Akwa Ibom State commissioner for Information, Culture and Ethical Re-Orientation , Aniekan Umanah has heaped plaudits on Governor Godswill Akpabio for his uncommon foresight of building an international stadium for Akwa Ibom and Nigerian youths.
The 30,000 seater stadium was unveiled by three Presidents, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of Nigeria, Alhassan Quattara of Cote d’Ivoire and John Dramani Mahama of Ghana, the first time in Nigeria that three Presidents were present in a function in a state.
“Governor Akpabio has shot Akwa Ibom into international reckoning. Not only has the state become a tourist destination, it has become the nation’s new Mecca of sports’’, an overwhelmed Umanah who worked tirelessly to co-ordinate the world press that were in attendance for the opening of the stadium said.
“Akwa Ibom is blessed to have him as Governor. He has changed the face of the state, touched the lives of the people, provided indelible infrastructure.
He has taken the state to the pinnacle and the people are happy’’, Umanah said. At the Commissioning of the monumental stadium, Governor Akpabio said he was more interested in placing Akwa Ibom youths at the forefront to compete favourably with other youths of the world and to bring honours to the state and the country.
“There is going to be more Serenas to be discovered in Akwa Ibom. More Evander Holyfields will emerge from this state. We have realised that sports is a multi-million dollar earner.
Those in sports earn more than Governors. And I want Akwa Ibom youths to rub shoulders with them, make names for themselves and for the state and country’’, the sweet-talking Governor Akpabio said amidst sporadic applause for him.
Even President Goodluck Jonathan was moved by the amazing performance of Governor Akpabio that he re-called the sad old days when flood threatened many homes. ‘’Those days are gone as Governor Akpabio has transformed the state with his uncommon approach to governance,” the President said.-sunnews reportage.

ReplyDeleteThis stadium is a master piece, well done Akpabio, best south south governor, governor Amaechi learn from Akpabio.
Abeg dey shld stop making noise about dis stadium jo...30,000 capacity stadium in 2014 when Awolowo built over 70,000 capacity,olympic standard stadium with main-bowl n practicing pitches/courts for all sports in 1959
Deleteso someone has to build a 1,000,000 capacity stadium for their efforts to be appreciated?. the guy is doing his job, he was not elected Gov to build just a Stadium, every Govt has a budget to work with. if the Stadium was what the available budget was able to produce, then fine and good. it not a bad looking stadium, and people know this. how many other Governors in the country at the moment have embarked on such a project? also keep in mind that Akpabio has accomplished several other projects in Akwa-Ibom, and not just this Stadium. do Ur homework
Delete@ bitchplis (BentOuttaShape), Keep quiet if you have nothing to say. If someone has done well, its no big deal applauding him or her.
DeleteHian, its not the first time o...the day the gas company in my area here in Gasline, Ogun state was commisioned about 4 to 5 presidents came around....
ReplyDeleteHaven said that Nigerians are proud of Gov Akpabio, that stadium is da bomb mehn
The stadium look's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDaa kporo Utoho AkwaIbom..... Mkpo Utak Baaaaad. God bless GOA....God Bless Akwa Abasi Ibom State.... God bless Nigeria
ReplyDeleteHe tried
ReplyDeleteAkpabio is officially the best governor in Nigeria. Any objections? Lol..
ReplyDeleteLand of uncommon transformation!!
ReplyDeleteAkpabio outdid himself with that stadium men!! Exquisite!!
God bless you Akpabio!
If all our Govs will be doing at least one big project before their tenures finish, we won't have much problems. Yes, they will eat money but huge completed project like this make brain shah.
