It will be budgeted for in the last two budgets of akpabio's administration ie 2014 and 2015 budgets, so keep an eye for next year's budget . groundbreaking will begin next year as soon as funding is made available.

A lot has already been done, the necessary approvals from the federal govt + NPA has been secured. FG has approved a free trade license status for the 16,000Ha ibaka industrial city.

Land procurement for the seaport project has been completed and certificate of occupancy handed over to NPA http://www.nigerianports.org/news.aspx?id=251

Massive survey both on land and water by the technical partners and Architectural design of the project has been completed by Worley Parsons and CCECC respectively http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/detail.php?news=2414&title=Ibaka-Seaport-architectural-design-ready-. This is a major construction work it involves a lot, so be patient.

Etebi- Ewang road with the longest bridge in the state is presently under construction in the state, this will be the major access road to the seaport, it will link the seaport to the east west road and construction of this road has reached advanced stage.

Trust Akpabio he is a promise keeper he has proven this time and time again remember what was said about the airport, stadium and many other projects in the states? today the narrative has changed.

Akpabio does not embark on projects haphazardly he takes his time and goes for the best, thats why he is delivering world class infrastructures.

the ibaka seaport project will be carried out in phases like the airport project. the first phase will be the seaport component and the second phase will involve the Ibaka industrial city and free trade zone development. in all the project has a 25 yrs development cycle.

This administration is determined to make significant inroad in the deep seaport developmental phase. and akpabio is working on that.
So for the past six years, the preliminary things as stated above has been ongoing and dont forget the numerous road shows that the project has taken overseas and nationally to create investors awareness which has yielded much results eg we are talking about it on this thread,but as Nigerians we want the tangible ie beginning of construction.

construction/ groundbreaking will begin next year so be patient,The architectural plans/ designs is already in, and CCECC has stated their readiness to mobilize to site as soon as the green light is given. Also bear in mind that a big project of this scope which involves FG (with all its relevant bureaucratic agencies) + State govt. + private investors is not a childs play.

How market 2018?

ujoinme any comment for 0monnak0da?

We asked then many years ago,they said our breath stank.

Whose breath is fetid now?

We can see that the good people of Akwa Ibom entered one chance.

Money that should have built the port has been swallowed. They have a shiny stadium which is used 4 times a year instead

Akpabio ayaya

Hmm

I have some reservations about ports operations in Nigeria. In fact, I wonder if that port will work. My misgivings may be wrong but looking at the way other ports like the Calabar, Onne, etc, are being left to rot or underutilized, then may be right.

akpabio very sharp bad guy
internet Don't forget
