This was made known by a presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, who shared series of videos and photos from the port scene showing containers being offloaded.

He wrote: “So someone just pointed out to me that on the Maersk website, Onitsha is now available as a port of final destination. A vessel departing Shanghai Oct 10 (this Sat) has Onitsha listed as terminal port (arrival Dec 2, 2020).”

Ogunlesi added: “Let me summarize it. Maersk is now (starting 2020) sending container ships direct from China to the Onne Port, without the need to first call at Lagos.

“Now, when the ship berths in Onne, it will be offloaded and the containers going to Onitsha Port will be barged down.”
