Ibom Seaport projectChairman, Technical Committee on the Ibom Sea Port, Mrs. Mfon Usoro, has told the host communities that getting Federal Government’s approval for the project does not make it an entirely Federal Government project. She stated this during a stakeholder meeting at the Oron Union Secretariat, saying the committee was following due process since the project fell under the exclusive list of the Federal Government. x The Guardian recalled that before now, some host communities had started expressing fears that if the Federal Government-owned the project, the people would be denied certain benefits. “So, to allay such misconceptions, the committee had to put the records straight and solicit their support and cooperation with would-be investors for the execution of the project. The Federal Government approved the processes emanating from the technical committee because port operations are under the exclusive list.
