FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON: FROM A MONUMENT INTO A NEW HAVEN
Governor Udom Emmanuel’s deliberate efforts at registering the State on the global business map has been further heightened with the recent commencement of commercial activities at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Ikot Ekpene.
When Mr Emmanuel took over as Governor in May 2015, the hotel which was commissioned by his predecessor three days before he handover the baton, was at sixty eight percent completion, as rated by international hotel evaluation standards and several people would have thought that the new administration would pay deaf attention to its completion.
What was on ground was a giant building without the basic requirements for a standard hotel of international repute. Thus the potential investors, then Sheraton group, turned down all overtures by the State Government to takeover and commence business there. The group insisted that a building is not a hotel, and gave a long list of their prerequisites to be installed before they could even discussed deal.
On the heels of their contractual agreement with the State government in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Governor Udom Emmanuel ensured that all their requirements were provided, meeting all their specifications, and at a stretch approved and released all funds requested for that purpose.
This was deployed to drawing dedicated power lines to the hotel, transformers, installation of automatic voltage regulator, installation of specified equipment for the swimming pool, fixing of the conference and meeting rooms, installation of anti-bomb safety units around the hotel and several other requirements. Thanks
The effort also made it possible for the relevant areas in the hotel to be fenced as well as installation of standard security modalities at the gate. From that effort has emerged a world class magnificent eleven-floor hotel with one hundred and forty six modern guestrooms.
The hotel is a foresighted investment for the State due to its strategic location at Ikot Ekpene. Its location places it at an advantage for patronage as its proximity to neighbouring Abia and Cross River States. Ikot Ekpene itself is in close proximity with the Federal Polytechnic in Ukana, the State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua and the College of Science and Technology, Nung Ukim, Ikono. The locations and interconnectivity of these strategic institutions positions the Four Points By Sheraton hotel for business boom as patronage is guaranteed.
The hotel now has an app, and is seen on the global social media search engine under Marriott Group as the only Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Nigeria that is managed directly by the intentional hospitality organization.. Lalasticlala front page
ClintonEmex: Governor Udom Emmanuel has done profoundly and outstandingly well in Akwa Ibom State.
His achievements speak for themselves, he's one of the governors in Nigeria I admire a lot and wish to have in my state.
I wish Governors can be signed just like football managers, Abia State would have rushed to sign someone like Udom Emmanuel, who's a tested and trusted manager. Our Governors have sent us to relegation. We need redemption.
Some journalists in Akwa Ibom State today visited the Victor Attah International Airport: They saw what will be the smartest airport terminal building in Nigeria.
It is designed to have the best digital and automated facilities and can handle one million passengers a year.
Some key features of the unique International Smart Terminal Building are:
1. A digital self check-in by a robot, pre-planned before Covid-19
4. Moisture Control Technology (Damp Proofing) for Hot Seasons.
5. New Technologies and Best Practices Involving Synchronized Motors, Regeneration Converters, Control Software, Optimization of Counterweights and Cabin Lighting to Yield Significant Savings.
6. Daylighting and advanced occupancy and Dimming Functions to eliminate over-lit spaces.
7. Intelligent Transport Management Systems
8. Fully Integrated Alarm and Voice Evacuation System.
9. Infrared toilet system with automatic flushing system.
10. Automation of Immigration Processes and Centers.
It is one of the bold impressions of the #UdomLegacy and the #CompletionAgenda
Uptheante: But most communities in Bayelsa state are battling with effects of environmental degradation like oil spills, contamination of water bodies etc. They are also battling with insecurities like militancy & kidnapping. So I believe that most of their allocation goes into tackling these issues. Hence, they have little money left for developmental projects & empowerment programmes for their citizens even if their allocation may be higher compared to those states that lack these challenges.
lame excuse for an 8LGA state with 1.3m population
Uptheante: In the case of Delta State, most of their allocation goes into tackling insecurity hence, they have little left for developmental projects. This is even coupled with the fact that the state is even larger & more populated than Akwa Ibom
oboy your lying excuses are non to be compared .. you keep throwing out lies to sort yourself chai. They are almost same population
Freeman50: The only road in Uyo that Akwa Ibom state government was confused on how to tackle the flood that's attacking that area. Let's see whether this new project will solve the problem.
Babysho: 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.
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
Correction: delta received the highest while rivers have the highest IGR so rest
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.
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
mmsen: If they fixed the roads to between the cities in that area or built rail that could transport people around the delta and into the east it could be a real aviation hub for that region.
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
You’re right but Akwa Ibom own is state owned airport
