The federal government is to build a new seaport in Warri, Delta State, the Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi said Thursday.
The port will be sited at Pessu, Warri, Delta state at the cost of 800 million dollars.

According to him, “We are building a brand new Sea Port in Pessu, it will cost 800 million dollars. When you stop them from working you are losing such a huge investment where the entire community can be contractors, some can supply sand.