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteHe deserves it. Very good job he did there. He has really transformed Akwa-ibom. Akwa-into mites, mesere oooo
ReplyDeleteAs far as im concerned, Akpabio has outperformed other Governors. its not just the Stadium, he is the only Governor that has shown genuine concern for the welfare of Akwa-Ibom people. oya today, go and look for Akwa-Ibom House girl or boy, and see how difficult it is to find one. from Education to infrastructural development, Akwa-Ibom has felt the impact of his Administration. look at our Rivers state here, and all the money we have, yet nothing to show. Ameachi is busy doing white elephant Mono rail project that would never be completed. and pouring money on his Campaign. meanwhile so many Roads are in terrible condition, power supply is epileptic to none in most areas, i could go on. bottom line please give credit where its due!!
ReplyDeleteYou guys should leave the man alone jare. he has done an excellent job as far as I'm concerned. if most Governors tried to put in even half the effort Akpabio has in his Administration, i tell you the Country would be so much better.
ReplyDeleteFor me oh!!, the stadium is more or less a bonus from our Governor. anyone who is currently residing in Akwa-Ibom can attest to this. there's been so much done, and we can only pray the the next Governor would fill in the big shoes that will be left behind for him by the current administration. WE LOVE THE STADIUM!!, well done Gov Godswill.
ReplyDeleteAkpabio nwa. ....u too much nwa....God bless u nwa. I really don't care what dem bad belle are thinking. He is indeed a governor and if for any reason a governor should be given a third term, it should be akpabio
ReplyDeleteWhat a good job done. That man is just too good to his people. One thing I have got to understand is; he knows what is needed and he gets it done
ReplyDeleteGreat governor, great akwa ibom, great country. He is a very good politician. Keeps to his words and takes action as appropriate. That kind of man deserves d love of his people and he is indeed getting it abundantly.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I just wish I am from akwa ibom. Like seriously he is d best governor any state can have. How peaceful it will be if all governors are like this. *keep praying for Nigeria *
ReplyDeleteThe day this man will run for president , will be dah bom! He is humble, speaks the truth, caring and thoughtful. he is the best governor of the year.no doubt
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the kind of leader we've been praying for. Someone that will put us on the world map for something positive. God bless Gov. Akpabio, he has done well.
ReplyDeleteMehn, akwa-ibomites are enjoying o. See better governor. Na only to chop money our own sabi. I wish I fit decamp go akwaibom.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with this development. This is the kind of people we need as president of this country. It will be wise for the people of his state to nudge him to the national Assembly, because this man is a treasure they cant afford to lose. I pray God blesses us with more hardworking leaders like this.
ReplyDeleteIt was a notable fact fact that Akpabio has no comparison even before the unveiling of the stadium. In all, however, I just have to say 10 kposaaaa!!! for Gov. Godwill.
ReplyDeleteGreat one. Akpabio is a man of the people for the people and for the people. Let the legacy continues. If the constitution was not there, I would have suggested a life governor for him in Akwaibom state.
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows the best. Good wine need no bush. Akpabio carry go!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! The best governor in Nigeria. Akpabio is a man who stands by his word. If he says he would do something, be sure to know he would deliver. I'm so proud to be an Akwaibomite. We truly have witnessed an uncommon transformation. Longlive Godswill Akpabio and Akwaibom state.
ReplyDeleteI wish my state governor could put in even half the work Akpabio did. But no, he's so slow like a locomotive train. Akpabio has absolutely transformed Akwaibom state. When I visited Akwaibom, I felt like putting roots there. How do I become an Akwaibomite biko? Akpabio you're truly a blessing.
ReplyDeleteHaaay! Beautiful something. If we have more people like Governor Godswill Akpabio in Nigeria, we would experience the much desired change we anticipate. I keep saying, Akpabio came, saw and conquered. I won't even tolerate any slander of Akpabio by anyone, I'm such a huge fan.
ReplyDeleteAkpabio has done so well in Akwaibom state. The uncommon transformation is real. Akpabio is a man who has the interest of his people at heart. He's performed exceptionally. He's the best governor as far as am concerned.
ReplyDeleteGov Akpabio is the man jorrr!!, he has done fab for Akwa-Ibom. if any Governor in this country deserves due recognition, then i would def say its him, and it is well deserved. only a witch or Wizard would disagree.
