Akwa Ibom, NNPC, Solutions Hub sign MoU on marine logistics base ⬇️
The base, proposed to be sited on a 40-square kilometres space in Ibaka, Mbo Council, within the designated free trade zone in the state, is modeled to be an alternative to existing logistics bases in Nigeria to offer offshore construction support to West & Central African regions.
On the natural resources in the state, the governor informed the NNPC delegation of the need to utilise the resources to address Nigeria’s need in the power and agriculture sectors, especially in the face of impending food crisis. “The business approach, the speed in execution will be different because the focus is different, then people, who are on the board, with the right corporate governance and risk management structure, will be able to deliver on the much-expected returns”, he stated.
