private sector to do business.
“While commending all the parties
to this landmark project, I want to commend very specially the Honourable
Minister of Transportation, whose zeal has continued to drive this project; he
keeps talking about it all the time. In the cabinet, he talks about it all the
time, so I want to commend him for the way he has pushed this project.
“Let me say that we must move
ahead to ensure the speedy completion of this project. There will be problems
as I am sure you have experienced some, but be assured that the Federal
Government and the Lagos State government, will be with you every step of the
way to ensure that we give all the support required.
“The development of this deep sea
port is mission critical to the achievement of the important objective of
creating Special Economic Zones.
“It is the commitment of our
economic philosophy to private sector leadership of our economic development
efforts.
“Be assured that the Federal
Government and the Lagos State government, will be with you (on this project)
every step of the way to ensure that we give all the support required.”
