MOGADISHU, Somalia — The Minister of Ports and Marine Transport for the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E. Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, today led a foundational ceremony for a new infrastructure project to construct modern roads within the Mogadishu Port.
This development is set to significantly enhance the port’s operational efficiency by facilitating smoother logistical movements and will also improve the overall aesthetics of the vital national facility.
The foundation stone laying ceremony was attended by a high-level delegation, including the General Manager of the Mogadishu Port Authority, Ambassador Mohamed Ali Nur (America), the port’s deputy managers, and the Head of the Mogadishu Alport Company.
The construction of these internal roads is a key component of a broader series of development and modernization projects currently underway at the nation’s capital port.
These initiatives are designed to expand capacity and solidify the port’s reputation as a key maritime hub in the region. The accelerated pace of development follows recent recognition of the Mogadishu Port as one of the best-service and most advanced ports in Africa.
Officials noted that this growing positive reputation has directly contributed to a redoubling of work activities, with the port now operating around the clock, day and night, to meet increasing logistical demands.
