jazzydee: last time i was at the site some months back they were working on the second floor of the building. I dont know what the current situation is. But here is a link to the state information ministry they are very quick in responding to inquiries about their state projects you can channel your question there: https://www.facebook.com/AKSMinistryOfInformation

akpanakwaibom: sheraton ikot ekpene seems this project would be completed before our Governor hands over

BadBoy25: what do you mean?

Nalikedis: Oga o...when states like osun and ekiti are struggling with 2.5 billion allocation monthly akwa ibom can afford to build 60 billion stadium in less than 2 years....when aregbe is struggling to raise 10 billion to build 24 Mega schools all this guys can afford to build just one for 10 billion without feeling it.... atimes I can't reason this idea of one Nigeria where you are not allowed to plan or dictate your economic policies without federal interference but you are allocated 2.5 billion while some others get as much as 30 billion in the same 30 days month and the same population of about 4 million...uhn...can some one please tell me what the gain of most south western state is in one Nigeria

badboy25: 400 million dollars down the drain. this stadium will likely be destroyed during election period.

Aroca2013: Another Idi0t on this thread. Your own level of stupidity can not be measured. Get a life

Aroca2013: It's obvious you are a thief like your master Akpabio. You are so pathetic and i don't care whether you created this thread but i must let you know the truth and reality. You better stand for justice or else your children will be the one to suffer this. Do you think if Akpabio is using the state money as it should be,don't you think a lot of your brothers and sister doing houseboy and housegirl in the west wouldn't have relocated back home? Who wants to suffer in another man's land when he can get the best in his or her home town? Someone is saying the truth you are here defending a man that will leave office in some months time with all the looted funds. Change your ways cos this lifestyle doesn't pay.

Eyop: For you information i am not an APC member and i don't even support the party. In Akwa-Ibom state we know it's only one political party that is functional in the state and which is PDP. A candidate can be credible but if he's running under APC in AKS he or she is only wasting time atleast that will be the case for now till further notice. The same PDP candidate will be the one to disgrace this looter. I don't blame you,as an annang man you won't speak the truth when you know so.

Gorrbachev: looks nice. Na how much?

ijawcitizen: You lots are highly ignorant people who would never learn. You claim eastern Obolo and Ibeno are you Ibibio relatives and accuse us (Ijaws) of expansionist tendencies. I don't blame you lot a bit, its all because of the quietness and peaceful disposition of the Ijaws whom you've oppressed for so long and even started killing. I wish I could say more but be rest assured that Oil Rivers state will be created and the 2 Ijaw LGAs in Akwa ibom must be part of it. You better update ur knowledge of you so called Ibibio territory because these Ijaws are not ur properties nor ur slaves. Updating ur imperial anti-ibeno stance would help you from developing high BP when Oil Rivers is created. and the worst you guys could do is imitate shekau to terrorize Ibeno and Obolo ijaws, something you started doing since during the civil war and ofcourse nobody knew about it because Ijaws have not retaliated yet.

ijawcitizen: We Ijaws are definitely not in a conflict with ibibios, you're just in conflict with yourself due to ur ignorance. i'd always respected you and admired ur comments but never knew you're such a chauvinist. i think you're the one who needs to see ur elders (me) for some education now read up

Image123: I'm aware of politicians in Nigeria getting ludicrous money, it doesn't exonerate Akpabio's preposterous and obnoxious demands which attracted nationwide protest.
Anyway, beat it. i know and recognize Akpabio as performing compared to others including the FG. i hope it's not in your job description to defend Akpabio for right and wrong.

Soknown: Yes it does, many thanks. Another question- I could see some cables in the skyline(the pictures). I hope the cables are not above the hospital ?.

femiola3: which toll are you expecting when a state that s not up to a LCDA in other states is getting such a fat allocation from FG and 13% derivation.dont let us celebrate any politicians afterall is our money they are using...it does not take any brainstorming to do any construction if the money is available.

Soknown: The Governor is doing averagely ok compared to other states, But when you compare the huge revenue accruing to this state and the relatively small population ( about 6 million) and heavy debt profile one might have a rethink. He has laid a good infrastructure foundation, I think he could have done more in programs that impact directly on Akwa-Ibom citizens. I don't know about his programs on health, Education, Employment/Entrepreneur support. I don't reside in Akwa-ibom but do visit once in a while. it would be nice to hear from indigenes on the programs I mentioned.

IGBOSON1: There's more to a boulevard than just a multi-lane highway! Try Sunset Boulevard for a start!

Image123: Akpabio has tooooo much free money than not to work like this. He's a performer nonetheless. i wish all the other south south governors were this functional, and also the FG. Note that akwa ibom is affording to pay Akpabio more than 200million naira annually FOR PENSION. You can hardly compare the no eye blinking wealth of the south south to others.

bnovative: can u post the debt profile of akwa ibom state? And coming to census, it's appalling how u guys concoct figures to suit any purpose; the same way we were told that Kano is more populated than Lagos. How on earth do people claim Akwa ibom has a population of 6million? smh

Keneking: No matter how, this men would not avoid the wrath of EFCC. Even that woman is not excluded...

jazzydee: Anyone who walks or drives on Goodluck boulevard in Uyo will have goodluck Lol. ie If you need goodluck in your life visit Uyo and walk on that boulevard.

ijawcitizen: I'm really very disappointed in the comments from akwa Ibomites here esp ujoinme & utoroetti, i'm yet to get the opinion of ocelot2006. I'm Particularly disappointed that fellow niger deltans would oppose the progressive venture ijaw people have decided to undertake within ourselves. Ibibio have their own oil wells within their lands, ijaws don't envy your possession, why all these unnecessary envy, hate and envy on ijaw people on account of natural environment and resources? The Ignorance on ur path that you never knew Eastern Obolo &Ibeno were ijaws and not related to ibibio is truely appailing, some igbos here (esp paz ienza) brought up this argument sometime ago and i personally put them to shame, thats why its least expected of my akwa ibomites. i just can't imagine atlwireles or urhobos opposing ijaws who want out of delta state. i've also not heard of rivers igbos and ogonis accusing ijaw of "stealing their access to the sea". when did ibibio people acquire this negative bad belle igbo mindset?

ijawcitizen: It is nothing but insensitivity, jealousy and ingratitude. The Ijaw LGAs of Eastern Obolo & Ibeno have been feeding the state for decades now without benefiting up 1% of deserved development. Yet they still want the Ijaw people to remain in slavery as minorities to Ibibio people! This is the greed Niger deltans are yet to overcome. What is wrong with sticking to their God-given lands and allow Ijaws to do whatever they wish with our God-given lands and communities? This is unimaginable evil from our own Niger Delta brothers. Ijaws have been nothing but good brothers and even protectors to all Niger Deltans. The Ijaw nation is moving forward and there is nothing these ingrates who do not even represent the mindset of the average Akwa Ibomites can do about it
