Abia Pushes For New Seaport Project
Governor Alex Otti has approved a feasibility study for a proposed seaport in Abia State as part of efforts to expand economic activity.
The decision was announced as the state begins early planning for the project. It is expected to assess viability, location, and long-term benefits.
The move comes as the government explores new ways to boost trade and attract investment. Officials say the study will guide decisions on funding, infrastructure, and partnerships.
The project is also seen as a step toward improving logistics and reducing pressure on existing ports.
The approval reflects the state’s plan to open up new economic opportunities and strengthen regional commerce.
Authorities believe a seaport could support businesses, create jobs, and improve access to international markets.
If found viable, the project could mark a major shift in Abia’s economic direction. The study is expected to provide a clear roadmap before any construction begins.
