become a success and a source of pride to people of the state.
With the achievements so far recorded by his administration, the
governor boasted that God has answered the prayers of the state for
sustainable industrial base.

the federal government approved the establishment of the Oil and Gas
Free zone which according to him was a huge step in the
industrialisation agenda of the state.

us the approval to commence work on the long awaited Ibom Deep Seaport
Project.
“Let me on behalf of the Government and
the grateful people of Akwa Ibom State; thank President Muhammadu Buhari
and the Federal Executive Council for granting us this wonderful gift.”
The Ibom Deep Seaport, he said would change the economic dynamics of the
state and indeed the entire South-south and South-east respectively and
launch the state towards a period of unparalleled growth and
development.
“This is a great achievement for our
state and our people and I thank God that He used my administration to
achieve this historic milestone.” he declared.
The governor further pointed out that in his industrialisation agenda
last week, he commissioned the tissue factory, in spite of the
challenges faced in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Adding, “As the world opens up and
normalcy returns, we hope to attract more industries to our State and
boost employment and wealth creation opportunities for our people.”
He tasked the youths to embrace agriculture and tap into the enormous opportunities across all sectors in the state.
