“Recently, we heard the licensed custom agents complaining about the same road, we hear you loud and clear, we have started work, so bear with us.

Glorymax:
Hope after rehabilitation the cargo imports should continue in Lagos, or are you people trying to implement the agitation for use of Calabar, Warri and PH seaports through the back door?

A nation held hostage by its leaders. Selfishness and tribal interest would never allow the nation develop to its full potential. These are the reasons for continuous agitations, and if not tackled fast, barrel of the gun can not hold the nation together.

0m0nnakoda:
It is clear importers prefer to import to Lagos because it is easier to sell their goods there. Apapa is overwhelmed and Lagos state has shown good vision in initiating Port Development in Lekki through PPP schemes.

We thought Akpabio had the same vision and the FG has approved the Ibaka scheme but he chose to build a fraudulent hospital and stadium.
Those waiting for the FG to build a port will wait for ever. The NPA authoized Ibaka seaport long ago then next thing is to find the money. The FG will never get that kind of money again with all its debts states need to take their destiny in their own hands especially the Niger Delta states like Akwa Ibom,Delta Rivers and Bayelsa. when governors like Ibori and Akpabio plunder their resources the people celebrate them as heroes

hopeforcharles:

Tell them, seeing all these things makes me seriously give up on this nation, Issues that are supposed to be done using common sense they will put tribal, religion and politics into it and spoils it.

Nbote:
If state govts in Delta , Kogi, Akwa Ibom and Cross River had senses, dey would have long found a way to go about establishing seaports .. We know d FG won't and Lagos won't allow it but its left for dem to woo investors and do d needful

0m0nnakoda:
Why won't Lagos allow it. Where do all these conspiracy theories come from .Akpabio was in power for 8 year with another Niger Delta person as President what did they do?

The port at Ibaka was approved a long time ago by NPA the only thing holding it is money so why did Akpabio choose to build a stadium that we use 4 times a year. Which is of greater value to the people?

Nbote:


Oga go and read my post again. Like I said "if dey had sense".

libertyhope2017:
DECEIVING NIGER DELTANS AGAIN...FOR ALMOST 60 YRS, IT'S NOW YOU WANT TO DIVERT CARGO TO CALABAR AND WARRI? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF "DIVERTING"? LAGOS SHOULD DIVERT ITS CARGO INTERNALLY, NOT GIVING LEFTOVERS TO SS PORTS. OPEN ALL PORTS IN NIGERIA INCLUDING DRY KANGAROO PORT IN KADUNA, AND LET THEM ALL COMPETE. STOP HOLDING OTHERS FROM PROGRESSING ON PURPOSE BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID SOME REGIONS WILL FLOURISH WHEN THEIR PORTS OPEN AKA SS AND SE PORTS.

0m0nnakoda:
The port at Lekki is being built in Partnership with Investors. Lagos state provided land and Tolaram the cash. Why is Tolaram not going elsewhere.
No one threatens people in Lagos for jobs or takes workers hostage or takes coffins to their gates.

Akwa Ibom was lucky under Akpabio to enjoy $100 oil . Delta state was lucky under Ibori. Where is the Money
