Go through the above threads and tell me if delta or bayelsa can match the state.

In fact, you can create a thread for it and show us how delta or Bayelsa is being managed from 2010 - date.

I still didn't see anything special about Akwa Ibom, those stuff are normal things. Nothing special at all

Did you protest during the #EndSARS?

Do you have the contact of your councillor or governor?

We are all victims of bad governance and we keep begging and collecting the meagre we are all managing instead of facing the monsters who rule over us once and for all.

I wont even be surprised if ure an APC or PDP supporter.

I expected Lagos to be there, they are good at borrowing with only bullion van to show for it.

But what's akwa ibom doing in that list with all their oil money..hmm!of course river state will be their when wike is only burrowing money to build flyovers in port Harcourt like that's the only city in the state.Dumb governor.

They are all useless. Don't put up defence for any governor in Nigeria. They are as useless as the federal government, if not more useless. Go and see what their counterparts are doing abroad.

Those of you saying one state is better than others, keep deceiving yourselves, why then are people traveling out of the country? They should have instead traveled to those exceptional states. Nigeria as a whole is a failed state and that's the ugly reality.

I dont think Udom is the culprit here.

Latvin & bro4u:
I took side with what both of you have said above.

I don’t know about Akpabio having something to show during his years in office, but Victor Attah clearly was the best governor Akwa Ibom State ever had for many reasons.

When Victor Attah became governor of Akwa Ibom State in 1999, Akwa Ibom State was a jungle and a forest. When you wake up in the morning, all eyes could see were bush, wilderness and rainforest. Roads that were visible could hardly fitted two cars.

The citizens deserted the state to Lagos and out of Nigeria—many never returned.

Return for what reason?
There were no private sector jobs anywhere in the state and if you see someone with a pay check, that person was a government worker. And if you lived in a village, you probably have never seen a car in your life. That was how bad Akwa Ibom State was before 1999—the year civilian government replaced military rule in Nigeria

But the emergence of Victor Attah in 1999 as the state governor changed everything in Akwa Ibom State forever. Under governor Attah, linking all the 31 local governments with network of roads became a reality. Several five stars hotels began to emerge. International Airport came in town. Football stadium was built. And several private sector jobs began to spring up everywhere in the state. And so were gainfully employment opportunities for locals.

This was followed by returned of citizens to the state in large numbers.
These developments began to slow down when Akapbio and Udom took over the state.
The chart below shows how Akwa IIbom State has fallen since Akpabio and Udom took over the management of Akwa Ibom State.

So, I am going to stop here for today, but I will in future expand on how Victor Attah rescued Akwa Ibom State.

eeetuk,

Thanks for your insights and contributions. Looking forward to more details on Attah's stewardship.

I can relate with what you said and how AKS planted itself in the comity of rich and developing states. I recall the onshore/offshore dichotomy fight during OBJ's era and how that shot the state into one of the richest by federally allocated revenue.

I've often said that debt in itself is not bad provided it is used for infrastructure development thereby increasing productivity, creates jobs and pays back the loans. Will be good to see how AKS has measured up against these.
