President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Akwa Ibom State featured the inauguration of several infrastructure projects, political engagements and discussions aimed at strengthening federal-state cooperation.
During the trip, the President commissioned the new International Terminal Building, International Airport Hospital and Ibom Aviation Village at the Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo.
He also inaugurated the Airport–Okopedi Road, Ring Road 3, the AKWA-GIS Office Complex, the Command and Control Centre and the ARISE Palm Resort.
A major highlight of the visit was Tinubu’s approval of the proposed Ibom Deep Seaport, following a request by Governor Umo Eno. The President also granted the airport full international status.
The engagements formed part of efforts to support economic transformation in the state and enhance its development trajectory through improved infrastructure and investment opportunities.
The visit included political rallies organised by the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.
