islandmoon: Indeed! The jobs they are crying about being denied must be the kidnapping opportunities no longer existing. Again, LADOL will site its project where it deems fit and as originally planned, with or without NLNG. Not where a dunce president had hoped to empower kidnappers. 6 Likes 1 Share |

CSTR2: If so, then why crying over a Yoruba man's investment and where he chooses to site it? So I'm guessing all the cries from the youths are crocodile tears. For your own education, the oil industry is not the only foreign investment in Nigeria. Also the project in question isn't solely targeting the oil industry or Nigerian marketing alone. 1 Like |

godwin120alex: You cannot force private investors to site their investments where you would prefer. It is theirs and profit is the motivation. They are not in the business of developing cities, that is government's job. Private investors are only interested in developing their income. The SouthSouth state governments and its citizens who feel slighted can also put up a similar project and challenge the one to be sited in Lagos in a healthy business competition. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I will really like to have the names of those that recommended Badagry for the siting of this dry dock. I will also like to know the geopolitical zones they came from. Such investments should be spread out, as Lagos is not the only coastal srea in the country |

Let that Yoruba man called Babs Jolayemi Omotowa continue with his fairy tell project.

CHESSBOARD: http://m.worldmaritimenews.com/#newsitem-168489 Nigeria LNG Refutes Involvement in Badagry Dry Dock Project Nigeria LNG Limited has denied its involvement in the proposed USD 1.5 billion Badagry Dry Dock Project after several media reports identified the company as the owner of the project. Nigeria LNG said that the company is not the owner and is not investing in the building of any dry dock anywhere in the world, as it has a singular business focus, namely processing and exporting LNG. The owner of the proposed dry dock in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria, is a consortium of other Nigerian companies under the name of Badagry Ship Repair and Maritime Engineering Company (BSMEC), according to Nigeria LNG. ''NLNG's only interest was and still remains, encouraging investors to consider building dry docks in the country to save the nation's foreign exchange and save local ship owners, like ourselves, the trouble of having to go overseas for dry dock services,'' the company said in a statement. ''Nigeria LNG would thus be pleased to see more dry dock projects emerge in different parts of the country, but will not be investing in any. It is thus fair to add that not being an investor in dry dock, NLNG cannot dictate to investors where to site their projects.'' Badagry Dry Dock will be the first facility of this kind able to receive large vessels in the region of West Africa. Currently, owners of large vessels in the region have to dry dock their vessels in Europe, Asia and North America. |

A group of foreign companies came together to discuss and agree on biz of intrest, carried out feasibility study of the project, chose the best location for them. And sought the assistance of the FG for land aquisition and so on. Then we have some idiots protesting the location. They dont want their biz to be distrupted by lazy and myopic youths. This project includes the constuction of a mega port where giant vessels with higher metric tons of cargo will be able to berth conviniently with minimum annual dredging activities. So dear activists, pls check your facts, this is not only about NLNG alone, NLNG will only be there to provide services to power companies and others invoved in the joint project. |

lalasticlala:The conclusion on citing the dock in lagos was made after they had done feasibility studies on all the other regions, and badagry dock was chosen because of its depth .. Citing a dock isn't child's play a lot of factors are put into consideration.. , bonny island wasn't feasible because a lot of dredging will have to be done unlike @ badagry where little or no dredging will be done. So please all yea "restive niger delta youths" give peace a chance . |

walexy30: Guy to buttress your point eh, I've seen where omoniles in an area were literally fighting the residents of the place because of a company that moved in. Apparently, the omoniles had collected money from the company and also the company had employed some of their youths, so when the folks in the area were complaining about some of the perceived excesses of the company, the omoniles took sides with the company to protect "their interest and investment". My firm was called in to settle the matter and we had to enlist the help of the baale of the community, omo no be small matter o, but thank God the issue was settled and everybody lived happily ever after! Lol. Back to the topic; companies have a right to site their business wherever they feel is conducive for them, afterall they're profit-making organisations and not charities, so it is wrong for the Niger-deltans to dictate where the company should site its business. Moreover, the Niger-delta region has this unenviable reputation has a place where expats can be kidnapped anyhow; so you see expats and foreigners go about with heavily armed security over there, something they don't do in Lagos. So my advice to my Niger-delta people is that they really need to make their region more conducive and accommodating for businesses. The well-worn excuse that the people there are poor and that the federal govt and the system make them react negatively to foreigners is no longer tenable, because you don't cut your nose to spite your face (case in point, the boko haram nonsense going on in the north east). If you want your standard of living to improve, you need to get formal education, encourage businesses and most importantly; hold your leaders accountable, a situation where you celebrate mediocrity and stupid political leadership should no longer be tolerated. Enough said. |

Ranks007: Wait further and see opportunities to control such resources denied. Set from you thoughts such futuristic plans and seize the moment when the resources are still present, your resources are depleting at a fast rate, Oloibiri is no longer an oil producing town today, they are no drops of oil in Oloibiri the once oil rich town, today. Time is of the essence and it's running out. |
