 President Mahmoud Buhari has unveiled the Lakey Deep Sea port, the largest in Nigeria and the sub-Saharan Africa. Plus, CB News correspondent Lavek Okoyedoko reports that the multi-purpose Deep Sea port offers enormous support to the burgeoning commercial operations across Nigeria and the entire West African region. This is a Lakey Deep Sea port about to be commissioned by the president, Mohamad Buhari. The sea port occupies approximately 65 kilometers to the east of Lagos City covering over 19 hectares of land. The sea port is bordered to the south by the Atlantic Ocean. After a long wait, the president finally touched ground at 4.35 p.m. to the waiting areas of dignitaries, technocrats, captains of industries, government functionaries, traditional rulers, and a host of others. Straight to the business of the day, the president heads to commission the Lakey Deep Sea port. But just before President Mohamad Buhari cast the tape, the Lagos State Governor Babaji Desawolo gives a preamble of the project. The operator for this project is one of the biggest in the world, CME, from France. And so, Mr. President, you can see that it's been a total combination of federal government, Lagos State, and the private sector. Unlike most project commissioning, President Buhari didn't utter a word while cutting the tape. He moves into the hall where he acknowledged the people. Perhaps his silence is a strong statement. Governor Sawulu quickly fills in the gap, describing the project as the biggest infrastructure in West Africa, bound to generate thousands of jobs in the country. It's going to generate thousands and thousands of jobs directly and hundreds of thousands of jobs indirectly in the entire ecosystem. And so this is your project and we're excited with all of our partners, the Chinese ambassador, the French ambassador, the Singaporeans, and various agencies and regulators have worked tirelessly to bring about the completion. Earlier, during the delivery of goodwill messages, the mds of NPA, NIMASA, and the executive secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council described the commissioning as a game changer in the history of maritime space in Nigeria. The multi-billionaire project is a collaboration between the federal government and Lagos State government, as well as investors. Love you, Kukui Edukun. Plus, TV News.
