Mr Commissioner take it easy. Corona is still around.
But why are all the pictures taken at night?

I'll like to see daytime pictures too

what? U don't mean it! Even after observing covid 19 protocols? Imagine if there is no covid.

Investment is one of the key to development pls tell buhari

Is good to run governance based on truth, o know people that haven’t visited the State will think the 1 billion profit is true. Is all lies, the profits is not up to even a 300M. However, talking about security Uyo in Akwa Ibom has witness insecurity since this month, day light robbery every day

jaxxy:
Lagos would rather build expensive and almost unaffordable real estate apartments and hotels littered all over expanse of land and call it tourism.

Thought I was the only one that noticed this. They are now trying to turn everywhere to real estate companies, no regard for agriculture, recreation, gardens or any other thing. Build, develop and sell. In the future, I foresee many estates having issues as government might want to use some lands or areas for something else, they can claim there was no consent and stuff. Especially those outsiders selling lands for people in Lagos, claiming developers. Many problems await people for that mainland when sanity returns back to the SW.

NkanAkpanika:

Senseless talk, Ibeno alone generate almost 15billion monthly for Akwa Ibom with its present of almost 12oil companies and services companies and you are insulting the 5th state with the highest IGR in the country... Nonsense

AKWA IBOM CHRISTMAS VILLAGE HAS GENERATED OVER N1BN WITHIN ONE MONTH

Since it was reopened on December 1, 2020, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Village has created a value worth over N1 billion, according to the State Government.

A statement by Orman Esin, the Commissioner for Tourism, Akwa Ibom State said that the Village was a testament to the fact that the state was ready for the business of tourism.


[/b]He stated this when a team of tour operators, stakeholders and journalists from Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt visited the state.[b]

He lamented that the with the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, the 2020 Christmas season looked bleak as annual events were cancelled all over the world, including the record setting annual 9999 event in Uyo, but the opening of the village had brought live back to the state and showcased the potential of the South-south state.

Akwa Ibom Christmas Village is set on a huge spread of land at the cultural centre, which allows for effective social distancing and respect of Covid-19 protocols, he said.


He stated that the rich tourism potential of the state was now ready for exploitation, stressing that the state had audited its tourism assets and would be launching out with programmes in the New Year to showcase them to the world.

The team visit to Akwa Ibom Christmas Village was led by Ikechi Uko, tourism expert Ambassador and members of the Seven Wonders of Nigeria project.

The visit was organised by Travellab an Uyo based travel company and were hosted by the State Tourism Ministry.

The team was taken on a tour of some locations in Akwa Ibom guided by Prof. Edem Eniang, a Biodiversity expert.

They visited the Itam sacred Monkey Sanctuary and from there went to Itu confluence town where Cross River and River Eniong meets. They visited the Mary Slessor Heritage Sites. After a tour of Ikot Abasi historical sites before lunch at Ibom Resort.

According to the Commissioner, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Village was the biggest Christmas event of its kind in Africa with the size of its location and potential for growth.[b][/b]

“Over 600 vendors attract thousands of visitors every evening. This will become a must visit place in Nigeria every December,” he said.

Holycity:
1b naira when the vendor there can even recover their money, we paid 65k for a kiosk, still pay for cutting grass, still pay for wiring, etc, spending more than 150k to make the kiosk presentable, una get hrt make more than 900 kiosks and still expect vendors to make gain, Wen last year it was just 300 kiosk, this our government are so greedy. yesterday one woman was crying she carry loan money come invest she no collect initial vestments money, some carpenters were made the kiosks they still no pay uptil today...
make government make 1billion and the vendor that actually made you had that amount, you forgot them, all this days governor no come one day....


ibom Christmas village Na scams

udom you try

You get kiosk for there?

ayandee:
beautiful picture. Where was this taken please? Nigeria ?

Crush rock mpape

They have this , they have that yet their girls chose prostitution over securing a better job .
Maybe they should concentrate on educating their girls more on the dangers of ....

This is what they call profitable investment.

Not building a train that runs with only 3 passengers..

Kingosytex:
Building such structures is much better than flying down to Dubai to burn Naira.

