The Federal Government has issued a Certificate of Compliance for the Bakassi Deep Seaport Project, signaling a major step forward in Nigeria’s maritime infrastructure development. The certification confirms that the project meets all regulatory and safety standards, paving the way for its operational commencement.

Officials say the development is expected to boost trade, create jobs, and strengthen Nigeria’s position as a regional shipping hub. The Bakassi Deep Seaport, once completed, will handle large cargo vessels, enhance logistics efficiency, and reduce congestion at existing ports.

This milestone underscores the government’s commitment to expanding the country’s port capacity and promoting economic growth through strategic infrastructure investments.
