In a decisive move to galvanize support and reaffirm party cohesion, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, presided over a landmark All Progressives Congress stakeholders’ meeting in Nsit Ubium Local Government Area, where he drove home the imperative of unity and revalidation in the party.
Speaking at the meeting dubbed “Home Going,” held at the Local Government Secretariat, Ikot Edibon, on November 22, 2023, the Governor reaffirmed the commitment of his administration, with the support of the Federal Government, to ensure the actualisation of the Ibom Deep Sea Port project.
Governor Eno disclosed that the hope of realizing the much-anticipated Ibom Deep Sea Port is intact as the necessary documentation processes are ongoing for the commencement of the project.
“We will very soon start the Ibom Deep Sea Port. It is a long process. Documentation takes much time. Processes of canvassing for suitable and competent investors are ongoing.
“The Federal Government is ready, and we are working the talk. Let our people be patient and rest assured that the project will soon be a delightful reality for our common good,” he said.
The Governor appreciated the massive reception and support accorded him by his people and party faithful, pledging to bring more development to the area.
He announced that his administration will construct a dual carriageway from Nung Udoe to East West Road, Nung Udoe to Afaha Nsit, and from Afaha Offiong to Itreto, and charged the people to align with the APC, assuring that the State has progressively moved to the centre for the overall benefit of all.
