Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday commissioned the $8 million Port Harcourt Dockyard Liquid Waste Treatment Plant in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Commissioning the project, Osinbajo said the facility was in line with the Build, Operate and Transfer Agreement between African Circle and the federal government.
A former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), said the company was a necessary addition to the maritime sector.
The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Transportation, Sabiu Zakari, said government would give the company all the necessary support in the spirit of ease of doing business policy.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, urged the vice president to prevail on the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to work with the state government to create the right environment for development.
