class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing newsmen on Saturday after a tour on the project facilities, the lawmakers, led by Senator Bima Mohammed, identified lack of access road, maintenance dredging and other operational components as factors hindering the full take-off of the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Read Also:&nbsp;<a

Niger<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Bima stressed that, \u201cThe components that are delaying the full take-off of this project are mainly the road, the rail and the maintenance dredging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is something that can be done even in one year. It is not rocket science; it is something that can be done easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/dailynigerian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Buhari-while-commissioning-the-Baro-Port-project-in-2019-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"FILE: Buhari while commissioning the Baro Port project in 2019\" class=\"wp-image-193562\"\/><figcaption>FILE: Buhari while commissioning the Baro Port project in 2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the backdrop of the high rate of unemployment in the country, Baro port was projected to bring about thousands of direct and indirect jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are therefore pleading with the Federal Government to strive for its completion before the end of this administration in 2023, so that the economic revolution everyone believes an inland port will engender, will stop being perpetually postponed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Bima said that for the port to become optimally operational, there was need for the maintenance dredging so that the river would be de-silted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe dredging of the Lower River Niger that was carried out from Warri down to Baro was a commendable effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHowever, the river is now silted. Therefore, we are calling for maintenance dredging so that the river will be de-silted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRoads that link the port must be promptly constructed or rehabilitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is noteworthy that across the north, dry ports are springing up; their functionalities would not be optimal if a link to an inland port is not made easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTherefore, the Lambata-Bida and Agaie-Katcha-Baro and Baro-Abaji roads, should be promptly constructed or rehabilitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBaro has been linked to a rail since the colonial era. The rail has however, stopped functioning for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are therefore calling for the modernisation of the rail, because a multi-modal transport system will optimise functions of the port,\u201d the senator said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawmaker also urged the government to include the port on its list of projects funded through its Sovereign Wealth Fund, because of the economic importance of the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also speaking, the Port Manager, Tolufashe Bamidele, appealed to the government to fast tract the construction of the road and rail line to attract would-be investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chairman, Agaiye Local Government Council, Hassan Mohammed, said that the downturn of activities at the port had hindered economic activities in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said that most importantly, however, lack of political will was the factor that had militated against take-off of the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is no point to build a port that is about N10 billion worth, and then there is no road network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you bring goods from Lokoja, Kogi, Warri, Delta, how do you take them out? The railway and the roads are not functioning,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team also visited the Etsu (Emir) of Agaie, Yusuf Nuhu, who expressed optimism that the lawmakers\u2019 visit was a sign that the port would soon be functional.(Outlook media). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal and state lawmakers, as well as local council chairmen under the Niger South Senatorial District, have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to see to the completion of the Baro Port project in the state.
