pssword: Why do people write about Akwaibom without at least doing their homework. The airport was started by the previous government to a very advanced state and completed by Akpabio. Also most of the major roads going somewhere were started by the previous government, like the road to Le Meridian and Calabar. The others, well, go nowhere and are just waste of resources.. Nairaland seems to be shifting towards a trend of opposing parties giving their views not based on truth but political affiliations. IMHO as someone that passes through AK ,Attah did well but Akpabio has far dwarfed him in achievements. 1 Like |

My friend stop right there. You may fool non-indigenes with this post of yours, but not me. Attah spent EIGHT BLOODY YEARS "planning" but did zilch/nada/nothing. During his tenure, Akwa Ibom was no better than Ekiti state. And please tell the house what "advance" stage Attah left the Airport project, and please do not lie to anyone here. It was during the first year of Akpabio's tenure that the construction of the runway, taxiways, the massive MRO facility, and other facilities began. I doubt if Attah even cleared the fucking bushes. And which bloody road did Attah build during his 8 year tenure. Is it the old Abak road that was filled with so many pot holes I stopped counting? Or the Abak-Afaha Obong-Ikot Ekpene road that was almost cut off by gully erosion? Hey, maybe it was the old Etim Ekpo road that looked like something from National Geographic? Please stop spewing lies and give Gov. Akpabio his dues. That man has performed. |

Until the so called bridge is completed, third mainland bridge remains the longest. |

Trust me ndiongo ke nsido. It is most of the poster here such as Beaf and others are not posting to be happy for Akwa ibom but they are posting to try to ridicule Fashola. Which is quite daf.t. Mmekom abasi that Akwa Ibom people are waking up to the sort of Ideeiots we have on Nairaland. Ka dio |

^ You are obsessed with Beaf, aint you? Everywhere you go its "Beaf! Beaf! Beaf!" Lol! You wanna be me, but find yourself too daft, init? Akpabio is the best governor, no matter your usual foolish comments. |

So there's no bridge. It is just dreams. Waste of time |
Re: Akwa Ibom Bridge The Longest In Africa? by MrEverest(m): 11:37pm On Mar 27, 2012 |
we should give kudos to whom it's due, the man is working. if every governor in Nigeria would be like these great men( Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Babatunde Raji Fashola, Godswill Akpabio, Adams Oshiomole) then every Nigerian would have seen the dividends of democracy |

The post above was not in support of Attah, if you that is what you think. Attah also started the science and technology centre but never finished amongst other white elephant projects. Akpabio did not initiate the airport and the infrastructure was developed upto a significant state before he took over. Don't forget that Akpabio was also Attah's commissioner and best friend who benefited from the farce before they fell out. These infrastructures are white elephants projects designed to siphon money out without any real benefits to the indigenes of the state. Just like his predecessor, there is no forward thinking, or an thought of the people in the state. How many have got jobs and I'm not talking about his contract lackeys. With all that resource the state is still choking in under-development and poverty while he sprays money from one whimsical ceremony to another.. waste of space. |

crusifis: i did my nysc at akwaibom, ikotekpene to be precise. yes, he is building very good roads, but for no reason, u will see a good road leading to no where, no houses, schools or anythinh, but road go just dey, make e be say e dey. i think roads should be built where they have economic value, the same way peter obi is doing on point! can yu imagine installin a traffic lightt in a junction with no more than 100 okada and 20vehicles a day?? it happpens in ikot ekpene. i live and work here in uyo and undaastands how PR works for dese governmeent people |

With all that resource the state is still choking in under-development and poverty while he sprays money from one whimsical ceremony to another.. waste of space. I think U are 80% correct with your assertion. Attah had what people may call 'vision', but he was beclouded by PDP patronage and using contracts as political compensations. Hence, all the urban roads he awarded contracts in his 1st tenure were all failure. The ones done in his 2nd tenure were mostly inferior. But, at least he had the ideas or maybe vision? Akpabio on the other hand has tried to be more pragmatic in his execution of projects though he's too loquacious(at least for me). Not many governors or political office holders would continue/complete projects started by the previous administration, especially given how they fell-out with each other. Those dis-crediting Akpabio are just being self-centered, most of them want their godfathers to have d contracts and leave them undone as they did in Attah's tenure. I still believe more can be done and with transparency. Those shouting about human development, get your facts correct!! During Attah's regime, more than 50 indigenes of the state were sent to Canada to study ICT, but the man that headed that program made a mess of it and used it to amass money meant for that program for himself n his cohorts. Those guys struggled to survive in Canada. They will never come back. On the other hand, the new teaching staff of the new university in the state that were sent for MSc/PhD in UK n US are still catered for by present administration till date. Some are already back to the new university.Though d program started during Attah's regime, but this administration has borne the greater part of that responsibility as Attah's administration paid for only the 1st yr. Most people wouldn't continue on that sponsorship. So, I think it is good not to talk out of sentiments. A lot still need to be done in AKS, but we need people to work together and stop over-dependence on the government. Any economy that will survive is private sector driven. If AKS now has good roads, investor should go in a build industries, farmers can bring their products to the city easily n cheap. 1 Like |

This is fake news. JOE EFFIONG & AMAOWO UDOFIA are paid Akpabio propagandists, there is no such thing. The only bridge under construction in that area is only a little over 1km long. The useless writers quoted and exaggerated the 20k road instead of the 1.5km bridge.
Keyword. the bridge which would be the longest in the east of the Niger The only people they are competing with are their poor AGIPA people next door... Suxs to be AGIPA. |

May thunder strike all of you claiming to have seen any bridge,am from that village there us no bridge ,the company sinoend has a few broken down vehicles and equipment scattered all over the place.all these publicity stunt when akpabio leaves office you will hear the true story whether he is a thief or a crook.his rise is a product of the nigerian media editors that are on his payroll he has not paid salaries since december and is yet to implement the 18000 minimum wage. |

Please, which communities will this longest bridge be linking? is it necessary to have the longest bridge that does not serve any purpose considering the amount of money that will be wasted on such a project. It's not like people will be employed for every kilometer of the bridge. |

Re: Akwa Ibom Bridge The Longest In Africa? by auroraequity: 6:58am On Dec 27, 2012 |
Some Inaccuracies here need correcting. For list of longest bridges - see: http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/topten/longestbridges.html (top ten) OR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_bridges_in_the_world (complete list) *** The Longest Bridge in Africa is 6th october (Egypt) at 20.5KM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_October_Bridge NOT third Mainland. It is also currently 26th in the world, so if this bridge gets completed at 21KM it will replace 6th October in 26th place not 3rd. |
