Group To Sensitise Importers, Others On Eastern Ports

The Mariime Energy Media Practitioners of Nigeria (MEMPON), has said that it would embark on sensitisation campaign  to educate importers, agents and industrialists on the  need  to patronise  the Eastern  Ports.
National President of MEMPON, Dr Ralph John, who disclosed this in his address during a summit organised by the association  in Port Harcourt  recently, said such  campaign  would be carried in  major business environments and markets.
Some of the places he earmarked for the sensitisation campaign   are the  popular  Ariaria Market in Aba and Ochanja market in Onitsha, Anambra State and other avenues to woo importers to Eastern Ports.
The MEMPON leader, however, called  for synergy among operators and media practitioners in the maritime and energy sector  so as to upgrade and develop businesses in the sectors.
“MEMPON encourages maritime and energy players to make use of credible and ever skillful pool of e  experienced media  practitioners to solve intractable  challenges facing them.
“That is actually the reason for the  theme of this summit, Reviving the Economy through Constructive and Effective Maritime, Energy Media Engagement”.
“We call on all chieftains in the Industries, Maritime and Energy and governors of oil-producing states,  traditional rulers,  technocrats  to make effective use of  MEMPON platform to inform, and educate your public of Progress in the economic development of the nation. We request for financial  support to facilitate various  activities of MEMPON”,  John stated.
The four ports that made up the Eastern  Ports are Port Harcourt port complex,  Onne port, the     Warri  port and Calabar ports.
