Nsima Ekere: Akwa Ibom Airport Will Be Renamed After Victor Attah, Tropicana Entertainment Centre after Late Obong Akpan Isemin

The Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Mr. Nsima Ekere, has promised to rename the Akwa Ibom International Airport, Uyo, after a former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, if elected Governor in 2019.

Ekere, who spoke at the special solidarity rally for him and President Muhammadu Buhari by the people of Akwa Ibom North-East Senatorial District at Uyo Township Stadium on Saturday, said Attah deserved the honour being the initiator of the airport.

He equally promised to rename one of the best dualized roads in the Akwa Ibom State after the immediate past Governor of the state, Senator Godswill Akpabio, in appreciation of his uncommon infrastructural development of the state.

Similarly, the pioneer civilian Governor of the state, Late Obong Akpan Isemin, will be honoured with the renaming of the Tropicana Entertainment Centre, Uyo, after him.

Ekere explained that the gestures were intended to appreciate the three former Governors for their tremendous contributions to the development of the state.

*"The incoming APC government will run a unity government in which all the leaders and stakeholders of Akwa Ibom State will be recognized," he promised.* "We will run a government that will look after the people of the state."

The NDDC boss pledged that the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) State Government will focus on building the economy of the state, creating employment opportunities and revamping agriculture.

*Ekere particularly singled out the Ibom Deep Seaport at Ibaka, Mbo Local Government Area, as one project the APC government will execute because it was capable of creating thousands of jobs and transforming the economy of the state.*

It's quite a petty that Obong Attah isn't recognized in Akwa Ibom. It's time we have a big project named after him
