Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has said the
planned Ondo Sea Port Project will not be abandoned.
The Governor disclosed that some investors have expressed
interest in the project already but that its take-off was being delayed because
of approval from the federal government.
He disclosed this on Friday while speaking at a retreat
organised for state political office holders and accounting officers, held at
Owo, headquarters of Owo Local Government Area of the state.
While emphasizing his administration’s commitment to the development of the Ondo Deep Seaport project, Akeredolu said once completed, the port will service not only Nigeria but the entire West African region.
While describing the delay in the commencement of the Port
project as one of the consequences of federalism, the Governor suggested that
states be allowed to build their seaports if investors show commensurate
interest.
He emphasized that nothing will prevent the project from
becoming a reality and that when it does, it will produce a large number of job
opportunities.
