I’ve met my people’s needs –Akpabio

Akwa Ibom State G o v e r n m e n t Godswill Akpa­bio, has taken stock of his eight-year rule, insisting that he has satisfied the desires of his people.
Addressing a press confer­ence in Uyo yesterday, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr. An­iekan Umanah, said though the journey was a long and challenging one, Akpabio’s administration had made very remarkable strides in the last eight years.
“Within eight years of the outgoing administration, so much has been achieved in all sectors, and encapsulated into what has been generally referred to as the uncommon transformation of our dear state. This has been made pos­sible by properly channelling the resources of the state to ar­eas of critical needs,” he stated.
Umanah enumerated the government’s achievements to include free medical care for children and pregnant women, five brand new flyovers and 35 bridges across the state, completion of the 191 mega­watts Ibom Power Plant, con­struction and commissioning of a glass processing plant and 24,000 housing units.
The commissioner applaud­ed the Federal Government for approving the Ibaka Deep Seaport project, assuring that the incoming governments at the centre and the state would ensure the realization of the project in partnership with the private sector.
