The Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company(CCECC) has pledged to work with the Akwa Ibom State government on the Ibaka Deep Seaport project.
CCECC Managing Director in Nigeria Mr Shi Hong Bing told Governor Godswill Akpabio in Abuja that the firm would ensure that the seaport becomes a reality.

Bing, who praised Akpabio for allowing the firm to construct some roads in the state, said it was involved in similar projects in other parts of Africa.
He acknowledged the infra-structural facilities in Akwa Ibom, urging Governor Akpabio to keep up the good work.

Governor Akpabio said it would be fantastic to collaborate with the firm in the construction of the seaport, adding that the committee on the project, which is on a road show, would meet with the company to work out the areas of cooperation.
Chief Akpabio, who described Akwa Ibom as “work in progress”, praised the company for the quality of work it has done in the state.

“CCECC and the government of Akwa Ibom State under my leadership have been good partners. And it is a partnership that has produced results.

“The first road contract that was awarded to your company was delivered in time complete with the best street lights and drainage in the country. And recently we signed a contract for the dualisation of Etinan-Eket road and more jobs are coming.

“It is not a function of lobbying for the job but that of quality, good pricing and record time delivery. We look forward to continuous partnership,” he said.

The governor reiterated that the seaport would promote commerce and complement the port in Lagos and also serve as a major transshipment point for the West African coast. He said the project would also provide employment for many.

If ibaka seaport which is the deepest seaport in nigeria without dredging is completed,it is assumed that it will create close to a 100,000 jobs.if this truely happens before akpabio's tenure comes to an end,then he'll be the best governor to ever rule any state in nigeria.

If Akpabio cannot build all that you mentioned with the Federal Government money given to him monthly, then I wonder who should do all that for you..

So you expect the F.G to build your state while Akpabio can pocket all the 50billion monthly allocation?!
