The Honourable Minster of Niger Delta Affairs, Sen. Gods will Akpabio, CON, has directed officials in charge of the Bakassi Housing Estate to allocate them to indigenes who are majorly in the Internally Displaced Persons Camp in Bakassi, Cross Rivers State.


The Minister disclosed this, when he paid a visit to the Executive Governor of the State, Sen. Ben Ayade in Government House, Calabar, Cross River State recently.


He stated that the Bakassi Housing project of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs is over 98% completed, hence should be allocated to the indigines especially those in the Internally Displaced Camps, noting that President Buhari’s Administration is sensitive to the yearnings of the poor.


Obong Akpabio also stated that his mission in the Niger Delta Ministry is to fast track development of the region and hasten empowerment of the people.


He therefore commended the Community for holding forth the Estate and for preventing it from vandalisation by unscrupulous elements, ordering further that the Housing Estate of over 34 Units be cleaned up and ready for habitation in earnest.


In a related development, Sen. Akpabio also inspected the Housing Estate in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa-Ibom State, which according to him, the location is ideal and as such part of the building can be utilized as staff Quarters for Police, Corrections Services, Polytechnic or converted to a small and medium scale industry, adding that the industry will provide jobs for the unemployed youths /women of the Community.


Other projects monitored include, the 6.55km Atinmo Akpabuyo road project in Calabar, Cassava Processing Plant, Mbak Atai and Computer Training Centre, both of Itu Local Government Area of Akwa-Ibom.
