""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."
"The present administration in the state is desirous of changing the situation as rapidly as possible. In this endeavour, we have dreamt big and we intend to actualise this dream in our generation."
Several link roads from Uyo the state capital to the different local governments are comfortable access roads. Vehicle owners are not in distress because their vehicles are used optimally in the state. The stress of very high maintenance budget experienced by many who reside in other parts of Nigeria is a problem they do not share.
Despite the good road network for which the state is well known, much of the state’s current success is attributed to the good sense of its present government. The year 2009 witnessed the dualisation of roads in the state especially access roads to the state capital from other states like the Calabar Itu road, while work is still on-going at the Itam junction where flyovers are being erected for easier access in and out of the state. Two good road relieves were constructed for Esit Eket in 2009 also.
