Chairman of China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC), Mr Fenjian Chen has revealed plans to invest in a dry port in Ibadan, Oyo state, in a bid to decongest the Lagos port and speed up clearance of goods.

According to him, the projects undertaken by the company has 18,000 local employees and hopes to create about 40,000 jobs and help Nigeria shore up its infrastructures.

Chen made this known on Friday when he led a high-powered Chinese delegation on a visit to meet President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.

“The sum of $250 million dollars will be invested on a dry port in Ibadan, Oyo State, and it will decongest the ports in Lagos, and speed up clearance of goods by the Customs Service.

“Part of projects CRCC is undertaking include railway, dry port, free trade zone, and building of highways. About 40,000 more jobs are to be created from these.”

President Buhari who played host to the Chinese team lauded the company for their “genuine efforts to improve our infrastructural development,” and expressed commitments to them to revive Nigeria’s old infrastructure.

“We are very grateful to China for the effort to rebuild our infrastructure, and for bringing technical expertise to the country. We will give the required and cooperation, so that our old, out of date, and collapsed infrastructure might be turned around.”

He promised to personally pay attention to the many projects being undertaken in the country, for the good of Nigerian people.

lol

SW should continue with industrialising the region.
Let every state in the West feel the impact

Good development in of creation of jobs, opening up the economy with its multiplier effects and reducing the 'confusion' in Lagos.

Can somebody help me tell Governor Obiano to please leverage his bold relationship with President Buhari to reach out to the some Chinese investors for a t venture to build and operate Onitsha port.

This is very bad, every region want port now thinking that's investment.

Brilliant development to help decongest Lagos.

This would have been impossible without the new Lagos-Ibadan railway. Kudos to Amaechi & President Buhari.

Soon the chinese will take that port when you cant pay back the debt.

This Nigeeian romance with China will produce nothing but deformed babies
Mark.my words

Next Level. Haters should eat sh!t

Useless and wicked people/govt, what happen to making River Niger a seaport? Lot of people will not have any business coming to Lagos is the seaport business is decentralized. Yet SW will keep claiming to be accommodating. Lagos is a necessity because of the seaports.

Wailers would soon arrive here now and say China is colonizing Oyo state,they forget that Oyo state also shares boundaries with Benin republic alongside Ogun state.

Useles and wicked people/govt, what happen to making River Niger a seaport?

stupid! How do you make a river into a seaport, there is a reason it is called seaport not riverport.

Every DEVELOPMENT is just skewed to a particular region. Making other regions look less HUMANS or less countrymen.

Too BAD for National Health

Make them just sell the country give China abeg

Ibadan Amaka!!,

Ndi Marginalisation Ajoka!!!,

Why wont Southwest have the Highest Internally Generated Revenue, when Foriegn Direct Investment keeps rushing in from left , right , center. Even local ones like dangote Rifinery, power plants , manufacturing company etc
.
If Nigeria Splits today Our Power Plants Contribution to the National Grid is more than enough to Power only SouthWest 24/7, West Africas largest refinery seats on our land, three of our States (Ogun , Oyo, and Lagos) are now connected with standard guage railway, more states to come onboard, We have the most functional Seaport, with more springing up in ibeju lekki and Ondo state, all internationaly ranked Universities Like Convenant Uni and University Of Ibadan and many more is in Southwest, Our International Airports have so many international carreers coming in daily, almost all embassy are here. while some people keep using there Federal allocation to share kerosine, Build Statue and give lawmakers life Pension we are brain storming on our future, yet they think enving us or hating Tinubu would change anything
