Ikot ekpene to Aba road is a federal road, the FG must take responsibility of fixing its roads in the Niger Delta. this region has been neglected for too long.
Besides the AKSG under gov. Akpabio spent time fixing federal roads in the state of which the FG is owing the Akwa IBom state govt. N140bn and have not paid a kobo up till today.

If you have visited Akwa Ibom recently, you will know that there are many evacuation routes from Akwa ibom besides ikot ekpene - Aba road.
unlike in the past.

There is the east west road that connects to PH through ikot Abasi ,The present Govt. is currently investing a lot in linking Akwa Ibom to its neighbours.

There is the 14.1km Ikpe Ikot Nkon - Obot Mme - Arochukwu road linking Ini Local Government Area of Akwa ibom to Arochukwu in Abia State which is 90%completed and the people of Arochukwu in Abia State have already offered a chieftaincy title to honour Governor Udom Emmanuel in appreciation of the road. and As we speak the people of Arochukwu are using that road to Access the Akwa Ibom international Airport for their rotuine flights, as this has become the closest airport for them with good road access.

And there is also another road linking Akwa ibom to Abia State constructed by the AKSG to link our brothers from Amuvi, Asaga, Obinkita, Ibom, Ututu to Ihechiowa and Azumini communities in Abia state.

Gov. Udom is a revolutionary governor interms of development, but he is different in style from gov. Akpabio in the sense that hes a quiet guy who dosnt toot his horn as loud. but hes doing a lot and the people are happy for it.

6 million in Uyo by the teaching hospital. If you want cheaper plots of land judt move futher out of major cities. I think you could get land cheaper by Eket if I remember correctly.

Espada10:
I want a land near to ibaka seaport..uyo and eket which is more preferable ?

Blue3k:


Eket but why not just land in Mbo or Ibeno.

Espada10:
cool ..thanks..eket to ibaka is how many hours? ..why I say eket rather than ibeno or mbo is that, to me eket seems more open and also the issue of CFO.

Amarabae:
bad belle.

Blue3k:


I'm not sure and don't want to give you wrong info. I would have to ask my cousin or something.

0monnak0da:


You just have to bing Apapa into it.


The reality is there are well over 15 million people in Lagos State. Akwa Ibom is twice the size of Lagos. So it would need to have twice the population of Lagos to make comparisoon meaningful.
No matter ho good a road is with time it must be maintained. The FG takes all the money out of Apapa and puts nothing back into maintenance

If Akwa Ibom becomes so successfuul that 30 million people move there this road will struggle. So stop talking jazz and keep Lagos out of it.

I observed the way the way the commissioner was emphasizing on investors, which is a good thing anyway, but let's be realistic here. The biggest potential investors they could get that would make the seaport viable are the Igbos especially their importers and industrialists. If the governor fails to liaise with the Abia state government in constructing the Aba-Ikot ekpene highway regardless of it being a federal road then the project might end up as a white elephant project in the mould of Tinapa. Akwa Ibom lacks the local content/economy that could make the seaport viable but if the importers at Aba and Onitsha should start using the seaport, it would help to turn around the economy of the state.

You dont have to put someone down to make your point, what do you mean by local content to sustain a port? where in Nigeria is the local content? what do we manufacture as a country worthy of export at the moment? The only export from Nigeria is crude oil out of which Akwa Ibom is the largest producer. on that strength alone this justifies the siting of the port which will make it the closet port to the Joint development zone. Besides with the availability of a viable port investors will come to tap our cheap labour and abundant gas for manufacturing knowing there will be a functional port to evacuate it from to any part of the world, they so choose.

But thats not the only case, IDSP is the best port site in the whole country. its the deepest natural seaport in the country hence the idea of dredging dosent occur and it will be the only transshipment port in Nigeria what that means is that it will make all the shallow ports in Nigeria come alive.
As big ships that cant access/berth all the shallow ports that litter Nigeria will dump thier goods IDSP and people like you an me can buy smaller ships and barges and float this goods for onward delivery to all the shallow ports and even river ports in Nigeria thereby creating jobs.

Blame buhari for the auto company that didint materialize, when the investor came in 2015 $ exchange rate was $1:N195 thats what the projections was based on soon after breaking groundfor the project $1 exchange rate climed to N500 within a few months, and buhari flip floped on economic policies causing massive flight of foreign capital and investment to Nigeria.

I ask you if you were the investor would you have invested your money in such climate?

the Akwa ibom state govt. is working hard to bring back investors despite the dulling of the APC Federal govt.
Gov. Udom has so far attracted the Jubilee syringe factory,
The electricty meter manufacturing company,
The kings flour company,
The HJ coconut oil refinery,
St Gabriel coconut plantation,
Toothpick and pencil factory,
The reactivation of the peacock paint industry etc
can you point to any Nigerian Gov. Who has done better in this regards?

We are working on decongestion with the port at Lekki and the Lekki Frree Trade Zone

IBBG:
funny enough, where the environmentalist protesting calabar cross river super highway, why are they suddenly silent in akwa ibom's case.

Blue3k:


Akwa Ibom was dumb like cross river to cut through a rainforest filled with endangered animals. The state paid compensation before embarking in project. Lastly we didn't fail EIA 3 times. I would say the cases for both projects are different.

0monnak0da:
Why do you like feeling important? Did Igbos invest in Lekki port to make it viable. They don't need you so stop attaching with style. The Port will serve Cameroun Chad Niger and NE Nigeria as well as the oil industry in that part of the Niger Delta.

IBBG:
so where is the road passing, is it not still through a virgin forest? so are there no animals in that forest? cross river road was readjusted not to pass through the reserve sites, but yet howl of protests. Same environmetalist have suddenly gone mute here. Akwa ibom has so many good roads, yet it is constructing more, but cross river has so many bad roads but want to construct a new one, rather it is cross riverians opposing it.

Why do you like talking ignorantly? Yes, if you must know, Igbos are the ones making Lagos ports viable because they are the biggest importers. The highest proportion of clearing and forwarders at the Apapa & Tin can ports are Igbos. Already, Lagos has become viable because of its status as the only major entry point for goods into the country. The port will serve Cameroon indeed, so Cameroon will abandon it's ports to start using the one in Nigeria You are just envious knowing that such collaboration will help spur the growth of the port which people like you do not want. I'm happy that for the very first time, a deep sea port is being built in the Eastern region which will boost the economy of the area. Everything must not be in Lagos.
