The Minister Adegboyega Oyetola inaugurates the Project D Road and the boat docking station at the Onne Port
The Honorable Minister Adegboyega Oyetola officially launched the Route D project, spanning 4.8 kilometers, as well as the boat docking facility at the Onne port, emphasizing the government’s commitment to fully exploit maritime opportunities. This initiative, in line with presidential directives, places paramount importance on safety in the maritime domain.
Efforts are currently underway to enhance the efficiency of port activities, support the Nigerian Ports Authority in addressing underutilization challenges, and bolster investor confidence in Eastern ports. While celebrating the ISO certification of the Onne and Calabar port complexes, it is universally acknowledged that continued investment in port infrastructure is crucial for ensuring sustainable growth.
During discussions with the Nigerian Ports Authority, the Minister consistently highlighted the significant potential of the Onne port. This recent visit reaffirmed the belief that increased investments in port infrastructure can lead to greater achievements. Ongoing investments in reconstruction and rehabilitation, exceeding one billion US dollars in value, particularly at the Onne port, demonstrate a commitment to unlocking its full potential.
In conclusion of this activity, Minister Adegboyega conducted an on-site evaluation, carefully examining both the Federal Lighter Terminal and the Federal Ocean Terminal, thereby ensuring a comprehensive analysis of port operations.
