As part of the ceremony, the cargo ship Mozart, owned by French shipping company CMA CGM, unloaded its containers.

The Managing Director, Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Prof. Adesoji Adesugba, recalled when the construction of the port began in June, 2020, very few Nigerians believed that it would become a reality, especially with the challenges of COVID 19 ravaging the country and the entire world at that period. write your comments about the article :: © 2023 Construction News :: home page |
