The commendation is coming against the backdrop of the presidential enabling business environment council which recently ranked Akwa Ibom 4th in ease of doing business in the country.
The report is said to have confirmed the “preparedness of the state to host the world and also create more employment avenues for its people.”
According to a statement, “with the approval for the implementation of the Ibom Deep Sea Port by the Federal Government, the investment by the state government in the aviation industry and with enhanced road infrastructure, the state is positioned to become a strong economic hub in the country.”
