commissioning, LEADERSHIP can report.
The Baro River Port in Niger State was awarded in 2011 at a cost of
N2,563,499,248.00 by the Federal Executive Council to Messrs CGGC Global
Projects Limited The project has been completed but abandoned and left
in ruins before the current management resuscitated and turned it into
use.
Managing director/CEO of NIWA, Senator (Dr.) Adeleke Olorunnimbe Mamora
speaking at the weekend after he visited the Baro River Port to
ascertain the level of work done so far, said the River Port cargo
handling equipment would soon start operation.
Mamora, who was impressed by what he saw while the contractors were
fixing the last equipment, was given assurance by the contractors that
the project will be ready in in the next one week or two. Mamora also
commended the contractors for a job well done and the community for
being a good host and encouraged them to ensure the safety and security
of the River Port.
He said Baro River Port, which is the flagship port in the northern part
of the country, will be commissioned very soon by President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Meanwhile, Mamora has promised to improve his staff welfare. He made the
promise while delivering a speech at the NIWA 2018 end of year party
held at the NIWA headquarters.
Mamora said the NIWA amendment Act is still alive with the National
Assembly and all efforts are being made to ensure the successful passage
of the Amendment Act. He encouraged staff to always put in their best
and promised to pay the thirteenth month salary in order to put smiles
on the faces of the workers during the Christmas season.
