The Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), has urged exporters in Edo/Delta region to use the Koko port for the exportation of their goods. Fred-Ileogben said that using the port for export would reduce their stress, and resources they spend rather than the Lagos port which he noted was already congested. “We are promoting the use of other ports, specifically the ports in the Edo/Delta region – Koko port and ANES- Edo Dry Port. “The Koko port is functional and less than an hour drive from the heart of Benin. “Large vessels come into the port to load export products but not much is known about the port.
