The Sea Empowerment and Research Centre has stated that the Oguta River Port project in Imo State has the potential to handle over 35 per cent of marine business in Nigeria and create over 2 million jobs.
SEREC, in a statement on Thursday by its Head of Research, Eugene Nweke, urged the Nigerian Ports Authority to leverage its expertise and resources to drive the development of the project.
According to the group, the call to action was prompted by the policy thrusts of the NPA’s Managing Director, Dr. Abubakar Dantsoho, which emphasise adding administrative impetus towards the evolution of the modern ports regime centred on trade facilitation, effectiveness, and efficiency.
SEREC opined that the development of the Oguta River Port project is a crucial step towards achieving this vision.
