General Manager Onitsha River Port Wannes De Wit have these to say about Onitsha Port

-You can have your goods barged and cleared in Onitsha Port.

- You have opportunity to export from Onitsha straight to the rest of the ports around the world.

- Onitsha Port to undergo continuous dredging.

This is laudable.

More Revenue to both Federal and state Governments.

This is a very Welcomed Development .

There's absolutely no need to stifle competition in Port Operation in Nigeria. Let's ensure every port is functioning optimally.

There are lots of numerous advantage should Onitsha Port maximizes its operations.

We will reduce the repair of Lagos-Benin federal highway. There won't be much goods to be conveyed by trucks to the east via that road. Goods will be coming in through the port

I hope this is true. Please they should also work hard towards directly berthing containers there.

Lagos really need to be depopuplated
Those dirty alaba and Ladipo markets need to be relocated back to the east. Many Igbos need to return back to the east.

I pray one day, importation coming to the east will no longer go through lagos

More grease to their elbow then

Wow, this is a cheering news.

I'm from Delta, and a functional Onitsha Port, will benefit us too

States like Delta, Kogi, Anambra etc, will benefit from a functional Onitsha Port

Zionmdde:

Yeah, it will always benefit federal government and Lagos state government

The negative side of it will reduce bribes for inter-state customs officers
Police officers
Military personals ..., etc along Benin- Onitsha road
Lagos- Ibadan exp.

Area boy's incomes in Lagos will also reduce.

There is silent reawakening among Igbos after the attack on Igbos in Lagos during the last 2023 Lagos Gubernatorial election.


Gradually Igbos will get it right, but we really need useless bloodsucking demonic Governors like Hopeless Uzodinma out of the Southeast to end insecurity in SE

Great info

Another Peter Obi influenced project. Started by shagari later abandoned. But later completed and commissioned by GEJ through Obi's influence. Other FG projects attracted by Obi include: Naval base, CBN, federal Secretariat, second Niger bridge. After leaving office, Obi was the first to make a case that Onitsha port should be gazetted as final port of destination, today it's happening after much delay in concessioning by enemies of progress

good news
God bless alaigbo

the best route to export drugs n crimes

It will get to a stage federal government will have to shut it down completely or employ other Nigerians as heads to stop them from disgracing Nigeria

Supremos:

Everywhere is rapidly being built up

Supremos:
Hatefilled dingbat. Why haven't they shut down MMIA Lagos and all the ports jn Lagos which Tinubu and his ilks use for drug trafficking?

Oga there are checks there n u can see majority of bursted criminals there are igbos n it’s because igbos aren’t in charge n no compromise

If fg allows igbos to head it, that will b d end of Nigerians international reputation
