Excellent leadership

In Paris, France, I led a high-level technical session with Africa Global Logistics (AGL) Group and other partners on the Ibom Deep Sea Port Project.

The meeting reviewed the recently completed technical feasibility report and focused on the next steps required to move the project from planning to execution. I emphasized the need for clear timelines, defined milestones, and accelerated implementation.

The Ibom Deep Sea Port remains a key strategic project for our State. We are committed to working with our partners to bring this vision to reality and position Akwa Ibom as a major maritime, trade, and logistics destination.

I returned from the maiden international flight from Accra to Uyo with a deep sense of joy at what we have achieved with the Victor Attah International Airport.

This will open up more opportunities in tourism, trade, and investment, and make it easier for us to connect with other countries within the sub-region. It also puts Uyo in a strong position to host more conferences and business activities.

To give this sector greater focus, I have directed the creation of a standalone Ministry of Aviation and Airport Development, and have appointed Engr. Uwem Ekanem to oversee the ministry pending the appointment of a substantive Commissioner. @ibomairlines will also receive a new Airbus A220 in June as we continue to expand our fleet and strengthen our aviation capacity.

I appreciate His Excellency, @officialABAT President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Honourable Minister of Aviation, @fkeyamo Festus Keyamo, SAN, for their support. I also acknowledge past leaders who laid the foundation for this achievement.

We will continue to build on this progress and ensure it brings real value to our people.

🛑SPECIAL ISSUE ON THE INAUGURAL INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT🛑
👇👇👇👇👇

FROM UYO: FOR THE FIRST TIME

By: Richard Okon

Akwa Ibom State has once again etched its name in history with the successful maiden international flight from the brand-new smart neo- terminal building at the Victor Attah International Airport, VAIA, Uyo, after its certification to handle international operations by Nigeria's aviation authorities, to the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana, on May 2, 2026.

This landmark event goes far beyond the symbolism of a maiden flight. It represents the practical realization of a bold aviation vision, one that has transformed aspiration into reality and infrastructure into economic opportunity. For Akwa Ibom, this is not just a takeoff; it is a declaration of readiness to engage the world on its own terms.

This significant achievement is profound in many ways;

First, it establishes Akwa Ibom as a strategic player in regional aviation connectivity. A direct Uyo - Accra route, just like many other routes that will follow, will open a vital corridor between Nigeria and some of Africa’s most dynamic economies, as well as the rest of the world, unlocking new opportunities for trade, tourism, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. This connection will reduce travel barriers, enhance mobility, and strengthen economic integration across the subregion, and the globe at large.

Secondly, it signals the coming of age of Ibom Air as a regional aviation force. In less than six years, the airline has evolved from a bold state initiative into one of Nigeria’s most respected carriers, known for safety, punctuality, and service excellence. With this inaugural international operation from her own base airport, Ibom Air has demonstrated capacity, credibility, and ambition, proving that a government-owned airline can compete effectively beyond domestic borders.

Thirdly, the use of the newly completed smart neo- terminal building underscores the deliberate alignment between infrastructure investment and economic outcomes. Designed with cutting-edge technology, automated systems, and passenger-centric features, the terminal is not just a https://t.co/QHHbMeYeri is a gateway engineered for efficiency, comfort, and global standards. It positions Akwa Ibom to handle increased passenger traffic and international operations with ease.

During the inaugural flight, the Minister of Aviation & Aerospace Development, Festus Kayamo, SAN, had this to say; “What you have at Victor Attah International Airport is not just a terminal building, it is a transit hub. Nothing like it exists at any sub-national level anywhere in the country. This is not the best, it is the only one of its kind. There is no basis for comparison because there is no other.”

This milestone did not happen by chance. Under the leadership of Governor Umo Eno, Akwa Ibom has pursued a deliberate and integrated aviation strategy, building on the solid foundation laid by previous administrations.

Today, the VAIA stands as one of the most advanced aviation ecosystems in West Africa, featuring:

🔥A world-class Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility
🔥A cargo and logistics terminal designed to boost exports
🔥A Category II runway supporting both passenger and cargo aircraft
🔥An Aviation Village with training institutions and residential facilities
🔥A modern Airport Clinic meeting international safety standards
🔥A VIP Hangar for executive and private aviation
🔥A multi-lane expressway linking the airport seamlessly to Uyo
🔥And now, a fully operational smart terminal serving as the hub of international travel

These investments are no longer projections, they are now actively enabling real economic activity, as demonstrated by today’s inaugural flight.

This international flight action marks the beginning of a new economic chapter for Akwa Ibom State.

On behalf of my family and the good people of Akwa Ibom State, I sincerely thank everyone for the love, prayers, calls, messages, and goodwill extended to me on the occasion of my 62nd birthday.

I deeply appreciate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR; our First Lady, Distinguished Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON; the Senate President, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON; my brother governors, former governors, members of the National Assembly, political leaders, traditional rulers, clergy, youths, women, students, and all Akwa Ibomites for the overwhelming show of love.

I remain convinced that if we continue to stay united, shun bitterness, and work together in peace, the future of our State will be brighter for all.

My joy was made complete by celebrating the day with children in special homes at Divine Children’s Home, Atan Offot, Uyo. Seeing their smiles, hope, songs, and joy was deeply fulfilling.

Thank you for also reaching out to the poor and vulnerable in place of gifts. May God bless you all richly, and God bless Akwa Ibom.

Did you know the Medical Residence at Medical Village was designed to house doctors, nurses and other health workers close to the Ibom International Hospital? Good healthcare also starts with where medical staff live. #ARISEProjectImpact
