ndi Igbo must be high on Oshogbo weed.

This is good one from the government, I thought this government was going to neglect the East, but it seems to me when compared with the last 16 before this government, this is the only time reasonable and business minded projects that the Eastern block truly needs is coming their way.

The direct electrification of major markets in the East according to Fashola to bypass the DISCOS who refuse upgrade for whatever reason. The East will benefit more as time goes on.

I don't do politics people do here on Nairaland, the moderation here is that no racism or tribalism, but I see a lot that goes unchecked and a lot needs to be cleaned up. Cleanup could come in form of a Yellow Card and the next come the Red Card.

You have reading comprehension issues.

Juliusmalema:
uwc until baro port is commissioned and functioning......u will then know u have reading and understanding situations at hand.

Blue3k:
Lol after the ports are operating you will jump out skin telling us its jonathans projects and other nonsense. The port being baro Commissioned next month so be ready to deliver lines.

Amarabae:
You de mind them.
Useless things.
They can only deceive themselves.
They know that eyebrows will be raised over that kaduna port

proeast:
Lol, just imagine!? These bastards really playing with us no be small. Everything about the SE is in future tense while anything that concerns north is done immediately. Is anyone still surprised on why Nigeria has remained a sh!thole despite its potentials? Imagine a commercial and industrial port-city like Onitsha where a huge percentage of Nigeria's imports goes to was relegated while a village in the north was completed!? Despite the fact that Baro village is far more inland and equally in an unviable area!? Is Nigeria not a cursed country when we have ret.ards and I'd!ots ruling the country.
Making Onitsha port operational will not be in the interest of Anambra state or even Igbos alone rather it will go a long way in solving the gridlock and frustration in Lagos due to too many trailers trying to access the ports there, will also reduce the need for Igbos to leave their region as others have been canvassing for and equally help to grow Nigeria's economy yet these bastards and re.tards ruling Nigeria think they would be doing Igbos a favour by making Onitsha port operational. Now, what is the basis for sharing a country with wicked people who will rather see us suffer than progress?? I piss on this worthless creation of Lugard, may he rot in hell.
