Akwa Ibom government on Friday said it had acquired 14, 900 hectares of land for the take-off of Ibaka Deep Seaport in Mbo LGA of the state, the state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, revealed last week.

Akpabio said that the development of the seaport would be done through Public-Private-Partnership (PPP), and therefore solicited the involvement of ICRC in the project.

"We have worked really hard to fast-track the emergence of Ibaka Deep Seaport, which has a free trade zone.

“We have also received a license from the Federal Government for the commencement of the project.

"The Ibaka Deep Seaport would change the matrix of the unemployed in the country; it will attract investors to the state,” he said.

He restated that his administration was committed to building a sustainable economy through infrastructure development in the state.
