Giving an update on the recently approved Badagry deep seaport, Bello-Koko said that proposals had been received for the establishment of other seaports in the country.
“If we look at what happened in the Lekki Deep seaport, it took at least three years and we expect that in the next three to four years, another deep seaport will come up. So, the Badagry deep seaport has the Federal Government’s approval. The other ports are still developing and a proposal has been set up for all these port locations and we are working with the Federal Ministry of Transportation and other government agencies to ensure that the business case is properly developed. I believe that after the issue of financial construction, most of them would have concluded their financial arrangement, approvals, and some of them will be working, and we expect to see at least one or two seaports in the next four to five years.”
