21 Storey Building For Mobil In Akwa Ibom: Construction Begins by diana158(m): 10:54am On Jan 05, 2018
Akwa Ibom state Government have began the construction of a 21 storey building for offices.

Speaking on efforts so far to ensure relocation of offices of International Oil Companies to the state, Commissioner of information Udoh said the ongoing 21-storey building embarked upon by Governor Udom Emmanuel would have state-of –the art facilities for offices.

"We know how much ExxonMobil is paying as tax to Lagos State government. Now we are constructing a 21 storey building with the intention to gradually increase it to about 30. This is a smart building with standard facilities for a modern office. So ExxonMobil would no longer have any excuse for not relocating to the state”. he said

This is not the sort of language to use.


International companies are not easily bullied.

NASS HAVE ASKED ALL THE OIL COMPANIES TO RELOCATE TO THE SS.

THEY EITHER RELOCATE OR FACE LEGAL ACTION FOR DIVERTING TAX BELONGING TO THE OIL PRODUCING REGION TO LAGOS AT AN INTERNATIONAL COURT.

THAT MEANS, THEY WILL PAY DOUBLE TAX FROM THEN TILL DATE.

Are request laws? If they didn't pass a law then their request means nothing. There's no ground to sue them on or tax penalty for non compliance. Think about this for a second of there a law in place why would state bother building them a building?

How exactly can they tell any firm where to locate their HQ. Should they have right to tell you were to locatate your business HQ?

Oil companies left because of lack of safety and security, violence and kidnappings.

You can not guarantee their safety and security with office building..

I TRUST AKWA IBOM, THEY HAVE VERY HIGH STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING.

IT TOOK AKWA IBOM A SHORT TIME TO BUILD THIS IN UYO.

SO, U CAN BET YOUR PANTS, THAT THEY WILL HAVE MOBIL BUILDING READY VERY SHORTLY.

It's the most appropriate thing to do... Almost all Oil Drilling Companies are located in TX or Louisiana, not Washington DC or NY. You cannot drill resources from State A and then pay taxes in State B. It's just not right.

Niger Deltans are finally waking up , This is even worse than what herdsmen were doing in the middle belt , graze their cows on people's farms and pay no compensation, Oil companies spill their oil on Niger Delta land pollute their Air and water and pay taxes to another state.

Maybe if they receive the Billions of Naira that Lagos receives, perhaps they would be able to combat homegrown violence and kidnappings and integrate the youths into meaningful enterprise.
