Aiyedatiwa emphasized that the project is not a mere campaign promise but a carefully planned initiative designed to unlock the vast economic potential of the state’s extensive coastline. According to him, all necessary engagements with relevant federal authorities, investors, and technical partners are being intensified to ensure timely delivery.

Aiyedatiwa reiterated that he would not leave office without laying a solid and irreversible foundation for the deep seaport, adding that the project represents a legacy investment that will drive economic prosperity for generations to come.

The declaration has renewed optimism among stakeholders and residents, who view the Ondo Deep Seaport as a transformative initiative capable of reshaping the state’s economic landscape and accelerating its development trajectory.
