This state has all it takes to be the next schenzhen or Dubai of Africa, currently it has the work force , the land , a little capital, coastal waters , proximity to market in Aba ,port harcourt and Onitsha and proximity to large hectares of agricultural land in Benue and cross River.

All it needs is to host a power city were agricultural and industrial will collide and products will be shipped out to neighbor state and to the world via a seaport

I'm not even from Akwa Ibom but I want so badly for those things to happen to this state. I only ever hear good news from there.

I pray to God and our ancestors and the motherland that something changes in the next election. Nigeria could be on the path of rapid development in the next 6-7 years.

what is the name of that local government?

Oruk Anan

Oruk Anan LGA.

plusfield:
In the south, the state govts build their airports with their resources and then hand them over to the FG, but in the north, the FG build the airports in the northern states

Akwa Ibom airport is own by the State, and has not been handed over, and will not be handed over to the federal government.

nairalee:
Misplaced priorities

How is it a misplaced priority when it has been in operation long ago?

Danny50:
Oil wells stole from cross river been put to use.

Stolen by whom, and from whom. Common sense is lacking. Na jealousy dey worry you sef

SHINJA:


Igbo's and hate ..

You see why other tribes don't like you guys .


God bless Southsouth and Southwest.

no one is hating I am related to Yoruba in Ile ife and my wife is from Ife in Osun state and moreover the oponu started by condemning the one built by Dave that's why I attacked him

Owologbo:

Oruk Anan LGA.

Do you know that Akamkpa LGA of Cross River State alone is almost equal to the size of Akwa Ibom State? We have many other equally big LGAs totalling 18. Akwa Ibom LGAs are like Wards in Cross River State

Wow! Amazing Akwa Ibom Nnyin.
indeed, Akwa Ibom is Rising!
Udomisworking!
Completion Agenda ls On Course
May God Almighty continue to bless Akwa Ibom State with good, hardworking, selfless, purposeful, and visionary leaders who will always have the interest of the state and her people at heart at all times.

Uptheante:
They receive one of the highest federal allocation in the south that's why they have enough finance to execute such gigantic & world-class projects.
You can't say the same about states like Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Osun, & Cross Rivers which receive far less amount hence their low level of development

.

Remove Bayelsa State from that list they ranked tops in terms of Federal Allocation with just 8LGAs.

I wasn't referring to Cross River State.
I've not been to River State before, so I don't know any of their LGA.
I was replying the person that said Akwa Ibom doesn't have land.

Really

plusfield:
In the south, the state govts build their airports with their resources and then hand them over to the FG, but in the north, the FG build the airports in the northern states

After FG builds, then northern youths under the moniker 'Boko Haram' bomb it into smithereens.

I don't know why most northern parts are always wastelands.

anonimi:


Another validation of Lord Luggard’s assessment of us blacks, in the absence of any employment of teachers to have every Akwa Ibom child in free schools?

You did not factor into his equation ,the devastation and social instability that affected the natural flow rate of socio economic progress in West African nationalities.........Question you should be asking is "what will West African societies have been like,without 400 years of slavery and colonialism" !!

400 years of us blacks raiding, capturing and selling our brethren to Arabs and whites as the Jews sold Joseph (Yusuf) to the Egyptians

NigeriaIsDoomed:
Mumu don't say what you don't know. Just tell the world that you are pained and envious of the development in your sister state.
Lest you forget, it was the government of your state under Liyel Imoke that approached the law court and lost the case to Akwa Ibom, contrary to Akpabio's plea for the issue to be resolved out of court.
Moreover, Akwa Ibom also lost some oil wells to Rivers State and has never accused Rivers of stealing her oil wells for oneday so when you want to market your ignorance have your facts ready.

If Ebonyi state could be doing well with a paltry IGR and Federal Allocation, Cross Rivers has no justification for underperforming.
Hold your governor responsible for reducing Cross River to a shadow of itself, even the popular Obudu Cattle Ranche has now become dead cuz of the daft governor that you and your folks elected to preside over the affair of your state. Whose fault?

Stolen by your maternal brother Donald Duke to you guys.

The MRO (currently at 91% completion) will not only serve the maintenance needs of aircrafts in Nigeria but the entire African continents. It can accommodate two Boeing 747 at a lime and 8 smaller aircrafts

SmartPolician:
Akwa Ibom State is doing so much without noise.
May God bless Governor Udom Emmanuel!
PS: As Nigerians, we owe it to appreciate governors who are doing well because they are a constant reminder that Nigeria can still produce sane and public-spirited politicians.

This is true! And yet, you will vote for Th1efnubu!

Topmaike007:
the airport will bring about employment when you start talking about the people that would be working there so it is still win win God bless Dave Umahi the only Best performing Governor in Southern region with little allocation doing wonders I can even bet it with you that your Akwa ibom doesn't boast of the good roads built by Dave

lol firstly he is not from
Akwa ibom , secondly Akwa ibom is light years ahead southeastern states join together

Owologbo:


Have you been to Akwa Ibom before?
I'm a deltan but served in Akwa Ibom.
They have a LG that is bigger than some states in terms of landmass.

Don’t mind that guy
