Configuration for Ibaka Integrated Port
Deep offshore oil and gas development; and offshore technical services capabilities
based on the current Local Content Policy of the Federal Government and also
involving offshore joint ventures with Companies in Aberdeen, Scotland ; and
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and South Korea will embrace:
- Construction of supply boats for offshore oil operations.
- Fabrication of offshore lifting cranes, maintenance and repairs
- Production of wet Christmas trees
- Supply of subsea manifolds
- Construction of oil platform jackets for oil production systems.
- Dry docking for oil installations offshore
- FPSO fabrication, etc.
Ibaka Liquefied Natural Gas Plant
Ibaka Liquefied Natural Gas Plant, would process for export the voluminous
associated gas from the extensive offshore gas production in the eastern Niger
Delta. It is conceived as a viable gas export activity at this deep seaport.

|
Akwa Ibom State has the largest gas deposits in Nigeria. We shall construct a
liquified natural gas (LNG) plant that will produce gas for export to the
international community |

Projects
Ibaka Integrated Deep Sea Port Complex
Ibaka Integrated Deep Sea Port Complex (with Shipyard and Offshore Oil Terminal).
This port will be the next most strategic port in Nigeria after Lagos. Just as
Lagos occupies the Western maritime and industrial gateway into Nigeria, Ibaka
as the easternmost landward outpost in Nigeria , will command the nation's eastern
gateway.
Akwa Ibom Railway Extension
Part of the Coastal Zone Socio-economic Development Council recently launched
by President Olusegun Obasanjo, with Chief A. K. Horsfall as Chairman ought
to include railway extension into the Niger Delta. 1000km railway line which the Indians are to construct from PortThe 1,000km railway line which the Indians are to construct from Port Harcourt
to Kano in exchange for oil and gas production in the delta should be rendered
more economic to stimulate industrial investments and services by extending
it into Akwa Ibom State . To facilitate movement of goods the railway extension
should run from Aba through Uyo into the new international airport and terminate
in the coast at Ibaka Port Complex. This would cater for the Oron-Aba axis,
a most congested human corridor with enormous traffic and industrial potentials,
to be served by a seaport, an airport and a railway line.
It is a tribute to the vision of President Obasanjo to award oil and gas concessions
in the Niger Delta in order to attract railway infrastructure. We in this part
of the country must demonstrate to the rest of the Nation our readiness to utilize
such an opportunity for our long-awaited sustainable socio-economic development,
otherwise we shall have ourselves to blame. On my part, I shall commence the
Feasibility study on the Akwa Ibom Railway Line as soon as I assume office.

Our implementation of an airport should also land us profitably in the aviation
business with an MRO to attract a fleet of aircraft into the state's airport for
maintenance |
|
|
Development and commercialisation of the natural port at Ibaka will open Nigeria
to the world from a strategic point in the Gulf of Guinea |
|
|
Our proposed shipyard and dry dock facilities will place us in the lucrative
maritime business of shipbuilding and repairs |
|
|
It will be natural and a lot of economic sense to extend a
railway line into Akwa Ibom State |
