The Stubb creek forest reserve also known as Akoiyak Ekid, is a gazette forest reserve in Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria, established in 1930. The reserve has attracted several researchers from within and outside Nigeria, as it is considered a hotspot for biodiversity, including flora and faunal resources.[1][2]
Ownership dispute
In 2021, a public dispute emerged between Eket and Ibeno Local government areas of Akwa Ibom State on the ownership of Stubb creek forest reserve. This dispute was intensified following the interest of BUA Group of Companies in the forest.[3][4]
