And in your bigotry,you assumed that the acclaimed 10% discount was what was stalling the development of the eastern ports?

What is stalling the eastern seaport and was your so-called subject matter explained in the article?

What are the people of the area doing about insecurity? Or the criminals are ghosts cum aliens who are not residing there with the people

If the government want to tackle insecurity they know what to do. I live in Port Harcourt and know that seafarers are usually at the mercy of Pirates, and no sensible businessman will import through such a risky waterway, no matter the reduction as incentive.

So the primary concern of the government if they are sincere about the Eastern Ports is to tackle the menace of insecurity first and almost every other thing will fall into place.

The federal government of Nigeria is solely responsible for the policing and security of everywhere in Nigeria.

This is very good news for SE/SS.

Now, do yourself a favor and clear out your sea pirates, creek militants and armed robbers and kidnappers on land so your people can grow business and improve economy and society of East.

In summary, you have been empowered to "develop" your land at a discount of what it cost you to develop Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja, Kano, America, Canada, China and so on.

Efforts should be made in tackling insecurity first. That and shallow draft are the two major problems of the Eastern ports. This incentive is secondary.

When you find yourself in a hole.......you stop digging!

Igbo are too stubborn to learn .......and learn you WILL! sadly the HARD way. 1967 comes to mind, and exclusion from the 3-tier of governance in 2019 is right here before our korokoro eyes.

IGBOS were also excluded from the 3 tiers of govt in 2015, aren't we still around? Bubbling n moving forward for that matter... cheesy.

1967 coming to ur mind means absolutely nothing, IGBOS don't fuckkking care what u think bout dem

good thinking
we need further reduction and also the building and expansion of the eastern ports
They can build and expand the ports if there are no patronages.

They will be forced to develop the ports if people use it more

The Management of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has approved a 10 per cent discount on harbour dues in all concessioned terminals at the Eastern ports.

Mr Jatto Adams, the NPA General Manager, Corporate and Strategic Communications, in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos said that the discount was part of efforts to increase patronage of the Eastern ports.

According to him, ports that will be affected by this initiative are Calabar, Rivers and Delta Ports.

The Authority, however, wishes to clarify that this discount will only apply to harbour dues payable by the following types of vessels/cargoes.

“Container vessels with at least 250 TEUs; General cargo vessels with at least 16,000 tonnes; combo vessels with at least 16,000 tonnes; and RORO vessels with at least 250 units of vehicles.

“These discounts shall not apply to vessels coming INBALLAST (empty); vessels calling at private jetties; and vessels calling carrying liquid bulk,” Adams said.

According to him, the application of the discounts will take immediate effect. (NAN

What are you talking about, it should be 30% cos it cost more to ship to these regions, the FG should encourage more vessels to go there by slashing fees.

You decided to answer a question that I did not ask.
Nevertheless how is the government different from the people? Is the federal government not including the senators and representatives from the states affected by this insecurity? Do you think that their job is to simply collect millions and share crumbs to influencers in their community

Stop arguing unnecessarily.
Even in the days of Jonathan, he kept lamenting that importers prefer Lagos ports even after import waivers were given to the importers from the eastern route.
An expert simply told me that shipping lines prefer Lagos because they get more importers who are interested in their goods landing in Apapa.
