The Federal Government says Nigeria has engaged some West African countries on how to make the country a transhipment hub for the continent.
He noted that the two tug boats were the largest in Africa, adding, “Permit me to seize this opportunity to reiterate that our drive towards deploying Lekki Deep Seaport as launch pad for transshipment remains unwavering and this event today is confirmation of our doggedness on this noble cause.”
Ajani said, “The make and capacity 80-ton bollard pull tug boat is the first in Africa and you can use them for very large vessels. It also has a 360-degree rotational capacity. So trying to navigate any vessel in any direction won’t be a problem with this particular tug boat.” She said for the country to maximise the huge potential in the sector, there was the need to invest in technology.
