This was gathered in a meeting of the Benin River Port (BRP) Project Committee with the governor and the representatives of the Port of Antwerp.

While the chairman of the BRP Project Committee, Mr. Greg Ogbeifun led his team, the manager of Ports Project, Port of Antwerp International, Mr. Phillippee Droesbeke, led the contingents of the Port of Antwerp to the meeting with the governor, which is set to drive the Benin River Ports project to conclusion.

The Benin River Port is among the legacy projects by the governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration to drive industrial and economic growth in Edo. The port, upon completion, will boost export earnings, create employment opportunities, expand the economic value chain and open up new business opportunities in the state.

Speaking on the partnership, Governor Obaseki said, the arrangement will see the Benin Port become both a cargo handling port and an industrial complex to facilitate industrial production in Edo.
