Sanwo-Olu Criticized for Opposing Development of Warri, Onne, Calabar Ports

Lagos State Governor Sanwo-Olu is under fire for resisting the expansion of ports in Warri, Onne, and Calabar, which are part of efforts by the Nigerian Ports Authority to decongest heavily burdened Lagos ports. Critics argue that Sanwo-Olu's stance could hinder economic growth in other regions and perpetuate the overreliance on Lagos ports, leading to gridlock and inefficiencies.

The joint statement signed by maritime editor Lome, President Remi Iti, and Secretary General Felix Kumuyi highlights concerns about the negative impact of Sanwo-Olu's comments on port development outside Lagos.
