Why this stadium when the state already has a wonderful stadium built by Akpabio in the same state.

It's a waste of resources as far as I'm concerned because they can't maintain them as one will suffer for one.

A white elephant project is an expensive project with no value and such is the one I'm seeing here. We have a stadium in Uyo which is not even completed. Why is the governor not completing that one and other projects started by the last administration? Eket does not need a stadium of this magnitude but something like the one in Ikot Ekpene.

At the end of the day, how would this project impact people's lives especially the Eket people? How many indigenes of Eket can work there? To do exactly what and to who? I think the governor should channel his energy toward projects that directly benefits the people, e.g., road construction and intervening in the abysmally poor power supply in the state.

How many young people would even use the stadium when hunger is bitting hard? Again, I don't think there's water in Uyo. What's building another stadium? What's Ibom Air? Looks good; sounds good, but without any value to the common man.

Atouke:
The construction of the 17,000 all seater all covered Eket stadium in Akwa ibom state which started a while ago by the Government of Mr udom emmanuel has reached roofing levels.
This month all the 17000 plastic seats for the stadium has arrived uyo the state capital where it is stored.
The artificial pitch has and the tartan tracks material has also arrived.

The ministry of sports akwa ibom state recieved 27 container of materials for installation in the new stadium January 2020.

Mr udom Emmanuel is not just building a stadium in Eket, eket is the second biggest city in Akwa ibom state after uyo, the state capital and ikot Ekpene the Northern district capitals.
Eket has a variety of roads that are being dualize, drainages, city park, modern yiwu Chinese market, the biggest Chinese market in Nigeria is currently under construction in Eket and many more...

You have missed what to say. If to go and watch match in England you will be the first person. You've forgotten that they started from crash like this. Simply tell us you aren't a lover of sports. You can watch your Zeeworld or Aljazeera. Any sports-loving person wont criticize what Gov. Udom is doing. Akpabio did same and today, Akwa Ibom has been projected. Do you know how much money is generated to Akwa Ibom State account as a result of sport events held in the State? Next time, reason before you comment thrash Mr. Man.

The other one is akpabio international stadium while this will be Udom foreign stadiyy

Atouke:


Show me any state including Lagos that has 1700km of roads construction ongoing and some complete. That's what mr udom Emmanuel is doing.
Show me any state that has built transmission and distribution stations in their state.
Udom Emmanuel has built the ekim power station and several power step down stations across the state, and akwa ibom via its [b]Ibom power plant is the only state in the country that produces 191mw of electricity without any FG input.
FYI akwa ibom only needs about 50 to 80 mw of power. But for the FG exclusive list that takes Akwa ibom 191MW [/b]to national grid, Akwa ibom should be enjoying 24/7 power supply. The state has made enough investments to see it happen.

For whether the stadium is neccessary, is a matter of opinion. When Akpabio built the 30,000 uyo stadium many people shouted white elephants more than you are doing now but today they are the ones singing praises of the stadium.
That uyo stadium is the only fifa compliant stadium in Nigeria till today.
Time will vindicate the governor on the eket stadium. So you are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make your opinion a fact.

the most underdeveloped region in this country? like seriously? where did u get ur statistics from? From where pls? I need to know..

U are truly funny. A region was razed down during war and never got a single help from any one and today, that region has one of the highest per capital income in the entire west africa and u are here saying rubbish. Northern Nigeria that has produced almost all the leaders of this country since independence, and yet still remains the poorest region in the entire world, u no see them shade, na igbos u see shade. what is the essence of stadium when the people are poor?

East has some good stadium that only needs face lift. They arent such a priority for now. Enugu stadium is okay and can compete with any stadium if given a face lift. The Enyiba stadium got renovated last year and in great looks. The one in Owerri is okay structure wise and can be renovated. So, why the insult given to the entire region? If una no see igbo insult una no go sleep?

What is the essence of beautiful stadium when the people are massively poor. Has igbo ever ruled this country as much as other regions did? There are policies from FG that are not business friendly to the eastern region for over 30 years, yet the people are not the poorest in the country. Enugu and Owerri are among the most peaceful and beautiful cities to live in Nigeria.

