""The focus of this government will be directed at ensuring
the provision of infrastructure, (roads, power, water, healthcare, education) and
in particular, the completion of key projects of the immediate past administration.
These include the Ibom Power Plant, Science and Technology Park, Ibom Le' Meriden
& Golf Resort, the International Airport, and the Akwa Ibom University of Technology,
among others. Since then I have put in place a roadmap for actualising this
vision in order to transform our infrastructural challenges from remaining as obstacles
to becoming catalysts of poverty alleviation and sustainable development. This objective
requires a positive and dynamic partnership between the public and the private sectors
as has now become the norm across the globe."

development the dignity of the Akwa Ibom citizen. With the governments promotion
of gender equality, child rights, free and compulsory education, elevated staff

Akwa Ibom State mega projects have economic impact rippling beyond the shores of
the State up to the nation, the region and the international community as a whole.
These are projects that will involve large scale macro economic benefits as they
affect more sectors and require a larger population mix to realise.
These projects will involve technical partners who will further invest through the
state's Public Private Partnership (PPP) or Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement.
The state will plan these projects by providing comprehensive feasibility studies
and ensuring sustainability, environmental soundness, and social equity by working
through appropriate government agencies.
