Tinubu to Commission Major Akwa Ibom Projects, Attend APC Rally in Rivers
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will on Friday, November 6, visit Akwa Ibom State to commission major infrastructure projects executed by Governor Umo Eno’s administration before proceeding to Rivers State on Saturday for an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu will begin the two-state visit in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, where he will commission several landmark projects.
The projects include the new International Terminal Building, International Airport Hospital and Ibom Aviation Village, all located at the Victor Attah International Airport.
The President is also expected to commission the Airport-Okopedi Road, which connects communities in Nsit Atai and Okobo Local Government Areas, as well as Ring Road 3 linking Idoro Road to Ikot Ekpene Road through Uyo and Ibiono Ibom.
Other projects scheduled for commissioning include the AKWA-GIS Office Complex, Command and Control Centre and ARISE Palm Resort.
Governor Umo Eno has declared Friday a work-free day across Akwa Ibom State to enable residents to welcome the President and participate in activities marking his visit.
Tinubu will depart for Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday to participate in an APC rally, marking his third political rally since he launched his re-election campaign in Kaduna last month.
The statement said the visits would also provide opportunities for the President to engage political stakeholders, party members and supporters, while reinforcing messages of unity, political stability and national progress.
