its the agenda of the powers that be to suppress the SE and SS. It's an open secret

one of the reasons I consider Jonathan a failure..He could have opened up those SS and SE ports but he didn't. Now buhari has done it for the north.

How will the goods make it to Kaduna? Teleportation?

NB: I need someone to break it down for me. I don't understand how containers are cleared at ports.

This is how it works. The containers will be shipped to Lagos, then they will be transported to the north. The govt will bear the cost of transportation by rail to make it attractive

This is what Lagosians have been praying for. Let everybody take their own cargo away from Lagos and decongest the city. Too many accidents with trucks and trailers carrying containers on our roads. Thank God we can expect less fatality now.

Easterners please follow this man example and tell your billionaires and governors to follow suit so your people are not resulting in casualty on highway everyday running business back and forth.

Kudos to Elrufai! He should use the opportunity to generate IGR if Niger buys in to his idea.

It is the duty of the FG to reactivate the 6 or 7 seaports in eastern Nigeria, We have no need for our billionaires to build new ones.

Politics of Seaport in Nigeria.

Before the establishment of Lagos Wharf Port were very advanced Port Harcourt and Calabar Seaports. The two collapsed completely due to the civil war. No effort was made again by the successive governments to reopen the ports. Of note, Seaport and sea transportation is an exclusive constitutional preserve of the Federal Government.

What then is preventing the Federal Government from reopening the Port Harcourt and Calabar Seaports? South Africa has four major seaports servicing its economy. Can't we emulate good things and leave ethnic politics aside.

Stop writing nonsense.
Onne, Calabar and Warri ports are there but overseas logistics companies prefer using Lagos ports because they have lots of customers coming from that axis.
It's just like blaming FG because Akwa Ibom international airport does not attract foreign airlines.
Stop the blame game...FG, although has its failings, is not responsible for why freight companies prefer Lagos ports

Is Kaduna dry sea port a government or individual effort. Also is there a railway linking the West to the East as the case of West to North?

Leaders in the SS and SE have no political will to open up those 2 ports. That is the problem. Most recently GEJ was president for 6yrs and did nothing. Ekwueme was VP for 4yrs and also did nothing to those ports in terms of opening them up fully.
Now, some northerns have worked hard within 5yrs to open a dry port, you are here complaining and insinuating nepotism about FG supression of the SS and SE.
Anyway, what do I know, as long as Lagos roads are gradually decongested of heavy articulated vehicles. I am happy. Peace!!!!

All ports in Nigeria are owned by the Nigerian government and they are the ones that shutdown 6 or 7 seaports in eastern Nigeria. This has absolutely nothing to do with political will, yoruba politicians never needed political will to build the Ports in Lagos

The SE and SS regiion needs a functioning Seaport capable of ferrying very large vessels as a matter of serious urgency

Lagos seaport is not sustainable anymore.

Stop saying what you don't know. My sister works with a shipping company and it's not what you think. Firstly SS ports are too shallow and large vessels cannot berth there hence the need to go through Lagos ports. The government could've dredged it to make it much deeper but they obviously haven't cared enough to do that.

Secondly lots of the places you want to ship from do not have port Harcourt on it's list of destinations so they simply won't ship to PH port. Did I mention the higher import duties for the pH ports? The government is responsible for these reasons I gave. They can ensure that it is fully upgraded to international status but deliberately won't due to their nonchalance.

There are no seaports in South Eastern Nigeria.
Here are the list of seaports in Nigeria.

Apapa seaport (Lagos State)
Tincan port (Lagos State)
Warri port (delta state)
Calabar port (cross-river state)
Onne port (rivers state)
Port-Harcourt port (Rivers state)

Piracy and militancy killed most of the ports in the south south region.

The SS has many seaports, it's just not being utilised.

The SE cannot have a sea port simply because there are no seas in the SE. What can be built are river ports.
Building river ports to the SE is a bit complicated. You need permission from communities down the delta to dredge the river. Abacha had problems with Ijaw communities when he attempted to dredge the river to onitsha.
Furthermore, the river would need periodic maintenance, ie periodic dredging and removing of debis from the river to allow ships sail through easily. The tiny stretch of water between the ocean and Apapa ports undergoes constant dredging.
You need a long term serious maintainable plan to operate and maintain a river port deep inland.

I think you are the one playing tribal politic here... As we speak calabar seaport is working fine... The reasons why most importers don't want to use it is because it cost more to clear goods than it lagos counterpart. And also there is ready market for your goods which buyers will take the transportation cost.
