Okoh has reiterated the commitment of the President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration to a private sector driven economy; and called on local and international businessmen to take advantage of the government\u2019s open door policy to establish businesses in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">Speaking at the official hand over of the\u00a0Terminal \u2018B\u2019 Warri Old Port to the concessionaire- Ocean &amp; Cargo Terminal Services Limited in Warri, Delta State on Monday, February 11, 2019, the Director General noted that the Nigerian Ports are the main gateway to the country; and are key to the Federal Government\u2019s objective of diversifying and growing the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">He pointed out that the objective of the government port concession is to increase efficiency at the ports with the ultimate goal to modernize the ports to make them more competitive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">\u201cThe objective of the government in port concession is to increase efficiency in our ports, improve service delivery, upgrade and modernize facilities in the ports, reduce cost of shipping and clearing of goods at the ports and relieve the government of the burden of financing the sector\u201d, he stressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">According to him, the concession is for a period of 25 years at an annual lease fee of US$1,621,500, in addition to the entry fee and monthly throughput fee chargeable on the volume of cargo handled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">He assured that the implementation of the covenanted development plan for the Concessionaire would be closely monitored by the relevant government agencies including the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), BPE and Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">Also speaking, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman represented by the Executive Director, Marine and Operations of the NPA, Sokonte Davies said the concessioning of port facilities was carried out to enhance productivity and attract more cargos to the hitherto abandoned port.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">While appealing to the people in the port community to support government\u2019s initiatives aimed at developing the maritime industry, Davies said the port concession would enhance the economy of Delta State and create jobs for people in the host communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">\u201cWe, therefore, implore the communities, in making the government\u2019s efforts a success; they should work positively with the concessionaire; the communities should try not to put any pressure on them because pressures can shut the business down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">\u00a0\u201cBut if the communities support them, they will see that as activities increase and vessels come, it will increase the engagement of young men and women, even the old people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">\u201cThe communities will be positively impacted because the economy will grow and it will have positive effect on every area of life of the people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">\u201cWe are using this opportunity to appeal to the host communities to help this one to work. It is working in other places, don\u2019t let yours be different\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">The Port Manger (Delta Ports), Mr. Simon Okeke said the additional terminal to the port is a milestone which will increase maritime activities at the port. He stated that the port now has a lot of facilities especially with the dredging of the Escravos Channel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">Okeke implored the Concessionaire to introduce a linear vessel to the port to boost business activities and expressed the confidence that business men at Nnewi, Onitsha in Anambra State and other adjoining communities will now patronize the port.<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\"><b>Amina\u00a0 Tukur Othman<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\"><i>Head, Public Communications<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_-1216092935564854308ydpe0d99a15MsoNormal\">February 13, 2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Mr. Alex A.
