Akwa Ibom State Governor to complete Science Park
Emmanuel
Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel has pledged to complete the Science Park, which the Godswill Akpabio administration abandoned.
Akpabio is said to have inherited the project from the Obong Victor Attah administration.
It was allegedAkpabio abandoned it because his predecessor did not support his ambition to become governor.
Emmanuel gave the project a priority in next year’s budget, which he presented, last week, to the House of Assembly.
The proposed N426 billion budget is N58 billion lower than last year’s N484 billion budget.
The residents hailed the governor for planning to complete the project and recruit more teachers next year.
Emmanuel’s other plans include growing agriculture as a business; opening up more rural communities; industrialisation through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Public Private Partnership (PPP) and the completion of the multi-billion Ibom Tropicana Entertainment Centre.
