Tinubu Approves Ibom Deep-Sea Port and International Status for Victor Attah Airport
President Bola Tinubu has announced approval for the proposed Ibom Deep-Sea Port and for Victor Attah Airport in Akwa Ibom State to receive international airport status.
The announcements were made during the president’s visit to Uyo on Friday. Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno had requested support for the port, describing it as a project that could expand trade and economic activity in the South-South.
Details still to come
The approvals mark a policy commitment, but the public announcement did not set out a delivery timetable, financing plan, construction milestones or the agencies responsible for each stage. Those details will be important in assessing when the projects could move from approval to implementation.
The airport designation may also require further operational and regulatory steps before international services begin. MBTV will track official documents and project updates as they are released.
