Governor Emmanuel had recently in a live radio broadcast said the reason the Ibom deep seaport has not taken off was because the investors have pulled out following the petitions the people of Oron wrote against the state government.
The governor said Oron people should be held responsible if the multi-billion Naira project does not come to fruition as the investors were scared away by the persistent petitions. Explaining why the investors left, Nkpubre said, “concerning the avoidable controversy surrounding the Ibaka Deep Sea Port project, let me categorically say that no investor would want to waste his hard earned money or borrowed funds to go and dig out a dry land equivalent to about 150 football fields to create an artificial ocean for a Deep Sea Port in Ibeno LGA when a natural harbour with undredged draft of 11meters is close by at Ibaka, only 10km away.
