Governor Alex Otti has commenced the process for a feasibility study on the proposed Abia State Seaport at Azumini, in partnership with China Harbour Engineering Company, CHEC.
The Azumini Seaport project will be designed to position Abia as a gateway economy in the Southeast, opening direct maritime access for Aba’s industrial cluster and the wider region.
If delivered, it would cut cargo costs for manufacturers, decongest Lagos ports, and create a new logistics corridor linking Abia to global trade routes through the Imo/Azurnini Blue River.
The feasibility study will cover technical, economic, environmental, and social viability, including dredging requirements, port design, road and rail linkages, and private-sector financing models.
For Abia, this is strategic infrastructure: it ties Gov. Otti’s “Rebuild Abia” agenda to job creation, export competitiveness, and long-term revenue.
For Nigeria, an Azumini port means a third functional port corridor alongside Onne and Ibom Deep Sea Port.
