NBA Uyo on 24th March began its Law Week which will end on the 1st of April.
This 2022 Law Week is tagged “The Advent of Ibom Deep Seaport and the Prospects of Maritime Law Practice in Nigeria”.
Auta, made this remark on Monday in his goodwill message to the Branch.
According to him the Ibom Deep Sea Port (IDSP) project involves the development of a Greenfield Deepsea Port and accompanying Free Trade Zone (FTZ) in Akwa Ibom State which houses Uyo branch of the NBA.
“The proposed Port and FTZ are part of the proposed Ibom Industrial City initiative project which is intended to become a major national and regional economic gateway that will provide additional container handling capacity for the country.
“In addition to containers, the IDSP is expected to handle petroleum products (export and import), crude oil and natural gas (export), vehicles (import) and bulk trade in natural resources (import and export).
“It is planned to be the deepest port in the West African sub-region.
“Gentlemen in view of apparent gains this deep sea port holds for not only lawyers, but indeed the entire country, it is far beyond argument that the choice of the theme for this year’s law week reveals that the leadership of the NBA Uyo Branch and the law week planning committee are alive to the burning issues of our time and I heartily celebrate the bravery of the Leadership of NBA Uyo branch, for putting together such a magnificent law week with an apt theme.
“A cursory look at the quality of speakers and discussants invited for this law week, leaves no one in doubt that this law week will be intellectually engaging and rewarding.
“It is to this end that I wish all in attendance rewarding deliberations.
“God bless the NBA!
“God bless NBA Uyo Branch!
“God bless Nigeria!”
