Onne Port Wants Investors At Notore Jetty
The management of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Onne Complex, has appealed to foreign and local investors to invest in its Notore jetty.
The jetty is located along Notore Creek in the Onne Port complex.
Port Manager, Onne Port Complex, Alhasan Ismaila Abubakar, made the call on Wednesday, in an interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt.
The manager said the jetty waterfront is over 9 kilometres in length with potentials for jetty development and vast backup land for logistics base and production outfits.
He called on investors to come to the jetty and develop the corridor to attract business opportunities.
Alhasan assured that NPA would provide all the necessary facilities and support required to make the corridor generate revenue.
The jetty, according to him, handled two vessels in 2019 with 30,108 MT of Urea export, adding that the jetty, when fully operational, would generate huge revenue for the government and encourage more employments.
On corporate social responsibility (CSR), Alhasan said the port in 2019 empowered its host communities by providing them with waste bin silos, construction of culverts, clearing of drainages and filling of marshy land for the temporary location of Onne Market.
The manager appealed to companies operating in the complex to also provide CSR for their host communities to avoid youth restiveness.
