[size=14pt]I beg whose oil dem wan build for?

Na our oil?

Una don see why we dey vex.

Dem dey carry oil from our land go develop dem place, while we suffer.[/size]

Children of hate we don sight you

So you expect the tin to dey complement economy immediately Abi?

I pity who send you go school that is if you finish gaan

DesChyko:
And who will finance this project?

Surely not the Niger Delta Oil again.

The taxpayers right?

And who are the taxpayers?

The same people the indigenes want out right?

The FG should right their wrongs by building a seaport at the SS/SE.

It is really stup¡d to claim to diversify but fail to create a level playground.

We know how much is spent on land after bringing in goods via the seaport; transported to places that have access to sea routes already.

Why not create an alternative seaport so 'certain states' that feel they need more seaports can have a rethink?

smallJagaban:


IT SEEMS YOU ARE WAILING RIGHT?

WHICH WRONG?

Viccur:
who sounds half schooled between us? Tell me one economy booster that has been effective in the long run ever since your brothers of hate took over. Bunch of myopic goons.

Okay where are the goods that needs to be exported or you just want to build a giant elephant. Where are the factories, industries ,incentives to attract investors.

Our site is located just outside metropolitan Lagos along the Benin-Lagos expressway which is currently being upgraded from a 4-lane to a 10-lane highway. When completed, the new road will offer superior connectivity to all of Nigeria’s Western and Northern states and ensure the port becomes the lasting replacement for congested metro-Lagos area ports going forward.

[s]Hmmm..... $2.6 B foreign investment. What are we gaining from this?...500k jobs and bragging rights? What's in it for the foreign investors?...is the port in our interest or their interest? Free Zone...sounds nice..but what exactly is a Free Zone?...it's like an industrial Embassy...where the laws of the land (Nigeria/Lagos) do not apply....many foreign industries set up in this area..... import raw materials...exploit the cheap abundant labour force... and export the finished products. A deep water port is needed to make this possible. Free Zone.... 1000 hectares of Nigeria being proudly handed over to the exploiters foreign investors and here we are beating our chests and shouting. ..a welcomed development. History has a way of repeating itself.... and in this case...at the same place..Badagry....before they came with trinkets in exchange for our people... now we are inviting them back for our land.Off of our feet they took the chains....now it seems they put it on our brains[/s]

obailala:
What FG wrong are we talking about exactly?... Lagos state is building a seaport to boost Lagos' economy, but you blame FG for not building one in the SS/SE?

Are there no leaders in the SS/SE?... Why does the leadership vacuum in the SS/SE always have to be blamed on the FG?...

Early 90's, I know the multitude of companies that existed in Warri paying millions in tax and employing millions directly and indirectly, but today 95% of those companies have moved away to PH and mainly Lagos all due to the indiscretions and criminality of some lazy youths and the stupidity of those who should have known better to stop those youths but rather chose to encourage, glorify and defend their criminality. Just recently even the almighty Shell left Warri, but instead of identifying or acknowledging the real issue, people choose to believe and dwell in nonsense theories about how the FG is responsible for the unfriendly business atmosphere in the Niger Delta.

Meanwhile it's never too late to remedy the problem; Niger delta states still receive the highest allocations, there's really nothing stopping SS state governments from establishing world class seaports even if it means pulling resources together. But will importers use the new seaports with the self-inflicted security situation in the zone?... That's a question for the gods.

flamyd:
you can't build sea port in the south south because the first 200 nautical miles from shore is not deep enough to accommodate heavy cargo so what can be built is a deep sea port which is harder to achieve if you don't already have a shoreline port

DesChyko:


I believe you are aware that NPA isn't a Lagos State Government agency? The wharf we know in Lagos today was built by the NPA and that opened Lagos to the monopoly of being the sole imports route. Lagos State is able to tap into the idea of a new seaport because the success of the first, along with other favours including the current congestion at the port has put it on that pedestal to dream big. All I'm asking is that let the FG channel same dedication into developing and maintaining a competent seaport in this region. Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Delta and Rivers are strategically positioned like Lagos to house such responsibility.

Despite the yearly allocation of several billions of naira for the construction of a proposed greenfield deep seaport at Ibaka in Akwa Ibom State by both the State Government and the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) since 2011, the project has remained elusive, with no evidence of a port being built at the proposed site.

The project is missing in the National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan and in the list of similar projects planned in partnership between the federal government and state government, with expectations of private investors collaborations, investigations by LEADERSHIP have revealed.

The Ibaka Deep Seaport, a project for which the federal ministry of transport, the NPA and the Akwa Ibom State Government have held several workshops and taken commendations at several events is also missing in a maritime and air transport report prepared by Steer Davies Gleave for the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) hosted by

The African Development Bank.

The study, which was carried out to assess the potential for enhanced private participation in the maritime and air transport sectors in Africa however identified the Lekki Deep Seaport measuring 970m of container berths, 320m dry bulk berth, 1-2 oil berths and located 60km east of Lagos.

The Badagry greefield port, Koko Port and Olokola Port were also listed with their capacity and promoters.

The water at Ibaka is said to have a natural draft of 11 metres, without dredging, making it a huge potential for possible deep seaport construction.

Akwa Ibom State has continued to budget for the port, which Governor Godswill Akpabio said would create employment for 100,000 Nigerians.

The NPA had also told LEADERSHIP in Uyo at the PCC meeting that the deep seaport would be completed in 2015.

When LEADERSHIP visited the proposed site of the deep seaport at Ibaka, there was nothing to show that a seaport was being planned at coastal community.

A lonely dilapidated narrow road, better described as a colonial road leads to Ibaka, from Oron. As early as 2011, the Akwa Ibom State Governor told a Nigeria Ports Consultative Council (PCC) meeting in Uyo that his government had concluded plans to dualise the road.
