Global oil giant, ExxonMobil, is one of the international investors eyeing investment opportunities in the proposed Akwa Ibom State government owned Liberty Oil and Gas Free Zone in Ikot Abasi, an official said.
The special adviser to the Akwa Ibom State Governor on technical matters, Ufot Ebong, said ExxonMobil, which has its operational base in Akwa Ibom, already sent in a request for a dedicated oil and gas terminal in the proposed free zone pending when it would become operational.
Mr. Ebong did not give further details or specifics on ExxonMobil’s requests.
On cases of property owners within the area acquired by government for the free zone, he assured that all concerns would be addressed either through integration into the project or relocation from the project site.
He said the Akwa Ibom State government was working with a consortium of consultants led by PricewaterhouseCoopers to mobilise investments into the proposed free zone.
Mr. Ebong, an engineer, was speaking in Uyo during a review meeting between the Liberty Oil and Gas Free Zone Joint Implementation Committee and the managing director of Oil & Gas Free Zone Authority, OGFZA, Okon Umana, who was on a working visit to the area.
