Dry Ports, TTPs Would Create Jobs-NSC

Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, Executive Governor, Oyo State with Hassan Bello, Executive Secretary/CEO, Nigerian Shippers’ Council, NSC

The Nigerian Shippers’ Council has entered into partnership with the Oyo State Government for the development of Inland Dry Port (IDP) and Truck Transit Park (TTP) in conjunction with some Chinese investors in the state.

The partnership arrangement was unfolded when the Executive Secretary/CEO of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) Mr. Hassan Bello, paid a courtesy visit to the Oyo State Governor, His Excellency, Senator Abiola Ajimobi at the Governor’s Office Ibadan, Oyo State.

Bello said that collaborating with the Oyo State Government on the establishment of IDP will bring about a lot of developments to the Nigerian economy, stressing that Oyo State was critical to the development of transportation in view of its strategic location.

According to him, since 2006, the federal government had taken a decision to establish Inland Dry Ports in the six geo-political zones of the country.

Describing transportation as a driving force in the national economy, the ES/CEO said that the establishment of IDP and TTP in the state will provide job opportunities and create wealth for the state.

Bello also said the ongoing rail project being championed by the Ministry of Transport will be a big boost to the IDPs as it will help decongest the heavy traffic on the road as well as facilitate easy movement of goods from Lagos ports to different locations in the country.

He disclosed that the proposed TTP alone would gulp N4.8 billion through the Public Private Partnership (PPP), adding that the facilities will include shopping mall, hotels, motels, worship centre, commercial banks, restaurants among others.

Bello explained that the idea of TTP was to have a secured and convenient place for truck drivers to have as resting places while moving goods from one location to the other.

He noted that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed recently with the Chinese investors for the development Ibadan Dry Port project, adding that the interest shown by the investors was in consideration of the strategic importance of Ibadan.

Bello therefore solicited the support of Oyo state government for their allocation of the land for the development of the Truck Transit Park

His Excellency the Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi who was impressed by the two concepts, assured the Council of the support of the administration and called on the Council to hasten the paper works required for the projects to begin.

He said that there was no reason the state should not have started the project much earlier, considering the geographical and human capital advantages Oyo state has over other states.

The Governor said that the project would cause a remarkable reduction in road carnage, improvement in economic activities and job opportunities.

He therefore, called for a Committee to be set up between the two partners for a successful and speedy implementation of the project.
