The feds finally handed over the compliance certificate for the Bakassi Deep Seaport. The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, gave the paper to Cross River State's Governor, Bassey Otu, in Abuja. This follows a sign-off from the Federal Executive Council. Officials are framing this as a big win for President Tinubu's economic plans.

Oyetola called the port a key national project that could make Nigeria a major player in shipping and logistics. He promised continued federal support to get it built. Governor Otu treated the certificate as a historic step toward unlocking Nigeria's maritime economy. He thanked Tinubu for creating the ministry and appointing Oyetola to run it.

The Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission boss, Jobson Ewalefoh, labeled the port a potential game changer. It's supposed to create a new trade route for the country's northern regions and solidify Nigeria as a logistics center for West and Central Africa. The goal is to ease pressure on current ports and boost trade revenue.
