Harboursandport.com: Lagos--- The Anambra State government has entered into partnership with a

Station Limited is expected to serve traders in both Onitsha and Nnewi.
Consultant of the project and National President of the
Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, Tony Iju Nwanbunike, said the
project is fashioned after that of Kaduna ICD.
According to him, “It is about 14,000 TEUs. We have 2
phases. We are doing phase 1 now.
“The whole project is what we should expect because it is large
and they are having an institution there too. So it is going to be a total
composition of train station, bonded terminal, dry port and export station.

Onitsha-Owerri road and 10km to Nnewi.
On how to move containers to the facility when completed he
said, “Just like we are moving containers to Kaduna ICD because the train
station is not working yet. Even in the “Kaduna, we are moving the containers
there without train. Most of them are by roads.
