The Federal Government has said that the Bonny, Warri seaports in Rivers and Delta States would commence operations soon.
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo who made this known on Wednesday, said the current administration would complete the development of all seaports.
He also said the Federal Government has invested significantly in the Niger Delta as the region holds the energy resources that has powered the nation’s progress for six decades.
“The Federal Government is developing a number of deep seaports across the region, including the Bonny, Warri and Ibom Deep Sea Ports, among other development projects such as the establishment of Export Processing Zones to boost economic activities, which will be operational soon,” he said.
“…the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an equally adverse impact on global energy demand and hence on our earnings. Thus, the current situation, more than ever before, calls for a creative and holistic approach to the task of fostering economic growth,” he added.
