Nsit Ubium, Akwa Ibom State — In a strategic move to strengthen party unity and reaffirm commitment to ongoing development initiatives, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, on Wednesday, November 22, 2023, presided over a landmark All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ meeting tagged “Home Going” at the Nsit Ubium Local Government Secretariat, Ikot Edibon.
Governor Eno, addressing party faithful and community leaders, restated his administration’s determination — alongside the Federal Government — to deliver the long-awaited Ibom Deep Sea Port project. He disclosed that all required documentation and investor-sourcing processes are active and progressing steadily.
“We will very soon start the Ibom Deep Sea Port. It is a long process, and documentation takes much time. Processes of canvassing for suitable and competent investors are ongoing.
The Federal Government is ready, and we are working the talk. Let our people be patient and rest assured that the project will soon be a delightful reality for our common good,”
the Governor said.
Governor Eno expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and reception from Nsit Ubium residents and party stakeholders. He pledged to consolidate the area’s development footprint, announcing plans for several dual carriageway projects, including:
