The most important resource Akwa Ibom has is its people, especially its young people.
Governor @_PastorUmoEno is investing in places where that potential can be developed, refined and transformed into economic value.

Governor @_PastorUmoEno is showing that grassroots development isn’t only about roads and buildings. Affordable transportation that reaches communities across the state is also part of taking development to the people.
Healthcare infrastructure is not glamorous work, but it is important work. Governor @_PastorUmoEno is investing in facilities that can directly affect the health and wellbeing of people at the grassroots.
A road project may look like concrete and asphalt from a distance. For the people who use it daily, it means easier journeys, better access and more opportunities. Governor @_PastorUmoEno understands that connection.
From subsistence to mechanisation is not just a farming upgrade. It is a life upgrade. It means better income, better nutrition, better futures for farming families across Akwa Ibom. #ARISEAgenda
From local airport to global standard. Boarding bridge, self check-in, smart scanners and now Ghana route. Uyo dey enter big league quietly. #UyoToAccra
I am pleased to announce that following Presidential approval for the upgrade of Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, to international status, the maiden international flight from Uyo to Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana, is set to take off on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
The historic flight will be operated by our flagship carrier, Ibom Air, with a return flight scheduled for Sunday, May 3, 2026.
This milestone marks another major step in our commitment to expanding aviation capacity, improving global connectivity, and positioning Akwa Ibom as a preferred destination for tourism, trade, and investment.
I deeply appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for granting the approval, and the Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, for his support in making this vision a reality. I also acknowledge the contributions of past leaders who laid the foundation for the growth of our aviation sector.
God, your unfailing love has carried me through the ups and downs, and I'm blessed to see another year of my life.
Happy birthday, dear self. ✨✨✨

The recent pronouncement by the US government declaring Nigeria a ‘Country of Particular Concern' (CPC) and indicating possible military action should give every well-meaning Nigerian serious concern.
There is no doubt that Nigeria is experiencing an unprecedented level of insecurity with attendant carnage and the most shocking loss of lives and property. According to Amnesty International, over 10,000 people have been killed in Nigeria since May 2023 and as I have repeatedly lamented, the unwarranted and unprovoked killing of Nigerians is most condemnable, and all efforts must be made to bring it to a stop. It is equally important to state that the terrible situation is significantly avoidable with competent leadership and governance.
While the insecurity did not start with the present government, what is most unfortunate is the lack and absence of competence, commitment, prudent use of resources, patriotism and passion on the part of APC APC-led government/leaders to effectively govern, galvanise and lead Nigeria where no one is unwarrantedly oppressed and killed, a Nation where peace, truth and justice reign!
As democracies, Nigeria and the US have long been strategic partners committed to regional peace and security. That relationship should not falter. The present situation calls for constructive diplomatic and any other plausible engagement by both nations aimed at addressing the prevailing and disturbing security concerns. Both countries must work in concert and expeditiously towards that purpose. -PO
