what of River Niger?

babaolofin:


Oh boy. We are talking of Ocean going vessels you are talking about River Niger. It is true River Niger and Benue flow into Atlantic Ocean. During dry season those Rivers dry off. To charge them requires dredging. The dredging does not immediately make them international route for ocean liners .

Late Gamaliel Onosode, a Captain of Industries and Chairman of Niger Delta Environmental Survey (NDES) setup committee that engaged maritime research institutions to carry out Environmental Impact Assessment of the dredging of River Niger and Benue on Niger Delta communities, it was very serious. That was why Abacha could not continue.

Badagry Port is conceptualized by Private Investors and Lagos State because of Cotonou port, Lome Port and Tema Port in Ghana. The Ship Repair Yard by Hyundai and Samsung in that area is the biggest in West Africa to serve Ships in that West Africa axis not just Nigeria. Moreover, apart from Aje Oilfield in the offshore, another oilfield in the offshore (Ogo Oilfield) is coming online maybe by next year.

This is an International Port on International route.

Construction of Africa’s largest deep seaport situated in the Badagry area of Lagos has officially started. The project is a joint venture between Integrated Logistics Services (INTELS) and the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA).

rajiedreez:


Dredging will never turn a river into a sea. The point still remains that vessels won't be able to navigate through the river because of their weight and size is too massive.

valentineuwakwe:
Only lagos state have how many ports? Whereas the south east and south are begging for even riverport!

hammer567:
AFONJA STOP TELLING SKULL MINERS LIES ON THIS THREAD.

OkoYibo:


Yorubas are thinking 50 years ahead, you are busy shouting Afonja. Continue, you hear?
Your grandchildren will be outside that port hawking gala.

Omodua:
Who told you there is no sea in southeast. Onitsha is a good location because of proximity to the sea. It could be dredged to accommodate ships.
But FG won't because of primordial attachment.
Time will Tell!

hammer567:

MORE LIKE THINKING LIKE CRIMINALS.

OLE! THIEF!

IF U LIKE BUILD ONE MILLION PORTS, LAGOS CAN NEVER BE FOR YORUBA ALONE.

EVEN IF THE SE MOVE ON, FULANI WONT LET IT GO.

OkoYibo:



Okoro don dey cry.
We have told you that Yorubas are not your mates in anything. What Yorubas see today, you can't see it in a thousand years.

You don't want to move on but you want Biafra. I laugh.
Keep insulting Yorubas while we make progress.
50 years from now, your children will ask you what you were doing while Yorubas were developing their land.

hammer567:

YEAH! I KNOW YOUR PAINED.

I JUST LIKE TO GIVE YOU A DOSE OF REALITY, SO U CAN WAKE UP.

OkoYibo:


Pained?
I laugh at your bleak future bro.
Your children are already disadvantaged before being born, you are here shining teeth. Is it that you can't think with your head?

You can continue your sit at home on Mondays while Lagos is developing 2 ports simultaneously.

hammer567:

2 PORT IN ADDITION TO 3 EXISTING PORT IS TOO SMALL.
MAKE IT 10 PORTS BY ADDING ANOTHER 5.

OkoYibo:


If you give birth to enough children to hawk gala in 10 ports, we will build 10 ports.

But seriously, we are still building more ports
1 cargo Airport and 2 Seaports on Ogun.
2 Seaports in Ondo
Another seaport and airport in Lagos.

You see say e don pass 11 seaports so.
Make una dey do sir at home every Monday, you hear?

No be me say make God punish una by not giving you access to the sea.

seunmsg:


Tell Obaseki to look for private investors and get approval from FG. Shouting Edo no be Lagos all over the place won’t give you a seaport.

dododawa1:
what of River Niger?

hammer567:

WHICH ONDO?

ALL 10 PORTS WILL BE IN LAGOS.

PHIPEX:
Lagos is already congested with just Apapa port yet 2 more ports are coming up in Lekki and Badagry axis.

The Federal government should as well develop water channel through Berger and Iyana Ipaja, let's know the 4 corners of Lagos have been circled with ports while other states are begging for one.

In 2040, another generation will tell you how Tinubu and Sanwolu alone developed Lagos.

tempest01:


Were you born yesterday?

aribisala0:
Nothing to do with Tinubu maybe but how is it a FG project? The federal government is not funding the port with one Naira . Go and read the story.

Also the work to persuade the Private investor to choose Lagos state is credit to LASG

4ward4:


I guess you need to read who owns ports in Nigeria, It is just like the airport also.They are all owned by the federal Government..Concessions is a normal thing , most roads are currently been built through that means, and once the investors recup their money they will handover to the federal government.

sulaak:


What is stopping them from inviting investors to build ports in their?

Sitting on your black ass and playing the victim, is not a strategy for development. Hold your leaders to account and set expectation, I would expect Ondo and Ogun states to start building their own deepsea ports.

plaindealer:



There's nothing political here, this is about leadership and governance.

LASG tried for so many years to get this project off the ground, but suffered a lot of setbacks, but they did not give up, they found private investors ready to fund the project hence the FEC approval.

Now, the states you listed just have to do copy and paste from Lagos, do the hard work, don't give up, look for private investors, give the incentives and conducive support to generate such investments.

The sad thing about some governments and Nigerians is sitting around while other people are doing the hard work, showing leadership and generate investments.

They want to be like Lagos, but they don't want to do the hard work like the leaders in Lagos state, nothing comes easy, you have to work for it, blaming the FG for your incompetence won't get you anything.

4ward4:


LMAO, federal government will never I repeat never give Ports to state governments...Their major cashcow

tibatobi:
That is who they are.... Una never see Marginalization...this phase of marginalization will be Volume 100... oloriburuku people

ExplorerReturns:
Good move but congesting all the nation port at a location is not good. Development needs to be evenly spread.

OkoYibo:


It is a privately funded port. Don't you have private investors in the East?

Omodua:
And now,what's the way forward because southeast needs a seaport for their businesses.

valentineuwakwe:

where you see any? even if they have, will your FG allow them to operate?
