Benin youths reject ceding Gelegele seaport to Ijaw
State govt moves to cut waste, digitises treasury receipts, others
Edo State Government, at the weekend, met with over 15 host communities and stakeholders to strengthen ties and build stronger relationships ahead of the completion of the Benin River Port.
Chairman of the project, Greg Ogbeifun, who spoke at an engagement session in Benin City, said the port is a legacy project of the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration, designed to key into the Federal Government’s economic diversification drive from oil into agriculture and agro-allied business.
Ogbeifun, who disclosed that the governor had approved the engagement of CPCS Transaction, a consortium of specialist firms from Canada, Belgium and Nigeria to provide transaction advisory services on the project, said the project would be developed through Public Private Partnership (PPP).
