Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has attributed the apparent stagnation of the Ibom Deep Seaport project to the absence of investors, assuring that the state government has fulfilled all regulatory requirements for the project.
Governor Eno disclosed this during the three-day Niger Delta Blue Economy Summit held on Tuesday at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene. He explained that the delay in commencing the project was largely due to challenges in attracting the required foreign investment.
The governor’s comments come amid growing concerns among residents, who have questioned why the project appears stalled, especially as the completion of the seaport was widely cited as one of the reasons for Governor Eno’s defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
