<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
” The development of rail and water ways transportation modes in Nigeria was envisaged to prop up operations of the inland water ways with the traditional link up with the road and rail modes for the purpose of providing inter-modal connectivity that will rationalize hinterland haulage and passengers services to be shared by the road, rail and water ways modes that could be at interphase with seaports, pipeline depots and airports. He said”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Director General of the group the construction of river ports is strategically important to the realization of the multi- modal transport development that the ministry of transportation should give it a higher priority.<\/div>\n

“federal government cannot diversify the ecomony through non oil exports without a conscious effort of providing evacuation network for bulky solid minerals and other non oli products which are all more cost effectively move by inland water ways. inland water ways operations are more cost effective efficient and environmentally friendly and can give Nigeria the next level benefit of transportation if so desire that is currently lacking.
