His Majesty, Ogiamen Ikenwoli, Olu of Warri has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to open up ports facilities in the Southern and Eastern corridors to help decongest the Lagos ports.

He said; “If the project and the ports in the southern parts of the country are revived, the issue of unemployment, kidnapping and insecurity will be a thing of the past. The over 2,700 hectares park is designed for fertiliser, methanol, petrochemicals and aluminium plants.”

“The ports located at Warri, Sapele, Burutu, Onitsha and Calabar would also serve as a major source of job creation and social stabilisation. We are talking of how to create jobs.”

“We all know that issues of youth restiveness, crime and kidnapping were at their minimal levels when these ports were operational. We will continue to assist in our domain to counsel our youths.”
