Projects In Abia State: Proposed- Obuaku Seaport Construction: It is in the Obuaku, Ukwa West LGA, and the site lies by the Azumini River that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. And what is more, since it is just five nautical miles from the Ocean it qualifies technically as a seaport, not a river port, going by the UN’s laws. 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. This project IF achieved will open up the manufacturing and commercial sector of Abia to the entire world. Potential Contractors: NORINCO 6 Likes |

Nice thread, this is s welcomed idea but a few things need to be done first; we have to work with communites along that coastal line as well as states through which this river passes; the second challenge is source of funding. 3 Likes |

Vicotex: I suspected that, plus militancy and piracy would ravage that secluded area. Oh well, that's why I think Imo is the saving grace because it's close enough, near more friendlier neighbours (Ibibio, Ogoni, Igbo speaking Opobo community), near enough Port Harcourt (or Igwu Ocha) and can be patrolled easier. 9 Likes |

ezeagu: Determined to remove Abia State from its landlocked status and enhance economic and commercial activities the state government has concluded plans to build its own seaport. The decision to build the seaport which is to be located at Obuaku in Ukwa West local government is coming on the heels of government’s announcement that plans are in top gear to build an airport in the state. Commissioner for information and strategy, Dr Eze Chikamnayo who disclosed this after the last state executive council meeting in Umuahia said the two projects would be executed simultaneously. The sea port which will be the first in the South East geopolitical zone would help importers and exporter from the state carry out their business with more ease and reduce the distance they have to travel to clear their goods. The sea port he added would also create employment for the teeming unemployed youths in the state both skilled and unskilled. Defending the location of the seaport, he said that unlike Port Harcourt Sea port which is about 10 miles from Port Harcourt City, the proposed Obuaku seaport is less than five miles to the Atlantic Ocean. The commissioner said that already a committee has been set up to see to the development of the seaport which will see Governor Theodore Orji emerging as the first governor in the South East to build a sea port. On the air port project, he said that an appropriate site had been acquired cutting across Ikwuano and Umuahia south local government areas covering an area of 24 square miles. www.leadership.ng/news/251213/abia-set-build-sea-port 3 Likes |

Vicotex: Could it be that they are wrong? Because Ukwa East is north of Port Harcourt, so how can it be closer to the sea? 1 Like |

Freedom of navigation (FON), is a principle
of customary international law that, apart
from the exceptions provided for in
international law, ships flying the flag of
any sovereign state shall not suffer
interference from other states. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Adminisher:I guess you were so blinded with hate that you didn't see where someone suggested cooperation with AKSG and RVSG. My friend you really need help. Igbos are not your problem. They're brainstorming on how to better Igboland and you're bitter and restless. Why? Go and look for ways of improving the quality and standard of living for your people in the Southwest. 11 Likes |
