President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the international terminal building, airport hospital and Ibom Aviation Village at the Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, commending Governor Umo Eno for sustaining the state’s aviation development vision.

 

Speaking during his visit on Friday, November 6, Tinubu described the occasion as a homecoming, recalling his earlier years working with Mobil in the state.

The President said the airport’s international operations would strengthen connectivity, attract investment, boost tourism and create economic opportunities for the state.

 

He also commissioned several other projects, including the Airport-Okopedi Road, Ring Road 3, and the AKWA-GIS Office Complex.

 

At a subsequent gathering, Tinubu approved the proposed Ibom Deep Seaport, describing it as another major opportunity to expand Akwa Ibom’s commercial and economic potential.

 

He further urged residents to remain vigilant and proactive ahead of the 2027 general elections.