Akwa Ibom is a very nice place to stay, those guys have wonderful road network.

I think the have the best road network in Nigeria(or at least those parts of Nigeria i have gone to).

The Akwa Ibom is the only Govt in Nigeria, past and present, i can use the word " Transformation " for. If you knew Akwa Obom before and after Akpabio, you would understand what am talking about. That man transformed a state. And this present Govt seem to be following in same vein, at least to some extent. If the next Govt is a conscientious "interuptive" Leader, the state would have no equal in Nigeria. It is already been set up for that.

2 other states that is at some distance from Akwa Ibom in this view is Anambra(since Ngige to Presnt Govt) and Lagos(in tinubu and Fashola time mainly). Whilst some states have seriously derailed e.g Cross River(after Duke) and maybe Gombe.

NkanAkpanika:

Pls this is Akwa-Ibom not calabar (Cross River state) we don't have security changes mbok

love this place so much
i was there live last year

It's so amazing how this fellow just couldn't admit that he was wrong.

In fact he actually pressed in when he was called out and changed the goal post from Uyo to Nigeria.

Never partner with people like this because they are incapable of taking responsibility when they are wrong. I know many of this type and they are a pain in the arse.

ogmask:


Is uyo not in Nigeria Bro?
Maybe you think everyone flies to uyo ba? Let's assume without conceding that uyo is Eldorado without security concerns what about getting to uyo by road. How safe are the highways?

Kingosytex:

Akwa Ibom is a very nice place to stay, those guys have wonderful road network.

Sure that roads ehhh

the dey I passed there from Arochukwu, abia state , to PH hmmmm! mhenn!

For example imagine CMS to epe there is no pot hole or spoilt road those who are in Lagos knows the distance from CMS to epe

it was wow

Holycity:

500 kiosk would have been fair enough...
last year it was 300... this year 900+

Sorry dear that mean you didn't recover your money

NkanAkpanika:

Pls this is Akwa-Ibom not calabar (Cross River state) we don't have security changes mbok

He wasn't wrong about his statement. He knows the difference between both states and obviously informed about the situations there.

Holycity:


you are right...
insecurities in the state is really scaring people away...
I just wasted my money for nothing...

Insecurity is in Uyo too, I thought the state is very safe

All these big heads politicians in the east need to learn from Akwa Ibom.
Ordinary Enugu international airport never gree them finish months after commissioning it.

To be Candid, This is type of innovative Seyi Makinde should bring, innovative that will serve as source of revenue to the state. And not decorating Iworoad to Agodi Govt house with Christmas lights and trees

EPOMA:


Last 4 weeks in Uyo has been terrible , point blank shooting just to snatch fone , A couple macheted just to snatch their car . Police were helpless because they did not even have patrol cars and they were upset after the gov said he spent 22 billion on security 2019. Udom has been really terrible for Akwa Ibom and you can see all he does with his few people is to go telling lies on facebook . This Article was pulled from facebook , that is where he can afford his E-teams to lie for him .
I will count myself very Lucky because I was to loan 2 people 100k each for huts at the xmas village . They would not have been able to pay back as people are so scared to go out . So much robbery the last 4 weeks

Lol, that's a big lie bro.. Relax even your follows liers knows there is no way you get robbed like that in uyo maybe you were referring Iraq of Nigeria (rivers state)

TheLasyBuddha:


He wasn't wrong about his statement. He knows the difference between both states and obviously informed about the situations there.

Some people are just ignorant to the fact that it's two different state ok..
Meanwhile Akwa ibom is very safe

vioment:
Smart move.

Yeah

EPOMA:


Udom is not interested with anything in Akwa Ibom , he currently stays in Lagos and hurriedly flies into Uyo and just lies and off he goes .Nigeria is in a mess from top to bottom

That's your personal opinion, so own it up alone ok

EPOMA:


Sorry dear , Every evening I ask a friend how the place is and she is not making anything . I have been wondering if the commissioner has a central till to know that 1 billion naira has been made. Given there is 600 huts , so each hut most have generated roughly 1.4 million naira each. Last year people that I know generated 600k for the month when there was no covid or crime . People just derive pleasure in telling lies

Nonsense lier
