“We expect something good from the interaction. It takes a lot of work, whether it is Ibom Deep Seaport or Power, it takes a lot of work.l’m urging our people to be patient.
“We have made giant strides in reforming the power sector, but it takes a while, it is not a walk in the park, it is precept upon precept.”
He noted that his administration has taken strategic steps towards transforming the power sector, while also working hard to realize its vision on the Ibom Deep Seaport.
“We have made our point very clear. We are engaging investors on the Ibom Deep Seaport. We just finished paying for the feasibility studies of that Seaport. It takes processes to get things done. I appreciate the enthusiasm, and I want the Seaport like yesterday. I want power like yesterday. But we would like to go through these processes and I am sure we are doing it, and I know that by the grace of God, we will get there.
“We are moving inch by inch on where we ought to be on the Ibom Deep Seaport and the power sector. Things don’t happen overnight, but we have good engagements, and people are showing interest,” the Governor concluded.
