The Ministerial Project Development and Steering Committee (MPDSC), has commended the Akwa Ibom State Government for compliance with all the requirements needed for the establishment of the Ibom Deep Seaport.

The Chairman of the committee, A.D Suleiman gave the commendation during a meeting with members of the Akwa Ibom State Technical Working Committee for the realization of the Ibom Deep Seaport at Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort, Uyo.

The chairman explained that the purpose of the meeting was to update members on the progress so far achieved for the Ibom Deep Seaport project.

He said one key factor that necessitated the meeting was to provide an avenue for the adoption of the updated Full Business Case for unward submission to the Federal Executive Council.

Mr Suleiman expressed gratitude to the Akwa Ibom State Government for the level of commitment shown towards the actualisation of the port, assuring that the project will soon receive final approval from the Federal Government for commencement of operations.

On his part, the Director General of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Engr. Chidi Izuwah, opined that, with the level of success recorded by the Akwa Ibom State Technical Working Committee on the realization of the Ibom Deep Seaport, it is time to break grounds for take off of the project.

He urged the committee to be target driven in order to achieve the task

The Chairman, Akwa Ibom State Technical Committee on the realization of Ibom Deep Seaport, Mrs. Mfon Usoro, affirmed that with the support received from Infrastructural Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Nigeria Port Authority(NPA) and the Federal Ministry of Transportation(FMOT), the Committee has been able to go through all the internationally accepted procurement processes that will lead to the actualisation of the port.

“We have also completed works in the Full Business Case, a part of why we convened today with the Federal Ministry of Finance, ICRC, NPA, and the FMOT, was to agree on work-plan between now and end of first quarter of the year, 2020 so we can have final approval from the Federal Government on the project which is the Full Business Case”. She opined.

Mrs. Usoro disclosed that “the Committee had carefully followed the Federal Government laid down procedures for port development and the process has earned the State a reputable and biggest terminal operator in Africa with the Bollore Power China Consortium as the preferred bidder”.

While thanking the State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel for putting everything in place for the implementation of the project, the Chairman assured Akwa Ibom indigenes especially host communities that they will be carried along at every stage of development.

She emphasized the need for them to acquire and upgrade themselves in the requisite skills that would be needed during construction and operations of the port.

On his part, the State Commissioner for Economic Development and Ibom Deep Seaport, Mr. Akan Okon, also applauded Governor Emmanuel for his passion in developing the State.

He also thanked members of the committees for the efforts put towards the actualisation of the Seaport project.

Mr. Okon asserted that upon actualisation, the port will create lots of employment opportunities for the teeming youths as well as increase revenue for both the Federal and State Government.

Looking forward

Nice nice . Where are those clowns that masturbate about AKSG doing this and that. I'm waiting on that. Armchair critic

The FEC should approve the project expediently. I would also like Amaechi to plan a north south rail for this project. It would reduce the amount truck that will inevitably come into Akwa Ibom. Then the FG could make money on freight shipping.

The schools in Akwa Ibom should be offering skills training if they arent already. The state has it's own university and polytechnics. Even the highshools could prep graduates on it.

simply build a rail from the port to connect to aba and join the already existing ph to maidugiri rail line

A standard guage rail line is preferable.

. With the kind of politics we play in this country, i doubt the fec will give the final approval any time soon. Not in the next ten years.

Lol hopefully they're done in less than a year. IDSP success is money in the governments pockets since they own a stake in it. The FG has been fast with IDSP compared to how tediously slow they were with Lekki Deep seaport. Lekki was approved 2003 and construction recently began. IDSP was approved in 2015.

I like this. Diversifying is always important.

Love is already in the air. I felt it this morning when Harmattan refused to let me outta the bed.
So much love.

Anyways, I offer Graphics design services. Be sure to contact me if you want love design

Watch how some developers and Land grabbers would rush to Akwa Ibom and claim no mans land

I must say i have huge respect for Akwa Iboms past and present Governors, they are strategical about diversifying from oil
*They built world class Stadiums and backed it with 5 star hotels and several golf resot and to crown it the started their own Airline Routing Lagos and Abuja.. this is tourism master peice
*now they are about finishing their own seaport and to crown it up an industrial estate is being built and almost completed,
*If only the can build their own Intergrated Power Project and the development and industrilization would be astronomical

This is why Vissionary Politician like Tinubu, Ameachi, Akpabio, Udom, Ganduje, Kwankwaso and Fashola can never ever do any wrong in my eyes

Good one

In Mama Peace's voice:
Since I left this Aso Rock, it is smelling. There is God o, There is God oo

I thought it was Soleimani

NaijadrivaCars:

God bless His Excellence President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR)

This man is a blessing in disguise.

At a very slow and steady pace, Sectors are springing up and rising to the challenge.

Now I am forced to agree, He was God sent.

But just Jesus, He was hated by his very own people and later appreciated after demise.

Buhari deserves an applause

Never shall we go back to the days of PDP (Corona Virus)

Niger Delta states are so blessed that you don't even need good governance for them to be developed But they remained underdeveloped thanks to active effort of underdevelopment by certain people including greedy ex governors of N.D states and past military rulers from the north but I'm happy things are getting better however it is too slow

And this is private and state effort not buhari effort

while there northern counterparts are busy with their 4 wives

Biafra is blessed,, I feel sorry for head slamming Morons

if you cant read atleast stop embarrasing Buhari like onochie does..

its a state government project, Buhari's administration through this post only commended Akwa Ibom for meeting international standard, buhari has zero kobo in it and when Obasanjo aproved it buhari was somewhere in ANPP making noise

.

But since it didn't meet the minimum requirements. It's considered invalid
