Port Manager Lists Operational Constraints
The Manager of Port Harcourt Port, Mr. Dele Alabi, has said
that the bad condition of roads in the port is one of the factors affecting
smooth operations at the harbour.
Alabi made the statement in Port Harcourt recently when
members of the House of Representatives Committee on Marine Transport, led by
its Chairman, Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, visited the port.
He said the management of the port had written to the Rivers
Government for assistance in the rehabilitation of the roads around the
harbour.
He called on the government to take urgent steps to
rehabilitate the roads.
Responding, Ugwuanyi said the committee was at the port as
part of its oversight functions.
“We are here as part
of our constitutional oversight (function). We are here in the Eastern port or
Eastern zone to inspect capital projects and from here we proceed to Lagos for
the Western zone.
“We have no conclusions to make here. Our findings are very
important, both for the information of the house and for budgeting; but,
essentially, the sole purpose of this is in line with our constitutional
mandate of law-making, oversight and representation (functions).
“Today, we are for oversight function,’’ Ugwuanyi said.
He urged the management of the port to articulate all the
challenges facing the port to enable the committee to take the necessary
action, especially for use in the preparation of the 2013 budget.
