$1.3bn Deep Sea Port In Ondo Will Create 20,000 Jobs — Akeredolu by adebayoabiola(op): 3:15pm On Jan 28, 2019
Ondo State governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu has said that the proposed $ 1.3 billion Multipurpose Deep Sea Port in the state would create job opportunities for 20,000 people in the Ilaje coastal areas of the state.

Akeredolu He said the feasibility study has been completed and forwarded to the Nigeria Port Authority ,NPA.

He said these in Akure during the presentation of the report of the consultants to the state Executive Council and stakeholders of the coastal communities.

He said: “The port will offer between 7000 to 10,000 job opportunities while the Free Trade Zone FTD will offer between 9,500 to 10,000 employment opportunities.

“We are doing things for the generation to come. I have always believed that there should be a beginning. We have started, there is no going back. “I was privileged to travel with President Buhari to the Netherlands. We went on a boat and visited the ports. I told him, if anything like this must happen in Nigeria, it must be in Ondo State. Not only that, the President has said it most of the times that he knows that Ondo is the right place for a deep-sea port.

“We should not play politics with everything. It is not our making but providence has put us where we are today. Where we are today, is the best place to have a deep-sea port.

“Ours, as a state, is to prepare the ground and show the feasibility and bankability. Can Ondo State do it? No, Ondo State cannot build or own a port. But there are many people who are willing to invest.

“The Chinese, Dutch, and others are interested because this will be a West African port not just for the country. It is not that we are looking for money to build a port but we are looking for investors and they will invest here.’’

According to the feasibility study, the 75-kilometre shoreline is a challenge for the development of a deep-sea port and is characterised by wetland and mud sedimentation.

Everything should be done fast so that the bitumen project can fully commence as well.

It was the lack of sagacity on the part of the previous administration in Ondo State
that led to the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery being moved to Ibeju-Lekki in Lagos
State.

Please, for those crying for deep sea ports in their barren, muddy landlocked lands, go and ask your Governors to give you.

Hope you can see Aketi's plan for Ondo and the Lekki Deep Seaport in Lagos? Both are State projects.

The only thing your Governors can do is fight over naming of street from Abakaliki Street to Club street.

Next Level. PDP will rather steal the money and be giving jobless people 500 Naira. That’s why PMB is the man for the job.

Regionalize this country so that nations within Nigeria can go ahead and do these things without waiting for one long FG clear.. It is so annoying that some developmental projects need to first get approval from the central govt. Bleep who ever merged this unitary system.

Whatever happened to the Olokola Deep-sea Port and FTZ proposed during Late Agagu era?
This is a life changing project that is cable of transforming a whole generation. I hope it doesn't go the way of OK FTZ of Agagu era
