Bakassi
BAKASSI IS NOT FORGOTTEN.
Secure communities. Stronger livelihoods. Shared prosperity.
THE ODEY-ARCHIBONG PLAN FOR BAKASSI
FROM A COASTAL COMMUNITY TO A COASTAL ECONOMIC FRONTIER.
Protect Fishing Livelihoods
Support fishermen with better landing facilities, storage, processing and market access.
Maritime Opportunity
Bakassi's geography should be treated as an economic asset, not an administrative afterthought.
Coastal Infrastructure
Improve access, communications, water, sanitation and community infrastructure suited to riverine conditions.
Security and Community Protection
Secure communities are essential for fishing, commerce, investment and family life.
Resource Governance
Any future petroleum or other extractive development must provide transparent environmental and community safeguards.
OUR PROMISE
Bakassi should never have to ask whether Cross River remembers it. Its people should see development, opportunity and dignity reach their communities.
