Osinbajo, gave the directive at a Town Hall meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom
State capital on Thursday during continuation visit to the region to
dialogue with stakeholders.
The Acting President urged the Minister of State, Petroleum, Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu to begin the process of engaging the International Oil
Companies on the way forward to actualize the directive, saying “I think
it is the right thing to do”.
He disclosed that, the Ministry of Petroleum is also working with major
oil companies on several initiatives including; working on illegal
refineries to establish modular refineries to achieve the desired
result.
On the Federal Government amnesty programme for ex-agitators, Osinbajo
re-iterated the federal government stand noting that, the Ministry of
Petrolum and Amnesty office are working with the state governments of
the region on providing the benefits to young people in the states.
He emphasized on the importance of the Ibaka deep Sea port project,
saying that, the Federal Government is seriously committed to its
realization. According to him, “Indeed as a matter of fact, in the 2017
budget there is already a provision for the Ibaka port. There is already
N1billion provision.
It is a matter we take seriously to partner with the Akwa Ibom State
Government”, urging state governments in the region to attract private
investments in their domain in order to create employment opportunities
for the youths.
Earlier, Governor Udom Emmanuel appealed to the Federal Government to
integrate Akwa Ibom indigenes who were left out in the amnesty
programmes, as well as stressed the need for the reactivation of the
Aluminum Smelter Company (ALSCON) at Ikot Abais local government area of
the state to create more opportunities for the people.
He said, “With facilities we have in ALSCON, we cannot see it anywhere
in Africa; from the services, communication to power generation you can
create seven profits centres”.
Governor Emmanuel, while commending Prof. Osinbajo for the visit,
further solicited the support of the federal government for the
completion of the maintenance, repairs and overhaul (MRO) facilities at
the Akwa Ibom International airport to assist repairs of aircrafts
assuring that, any financial assistance for the completion of the MRO
will be refunded in no time from revenue generated from the repairs of
aircrafts.
