PROPOSED SEA PORT IN OBEAKU- NDOKI AND AZUMIRI SEAPORTS IN ABIA STATE.

Obuaku Ndoki Port in Abia State is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean from the confluence of Imo River and Azumiri (blue River) which is a large and deep body water of high flowing and rich rivers. Azumiri Blue River is also 25-30 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean for a big Seaport

http://www.southeastnigeria.com/some-answers-to-the-the-proposed-sea-port-in-abia-state-joi-john/

Ever since the Abia State Government announced their intention to bring a Sea Port to the state, there have been many questions raised. I reached out to a source at the Government House, Umuahia to obtain clarity. I was told that the proposed location for the seaport is in Obuaku, Ukwa West, LGA. Right in Obuaku, there is a confluence point where the Imo River and the Blue River meet. The Obuaku confluence passes through Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom State. In Rivers state for instance, (along Bonny River) we have Portharcourt Seaport and we have the Sea Port located in Onne, Eleme L.G.A. Onne,This is Nigeria’s busiest sea port and ranks as the largest sea port in west Africa. Did you know that while Rivers State (Porharcourt Sea Port) sits 40 nautical miles away from the Atlantic Ocean and Onne Port in River State along Bonny River sits 50 Nautical Miles away from the Atlantic Ocean.But Obuaku Blue River and Azumiri Rivers is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean? To some, this talk about a sea port in Abia state may sound unrealistic but, it is not far fetched. Even if it does not get realized now, this legacy project will come to fruition in no distant time. - See more at: http://www.southeastnigeria.com/some-answers-to-the-the-proposed-sea-port-in-abia-state-joi-john/#sthash.pUVpKDB2.dpuf

Igboland is not landlocked according to United Nation treaty, International law OF THE Sea and African Union laws. Igboland has many Rivers, Canals, Waterways, Lake and bays in Imo State, Anambra state, Anioma, Asaba and Abia States which flows into the Atlantic Oceans and the Sea and many a distance of 30 minutes drive.
FACTS ON GROUND
Development of a Sea-Port at Obuaku-Ndoki: many Nigerians, even including many enlightened sons and daughters of Nd’igbo, had, out of geographical ignorance, borne the impression that the South-East of Nigeria is land-locked. But being a visionary leader, the truth is now being made manifest that the Blue River/Imo River confluence at Obuaku-Ndoki is only twenty-five nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean. We are thankful that Abia state Government is working committedly to establishing a sea-port at the confluence town of Obuaku.
AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY THE PEOPLE OF ABIA-SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE ON THE OCCASION OF A GRAND CIVIC RECEPTION FOR HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR T. A. ORJI (OCHENDO GLOBAL) AT ABIA STATE POLYTECHNIC, ABA ON 1ST FEBRUARY, 2014.

"further inward by thinking of laying a bigger foundation of economy for not only Abia State but the whole of the South-East geo-political zone by formally conceptualizing the establishment of a sea-port at Obeaku-Ndoki, in Ukwa-East Local Government Area.
Embarking on a road map that will ginger his successor to see to the realization of a sea-port in Abia State, would correct the erroneous impression widely held by uninformed Nigerians that the South-East zone of Nigeria is land-locked. This is very far from the truth.The Imo River, which originates from Umuaku in Isuochi of Umunneochi Local Government Area meandered its way up to Obeaku-Ndoki, from where it emptied itself into the Atlantic Ocean. It is very strategic to mention that the distance between Obeaku-Ndoki and the Atlantic Ocean, which commences not far from Igwenga in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area of Akwa-Ibom State, is only twenty-five nautical miles.For the avoidance of doubt, any zone that enjoys a proximity of even thirty nautical miles to a maritime endowment such as the Atlantic Ocean, should not in any way categorize itself as being land-locked. For the benefit of those who do not know, Port-Harcourt wharf is about forty nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean. It was dredged and scooped during the Premiership of Dr. M.I. Okpara during the defunct Eastern Region for ships to berth therein. If Port-Harcourt wharf could be made accessible to ships despite its fourty-nautical-mile distance to the Atlantic Ocean, it justifiably stands to reason that Obeaku-Ndoki Wharf, which is only twenty-five nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean, could be more readily and profitably accessed by ships. Since Nigeria parades a galaxy of consultants in marine engineering, obtaining professional advice in this regards may not be far from reach."

I love this

I honestly don't bother about all their noise. I don't have to prove anything to idiots.

Let me sit tight while the geographers slug it out. Afonjas, Igbos, Ab.okis etc food is done and ready. Me, I am watching all the way from aba, the yeast dustbin.

why are you not honest for God sake?
When bifra part away biafra land is landlocked!
when biafra land is in Nigeria, biafra land is land open!
ok!

The founder and father of the current ceo of diamond bank is from abia right

We need 200bn and this project is set another 100bn we have rail connected from the port to Aba
We already have a gas pipeline in Aba from afam so independent power can be done with say 20bn
So all in all 320bn this is a done project in say 7 years

When I say what we lack in Igbo lands is leadership ....sell this idea to abia people me see how they will raise the money ment in 1 year that's what visionary leadership can do

We can't wait for federal government all the time
Request for the permission to do it They Dre not refuse cos with media the whole world will know

This is what ipob need to seek not the rubbish they do

We need to get the Igbo leadership right first

People should face facts. There is no direct access to the sea for the entire 5SE states. To get to the sea you must pass Rivers or Akwa Ibom. It's very easy to see just looking at the maps.

Any ship worst comes to worst we can build a platform like stuff or rig at sea to transfer to smaller ships to get inland ....baba any way na way

No part of South Nigeria is landlocked for Seaport development. Even north central isn't landlocked. Is just that FG don't just want to make all regions Economic viable. So bad

Note that everything related to shipping is under the Nigerian governments exclusive list.

There's a federal government agency called NPA, Nigerian Ports authority. Only them decides where a ship will dock in Nigeria.

Can u see where am going?

In other words, if other states deny you access you are not going anywhere. Iboland is landlocked!