Go to Eboyi and see infrastructural development going on. I am still proud of my region even after the war, the policies etc, we are still not the poorest people in this country. The collective wealth of a region is important as well. North has ruled and controlled the affairs of this country for decades, yet they need money for rehabilitation. Nigerians will leave their major problem which is north and be attacking igbos up and down online.

Nvc078:

should i say, a foool is more sensible than you?
so building a mediocre stadium is a yardstick to measure development? did i hear you say SE is the least developed region in Nigeria?please tell me which cave you are living?

Who is peculiar consults? This stadium according to state Government is built by direct labour.

FYI Eyimba stadium in Aba was done by governor ikpeazu. That was a great job, the stadium is one of the best at the moment.
Learn to commend politicians when they do good, if you dont commend them then dont misrepresent their achievements.

Enwhen:


Ignorant is a disease....don't be too political

Do u know how much and biz activities a stadium can bring to a state ??.... Pls go find out the billions Delta State govt made from the African events that was hosted by the state, they already had the approved Oghara township stadium built by former govt James Ibori, where national matches were played approved by CAF, the Gov also went ahead to upgrade the Asaba township stadium to a world standards and help the state to win hosting right.... By the time this stadium is completed joined with the one Akpabio built in Uyo and with their Ibom air , the state is good to host any event , then the money used to built the two stadium will be gotten back, communities will make alot of money from sales to participators... The indigenes should also build hotels not far from both stadium... Delta State govt made billions of naira from the event they hosted and communities made alot of sales ...I remembered how Ahmed Musa gave a mother 250k during training in that stadium....we all know Akwa Ibom is the home of super eagles , they played friendly there, and international matches, and with this new one , wow it's the best, Gov Udom Na real biz man , he Sabi pass the Igbos self.


U need to be wise o, u are saying Power as if the Gov build any one it will benefit his people... For ur info, the Power generating act doesn't allow any state to generate power on their own, and if they does, the power will be send to the nearest grid for national consumption , then Govs Saraki Bukola , and Baba Fashola built same, but today it's being use by the federation because of the power generation act.

DarkJeddi:
It's like Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu na your Shithole backyard it dey?

The one that Enyimba uses in Aba for International matches na your garbage front yard it dey..

Dan Anyiam Stadium for Owerri na you lease am?

Dey show yourself..

African leaders are very wicked they use all means to render the masses poor so they could buy them with #5 during elections.

What's the usefulness of this stadium if I may ask? The money used in this stadium if it's been put into Agriculture it'll create employment and reduce crime. But if the masses feed well no one will do the dirty job again during elections for peanuts. The stadium Akpabio built in Awka ibom how many lives is the stadium sustaining today?

These Leaders are vision less what we need now is industries and SMe loans.

benjida:

Bros calm down. Everything just dey vex us for this country

benjida:

These stadia are worthless.

Xposed2020:


Please check the 1700km road stuff.
I doubt the whole of AKS has a road network of up to that. The township roads are OK except IBB way due to poor drainage, even the road from Uyo to Onna is not up to 200km.
Please check yr facts again.

poiZon:

Mister, u dont just go about buildng industries cos u want to.
What will the industry be producing if they arent raw materials to process.....
80percent of industries in nigeria deals with repackaging n assembly, nothing like manufacturing. Where akwaibom is, with the less population n underdevelop sea way, buildng giagantic house name industry will tantamount to white elephant project.
Which state will the industry feed?
Go n check cross river garment factory whether it is functional anymore.

I first made mention of Agriculture. If we produce agricultural product automatically industry for branding, packaging and warehousing will create employment. Before we discovered oil Nigeria was working because of the Labour force in Agricultural sector. China today it's what's it's because of
Industry and investment in Agriculture.


If we've good credit facilities people going into business will increase, and it'll make the masses self sufficient creating employment for themselves and others. Building a stadium is not a bad idea but the timing it's wrong. How much will you use the stadium to Generate? But if there's employment people will have time and money to see sunshine stars playing in the stadium it'll boost revenue. but no one is going because of the economy you've to take care of your stomach first.
