Shettima flags off Bakassi Deep Seaport project in Cross River

Vice President Kashim Shettima on Friday visited Bakassi, Cross River State, for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Bakassi Deep Seaport Project.

The multibillion-dollar project is expected to boost Nigeria’s maritime infrastructure, open new trade routes, attract domestic and foreign investment and create employment opportunities.

The project is also expected to unlock the economic potential of Cross River State and surrounding communities, while strengthening Nigeria’s position as a major maritime and commercial hub in West Africa.

It forms part of President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to build a more productive and competitive Nigerian economy.
