The governor of Delta State Sheriff Oborevwori is pushing for the revitalisation of the Warri, Koko, Sapele, and Burutu ports.

Before visiting the ports, the NPA Board of Directors, under the direction of its chairman, stopped by Government House in Asaba, where Governor Oborevwori reaffirmed his dedication to reviving Delta’s ports and emphasized the financial gains that would result from their best usage.
The team proceeded to Warri to evaluate the port’s condition following the courtesy visit. There, they discussed the issues impacting operations in a comprehensive meeting with port management and important stakeholders.
