You're an insane man. I am an indigene of the state. There's nothing tangible on ground so stop telling stupid lies. The refinery is only a project that was scheduled to kick start two years ago. For now there's nothing tangible on ground. You can't sit in your room and know everything with free data. Go to the site and give us update if am wrong.

Baba leave all this talk let's have on site photos like we saw severally of Dangote Refinery before it started production.

Na like this the Pandora Criminal Peter Obi claim he invested billions of anamabra commonwealth into Oriet petroleum 14 years after commissioning we can not find any refined product by Orient Petroleum or even locate where the refinery is situated.

it will surely come to light..it's a mater of time , if not this year as announced. It will surely come later. But the good news as far as I'm concerned is that Dangote Refinery already have a competition as per the Port-Harcourt refinery and BUA refinery a private refinery is joining the competition. And I believe that should be a welcome news to everyone. So as to force down the prices of refined products.

I wonder y all this hate.

Can you provide evidence I said worst thing about Dangote and PH refinery? The construction of BUA refinery have not even start

None exists anywhere. BUA actually commenced forest clearing but had to suspend work because of disagreement between warring communities over ownership of Stubbs Creek Forest Reserve.

With this, Dangote refinery and PH refinery all coming on stream, the country would have massive capacity to fulfil our petroleum needs and still export enormous proportion to respectively ease the pressure on FX and even generate more FX to improve the value of naira vis-a-vis our GDP.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT INDEED

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

WE RISE!

The land battle continues.....

The Ekid Peoples Union, EPU, in Akwa Ibom State, comprising Eket and Esit Eket, has called on BUA Petrochemical Refinery Limited to meet with stakeholders of the host communities to address nagging issues before commencement of operations.

Addressing a press conference in Eket on Saturday, the President-General of EPU, Dr Samuel Udonsak, said although the Akwa Ibom State Government was aware of the entrance of the company, it was also expedient for the company to meet with the land owners for proper discussions and agreement.

He said although Ekid people are not allergic to development, it was an affront for their forest reserve to be taken from them by the state government without following due process, saying the people would take every necessary step to stop them even as they have taken the case to court.

According to him, “the manner our land was taken was wrong and oppressive. We would have gotten the compensation if the acquisition was for overriding public interest and for the development of the community.

“In the first place the acquisition is not for overriding interest. Government and BUA have to do the needful, they need to sit with the owners of the land and do the needful. What happens to our flora and fauna?” He queried.

Also speaking, the Secretary-General of EPU, Barr Dan Abia, admitted that the state government had earlier attempted to give them compensation for their land taken, noting that that is not what Ekid people want.

He said all they were asking for was for the state government to follow the prescriptions of the law for land acquisition and for them to sit on a dialogue table with the investing company to spell out their terms and conditions especially on the preservations of their flora and fauna.

Abia lamented over what he described as “lots of illegal acquisition in the Stubb Creeks of their forest reserves” noting that Ekid union will no longer allow such to continue under the guise that all lands belong to the government.

He observed that the Akwa Ibom State Government had flouted its ordinance by giving out a forest reserve to a company to build a permanent structure.

His words, “That place is a forest reserve established by ordinance and you have no right to put up a permanent structure, only rights of fishing, tapping palm wine, even the government has violated the law it put in place.

“We have a lot of illegal acquisition going on the stubb creeks of the forest reserves. Sometimes I hear people say government land, there is nothing like government land; rather lands are vested on the governor and there is a process of acquisition. Government can only acquire land for one purpose according to section 44 of the Constitution and section 22 of the Land Use Act which is for overriding public interest.

“It is wrong for the government to acquire public land, convert it to private land and give it to a private individual. That’s not for overriding public interest. How can a private company (BUA) come into a community without sitting down with the owners of the land?

“We sat down one day and received a memo from the state government that they will pay compensation to us, compensation for what? The prescription of the law is that you give us notice of your intention to acquire and state the purpose of the acquisition and that purpose has to be overriding, then upon acquisition you give us another notice of acquisition by gazetting, thirdly you pay adequate and prompt compensation, fourthly, you allow us access to the court if we disagree with the first three prescriptions.

“These were not done, the government just sat down and issued Certificates of Occupancies to private companies whose only purpose is to make money, there is no proof that the government has any percentage share in BUA company. This is a clear case of modern day slavery and robbery. We are in court presently and cannot allow that to happen.”
