Notes
Idabato : rich in oil deposits
The council was created on 19th June 1977 to setup councils and define their boundaries. In April 1995 a Presidential decree created Idabato municipality. The council became operational in February 1996 with Idabato II as the head quarter.
After the council elections and unfortunately the council has been operating out of the municipality because during the Bakassi crisis, the whole territory was occupied by Nigerian military and further more even up till now there exist high rate of insecurity perpetrated by militant groups and pirates.
Few government services effectively operate in Idabato II and some others in Jabane II due to insecurity prevalent in the area perpetrated by militant groups and pirates.
The municipality comprises of some 18 villages/communities, which are mostly fishing ports with native communities of Nigerian origin making the majority population. Kombo A’Munja and Jabane are the other biggest towns closest to Idabato.
Idabato council is found at the extreme end of the Bakassi peninsular and its closeness to the Atlantic Ocean makes the council vulnerable to flooding, marshy areas and swamps areas from high sea tides. The relief of the council is characterised by lowlands in general.
The interruption of the sea to the east by Mount Cameroon makes the area rich in oil deposits. The vegetation of the council is characterised by mangroves, swamps, several Creeks and sand-spits that stretch from the rocky coast lines of Fako to the Ndian River Basin.
Main economic activities include artisanal fishing, fish mongering, petty trading, firewood cutting, boat carving etc.
