How can anybody compare Akwa Ibom stadium built by Governor Akpabio and that of Governor Amaechi? Akwa Ibom stadium is fine but not be compared with Amaechi's own which is more like a sports institute where u can fine facilities for every sporting event ranging from football to volley ball to basket ball etc. What I saw in Akwa Ibom is just stadium. While that of Governor Amaechi is all encompassing. I give credit to both Governors for their developmental stride but I rate Amaechi's stadium higher .

Model Primary schools

At the inception of his administration, Governor Chibuike Amaechi placed a state of emergency on Education and took over the responsibility of Primary schools from the Local Government Councils. The Governor came up with the idea of building new model Primary schools to the standard of the United Nations and obtainable in developed parts of the world. With a target of 700 Model Primary Schools, the Amaechi administration has completed 500 across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State. They are equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch and Nursery playground.

Model Secondary Schools

24 model Secondary Schools are being built, 1 in each Local Government Area, well structured and fully equipped with modern day educational, recreation and boarding facilities with standard housing for teachers, these secondary schools have grossly been referred to by observers as Universities.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi has consistently regarded power as key to economic development of the State, thus his administration has worked fervently in the areas of Power Generation, Transmission, Rural electrification and intervention schemes to achieve 24 hours power supply, while negotiations are on with the Federal Government to facilitate distribution which constitutionally is the sole responsibility of the Federal Government.

On Power Generation, the government targets 715 megawatts of Power to ensure adequate power supply in the State. 460 mega watts have been completed, 130MW at Trans Amadi, 150MW at Omoku, 180MW at Afam. 75MW at Onne is still ongoing while another 180MW at Afam is underway to make a total of 715 Mega Watts.
