""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."
The government has been pragmatic in the initiation of projects that would be of economic benefit to the people of the state.
Much more worthy of note is the total number of 750 interministerial direct labour projects completed within two years of Gov. Akpabio's administration. These projects include school buildings, electrification of communities; provision of potable water through Mini-Water Schemes, provision of fishing boats/outboard engines for fishermen in the oil producing areas and reconstruction of health facilities in the state.
Government understnds that the general skill levels needed in the work force are going up and is addressing this with in service training, automation, change of environment.
