Plans have been concluded for the commissioning of Onitsha River Port Complex by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan today, August 30th, 2012 amid a push for more investments in the nation’s waterway system.
The President and other key government dignitaries will be hosted by the Honourable Minister of Transport, Senator Idris A. Umar; Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi and the Managing Director/CEO of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Arc Ahmed Yar’Adua at the commissioning ceremony.
The Onitsha river port project is also expected to boost economic and commercial activities at that Eastern flank of the country as importers have started taking advantage of the new port facility to re-consign their cargoes.
In a statement, Mr. Tayo Fadile, NIWA Deputy General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said the commissioning followed an extensive overhaul of the nation’s largest river port, complete with new and state of the art facilities, warehouses and equipment such as cranes and forklifts.
