The management of the port expects to handle between 10 and 12 percent of the 60 percent national cargo that goes to the South East within the first year of its operation.   They plan to handle about 70 percent of the 60 percent national cargo on or before the fifth year of operation.   Initially, the port would be receiving about 70,000 20-foot containers and 20,000 40-foot containers.    By the fifth year, it is planned that the port would be handling over 800,000 40-foot containers. Another major highlight is that it is important to further dredge the Niger to ensure that the full potentials of the Onitsha River Port, and also the Lokoja and Oguta post, are achieved.   Dredging would also
