The Nation Newspaper Moves on to drive vessel traffic to Onne, Warri, Calabar ports
The Federal Government says one of its main priorities in the Maritime sector is to boost patronage of the Eastern Ports of Onne, Rivers, Calabar and Warr by importers and exporters.
He commended the management of the Nigerian Ports Authority and promised to grant prompt approvals to initiatives that would enable continuous improvement in the performance of all Nigerian ports. “Deepening the efficiencies and full capacity utilization of the strategic advantages of Onne and other Port Complexes in the eastern axis constitutes one of the tools we are deploying in actualising the Key Performance Indicators assigned to us under the Presidential Performance Bond. We are now poised more than ever before to give the Nigerian Ports Authority all the backing necessary to address all factors responsible for the underutilization of these national assets.
“Although issues concerning the potential of Onne have always dominated my correspondences with the NPA, I must say that this visit further convinces me that so much more can be achieved if we invest more in our Port infrastructure such as we are doing with the over $1billion worth of reconstruction/rehabilitation investment in our ports, including Onne which is at its conclusive stage.
