Pastor Igbasan urged them to use their professional investigative skills and reportage to write, analyze and project to the world the potentials of and benefits, which Port Ondo will bring to the state in particular and Nigeria as a whole.

“Port Ondo is the only area having the size and depth of a real seaport in the country”, he said.

“If You look at all the Ports in Nigeria, from Badagry to Apapa, Onne and Asaba, they are all River Ports. The only place with all the attributes of a Seaport is in Ondo State.

“We have done all the paperwork required by law and also paid the required application fee. Use your talents to tell the world that Port Ondo deserves approval.”

He explained that the State government is working on the Information Ministry to make it meet modern-day publicity of its activities.

He let out that the state would continue to engage the media in its activities to continually portray the government in good light.

Igbasan further disclosed that the state government has been getting national and international awards and recognition as the best in terms of budgetary transparency.

According to him, “A recent Poverty Index Report published by the National Bureau of Statistics says Ondo has the least poverty rate in the country, adding that the state intends to maintain its leading position among states in Nigeria.
