Our Source disclosed that issues brought before Ag.

The Monarch reportedly spoke on the importance of the projects to the Nation's economy and the Niger Delta in particular and enjoined the federal government to recommence work on the projects.
Ag. President Osinbajo who allegedly gave assurances regarding the issues raised by the Olu of Warri, purportedly stated that concessioning of the ports will adequately address the comatose Koko Port.
