Buhari will also later hold a campaign rally in Minna, the Niger State capital, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Tayo Fadile, general manager in charge of Corporate Affairs, National Inland Waterways Authority, said the new port is fitted with a Mobile Harbour Crane, Transit shed and an Administrative block.

Fadile said: “It is also equipped with facilities such as water hydrant system, water treatment plant, reach stacker, 100KVA power generating set and three forklifts of various tonnages, among others.

“Baro Port is one of the river ports being built by the Federal Government to support the dredging of the Lower River Niger project.

“The Baro river port is expected to create at least 2,000 direct jobs and hundreds of thousands indirect jobs.

“It will help keep off the road several heavy duty trailers and trucks, thereby extending the life span of our roads,’’ Fadile said in a statement. He said that NIWA had started upgrading the road network linking the port.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the police command in Niger deployed 1,711 security officers to provide adequate security before, during and after President Muhammadu Buhari’s one day official visit to the state.

The president’s official visit to Niger is billed for Saturday, January 19. The commissioner of police in the state, Dibal Yakadi, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Minna on Friday, January 18.

Yakadi said that an effective operational order on how to provide security at each of the places that the President was expected to visit had since been issued to the officers deployed for that purpose.

He said President Buhari was expected to inaugurate the Baro River Port, Presidential Lodge at Baro in Agaie local government area, as well as launch the All Progressives Congress, Presidential Campaign rally at the Trade Fair Complex in the metropolis.
