The Federal Government has approved the comprehensive modernisation of Onne, Delta, and Calabar ports, along with the establishment of six new deep seaports. The new seaports are Ibom, Bakassi, Agge, Gateway, Ondo, and Bonny. This initiative aims to reduce the excessive concentration of Nigeria's maritime commerce around Lagos, which has caused congestion and higher logistics costs. Stakeholders have long complained about the imbalance between Lagos and Eastern ports.
