Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has assured Akwa Ibom indigenes resident in the Federal Capital Territory of more developmental projects, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to inclusive growth, strategic asset repositioning, and improved welfare for citizens both at home and in the diaspora.

The Governor gave the assurance during his visit to the Akwa Ibom Community in Abuja, where he attended the community’s general meeting on Sunday, February 8, 2026, and engaged members on the development priorities of his administration under the ARISE Agenda.

Addressing the gathering, Governor Eno disclosed plans for the Ibom Hotels and Apartments Project in Abuja, which will replace the moribund old liaison office, transforming the asset into a viable hospitality and commercial hub capable of generating revenue for the state and creating employment opportunities.

He also announced plans for the development of an Ibom Housing Estate in Abuja to provide decent and affordable accommodation for Akwa Ibom indigenes resident in the nation’s capital.

Beyond road infrastructure, the Governor highlighted several key projects executed by his administration across multiple sectors, stressing that development under the ARISE Agenda extends well beyond the construction of 1,210 kilometres of roads across the state.

According to him, the administration is currently implementing 84 priority projects strategically spread across critical sectors including tourism, transportation, aviation, maritime development, healthcare, education, rural development, housing, water supply, and economic empowerment.

“Our development drive is holistic. Beyond roads, we have deliberately focused on projects that directly touch lives and strengthen communities across Akwa Ibom State,” Governor Eno said.

Earlier, the President of the Community, Nkpisong Barr. Gabriel Fan, commended Governor Eno for the developmental strides recorded under the ARISE Agenda and pledged the full support of the community for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Umo Eno ahead of 2027. He also decorated the Governor as the Grand Patron of the Community, in recognition of his leadership and commitment to the welfare of Akwa Ibom people.

As a demonstration of his commitment to the welfare of the community, Governor Eno donated an 18-seater bus to the Akwa Ibom Community in Abuja, a gesture that drew applause from members and guests.
