Today, I am excited to announce the signing of a tripartite agreement between the Imo State Government, the Nigerian Navy and a consortium of companies led by Geomarine Services for the Urashi River Development which will include the survey and dredging of the Oguta Lake and Urashi River to the sea.

It is no longer correct to assume that Imo State is landlocked because this 93km dredging of the lake to the sea will not just offer an improved security coverage along the coastline, it will also create access for commercial navigation and other forms of oil and gas activities boosted.

The harnessing of our available resources and potentials in developing our dear State, remains a critical approach in the actualization of our drive towards repositioning the State for economic growth and stability.

This will usher in the creation of economic zone around the gas-rich region of our dear State for the benefit of all.

- Hope Uzodimma

Put map na. How do we access the info?

You're not wiser than Nigerian Navy and Imo state government and Goemarines

Have Rivers State given you Permission?

It can only work as a Joint Project with Rivers State

Rivers state does not have to approve anything!.

Nigeria is a country. Rivers state does not have to approve anything. It's not a different country

Seun Lalasticlala this is a front page material

If oguta in imo is 93km from the sea

Then Nigerian map we all grew up with is a big same

My friend has always told me that the Nigerian map is a scam but never had a reason to believe

So you are obviously saying height of Rivers state is less than 100km ?

Rivers State will need to approve it because you will need to pass through Rivers State to reach the Coast

I didn’t say it couldn’t happen I only asked if Rivers State was part of the Project


If you take a Closer look at the Map you will notice that Imo is sitting delicately on top of Rivers State head

It cannot reach the Coast without serious help from Rivers State

It will in fact have to be a Rivers State Project


The only way the SE could reach the Coast would be if the People in Eastern Rivers State agree to be joined

with Abia State but with what I have seen online they are completely uninterested in the Idea for some

Historical Reasons

Can you cite what part of the Constitution gives them the power over waterways?

Nigerian Navy does not owe Rivers state explanation and does not need Rivers state approval. Buhari is the one vested with the power to make such approval. If Rivers state is a different country, it could have been a different thing

God bless Imo State

See self entitlement. Every land and waters belong to the people of the land. Hence Rivers state have a direct say in this. Besides, dredging from Imo state to River is too far and could cause adverse effect such as ocean surge. It would be River people who would suffer it. Why don't you dredge from Abia state? Whichever ways, River state have to be carried along.

this one na pure olodo, ignoramus

You didn't cite the constitution like I asked. Do you know what the word cite means? You're just making claims without showing evidence. Rivers doesn't have power over interstate commerce or waterways that cross multiple states. Read these sections of the Constitution below.

Second Schedule Legislative Powers Part I Exclusive Legislative List

29. Fishing and fisheries other than fishing and fisheries in rivers, lakes, waterways, ponds and other inland waters within Nigeria.

36. Maritime shipping and navigation, including

-(b) shipping and navigation on the River Niger and its affluents and on any such other inland waterway as may be designated by the National Assembly to be an international waterway or to be an inter-State waterway;

64. Water from such sources as may be declared by the National Assembly to be sources affecting more than one state.

Part II Concurrent Legislative List Extent of Federal and State Legislative powers

17. The National Assembly may make laws for the Federation or any part thereof with respect to-
(a) the health, safety and welfare of persons employed to work in factories, offices or other premises or in interState transportation and commerce including the training, supervision and qualification of such persons;

But we understand this isn't by a sudden flight.

The vast gas deposit in Imo and oil discoverings, including the refineries springing up in Urasi and Oguta axis could be directly linked to this development.

Nigerian government has seen they can't do without the vast oil and gas in Imo, they're bending towards opening up Imo and by extension Igboland

This is where you are wrong.

Exactly, the gas reserve in imo state is the only reason why they are doing this. They want to siphon the gas wotowoto via backyard lol

Don’t mind the guy. This news is peppering his body anyhow

Lol, you just like that we agree with each other on this topic. You probably won't feel the same when we disagree. This project does make Imo not landlocked. Switzerland is considered landlocked even though the Rhine River empties into the north Seas.

Imo isn't Landlocked. Rhine is man-made

The Rhine is not man-made. You're making that up like the other guy was making up facts. Go ahead and cite your sources if you have evidence. Imo is landlocked because it had no direct access to the sea. Rivers don't count or else Switzerland isn't Landlocked either.

Waters and Land belong to the people of that state. Sink that into your skull. That's why people opposed water bills.

This is one of the reasons why people say Igbos are not different from Fulani. They're two sides of a coin. Land grabbers. And they're so entitled. Imagine crying just because they were asked to carry River state along.
