The National Leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has publicly questioned the recent approval of the Ibom Deep Sea Port by President Bola Tinubu. The statement was issued in Abuja, following the president’s latest endorsement of the project.
The Ibom Deep Sea Port is a major infrastructure initiative aimed at enhancing Nigeria’s maritime trade and logistics capabilities. The project has been a focal point of national development discussions for several years.
In its remarks, the NDC’s leadership expressed concerns about the new approval, suggesting that the process may lack sufficient transparency or oversight. The party’s statement indicates a desire for clearer accountability in the project’s execution.
Earlier, the same project had received approval from former President Muhammadu Buhari in December 2020. The continuity of approval under two different administrations highlights the project’s importance to Nigeria’s economic strategy.
- December 2020 – Project approved by President Buhari
