The Federal approves the creation of a new sea port in Badagry. Minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi says it will take 5 years but can be generating about 2.58 billion dollars to Nigeria if it starts functioning, but the only thing required of the Lagos state government to provide is just Land, because most of the funding will come from investors.

Fashola said the government have been loosing over 1 trillion due to tax evasion by the Multinational companies and that the FG should look into the matter.

Eko Baje Ti !!!

I don't even know how to take this.... Population and traffic ehn!!

What happened to Port Harcourt, Akwa Ibom, Age in Bayelsa State?
Must we concentrate in Lagos?

I don't think it's wise for security reasons.

5%!

Ameachi is a traitor, what happens to Portharcourt he claim to love or even Calabar, he is everything against South South....Lagos is saturated yet the efuluefu is taking all SS projects to Lagos to appease his masters

If i'll be objective here,lagos dont need another port,take it to SS.

wetin again?

you all hate him and all requested his head if he comes to Rivers alone. you still expect him to come with project you won't appreciate and vandalize to discredit him.

Ph seaport is under utilized, Ibaka deep sea port has entered voicemail, Brass has a sea port proposed for it but fa. Lagos needs two sea ports since those other places are 5% "villages" according to one idiot here (ares*a)

This is a private sector driven project. Nobody is stopping other private sectors from siting an investment in the form of a sea port in PHC, Calabar or Akwa Ibom.

Those states should get their ass up and go and look for the investment. This project has been in the books since Fashola era, it was just delayed because GEJ withheld approval for it.

Lagos wants to develop abeg, no one should hold it down.

Haters kindly note that this is in addition to the ongoing Lekki Sea Port.

This is not about Amaechi. It is not a FGN project. FGN just needs to approve as it falls under her purview to grant such approvals.

The project has been in the books far before Amaechi came on board. GEJ administration did not give approval to the project, despite that it's a PPP. He played politics with the aspirations of Lagos.

Luckily he is out of the saddle, and a new government desperate to create jobs has no option but to give approval. And even moreso, since the state and the federal are aligned politically.

You blame others for everything but refuse to question your own. Why have u not called Akpabio to question over the Ibaka sea port?? Akwa-Ibom has sufficient funds to contribute to the project but did not.

Why should u blame Lagos for being successful and forward thinking? The money Akpabio spent on building that beautiful stadium, don't you think it would have yielded more economic benefits if it was used to build a modular petroleum refinery or a sea port??

Bolustic:

So that militants can kidnap the expatriates, seize containers, blow u ships in the name of agitation.

Investments go to the peaceful place only

What makes you think this can't happen in lagos?

Besides these ships can be hijacked anywhere in the ocean

For national security, it's best you have seaports in different regions in case of war, what happens if lagos is under siege?
