Hon. Amaechi , who was in company of Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN) the Minister of State for Labour and Employment and Dr. Nasiru Ladan Argungu, the National Directorate of Employment also appealed to the youths of the area to support the forthcoming project.
The trio were in the state to present starter packs, micro enterprise enhancement loans and resettlement packages to 1,700 women and youths under the National Directorate of Employment empowerment programme.
While urging youths to ensure the project goes on smoothly when it takes off Amaechi also revealed that a similar Sea Port will be built in Bonny, Bonny local government area of Rivers state
“We are building a brand new Sea Port in Pessu. It will cost 800 million dollars. When you stop them from working you are losing such a huge investment where the entire community can be contractors, some can supply sand.
“There is also the Bonny sea Port that is coming. The best thing to do is allow the development. Imagine the companies that have left Warri, let the Sea Port project go on smoothly,” the minister appealed.
