AKWA IBOM STATE IS ONE OF AFRICA’S TOP CLEANEST STATES

Akwa Ibom State has been named as one of Africa’s cleanest subnationals.

In a listing by the highly influential online site that tracks environmental and tourism issues ‘Inside Africa’, tagged “Top African Cleanest Cities, 2022” Akwa Ibom State, (Uyo) was the only state in Nigeria named in the report, thus cementing the state’s already well known definition as “Nigeria’s Cleanest State, as well as the Nation’s Best Kept Secret.”

The report also listed Kigali, the Rwandan Capital as a top African Cleanest City alongside, Cape Town, South Africa, Tunis, Tunisia, Port Luis, Mauritius, Johannesburg, South Africa, Nairobi, Kenya, Kumasi, Ghana, Gaborone, Botswana. Dares Salaam, Tanzania, and Windhoek, Namibia.

The listing of Akwa Ibom State in the report is a manifestation of the great developmental strides, especially in tourism and infrastructure, and the huge resources expended by the Governor Udom Emmanuel led- administration in preserving the environment and making the state livable and free of environmental hazards.

The efforts of the government in this regard, saw the earlier conferment of the award by Clean Up Nigeria, last year on the state as Nigeria’s cleanest State, an award that was received by Prince Akpan Ikim, the Chairman of Akwa Ibom State Environmental Protection and Waste Management Agency (AKSEPWMA) which, was later subsequently presented to the Governor Emmanuel on December 20th, last year, during an enlarged State Executive Council Meeting, by the Sir, Charles Udoh, the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Solid Minerals.

The State has consistently won for five years in a row, the award as the nation’s cleanest state.

Akwa Ibom State, is arguably the Nation’s most preferred choice for conferences, retreats, seminars and other major events and only recently, a multibillion dollars drainage project measuring more than 10 kilometers was constructed in the State capital as part of Governor Emmanuel’s policy to keep the State safe for investments to thrive.

With Ibom Air, the award winning airline, and the first of such an airline owned by a subnational in Africa, dominating the Nigerian aviation industry, coupled with a peaceful, safe and secure environment, a rich range of cuisines and a great and hospitable people, Akwa Ibom State continues to symbolize what the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, (GCON) said recently at the flag-off of the Presidential Campaign as everything that Nigeria should be.

Since my governor has tried industrialisation and it's not working out, I think we should try tourism and ICT next.

That useless worship centre might just be one of the best tourism hotspots. Since the country is too religious, any religious activities should hold there with huge rental fees.

Benefits: since it's one of the finest and most secured part of Uyo, the conveners and visitors will enjoy the best of beauty and security.

More high-rise should spring up along Udo Udoma.
Our beach front esp Ibeono should be given a retouch.
We should have a park that will upgraded version of Port Harcourt pleasure Park. I visited PPK and was wowed.

A monorail track should be established. Even if its not necessary now, it will save the state of demolishing structures along its path in the next 50 years.

Another outdoor field should be created along that ring road by Nwaniba. That route will be the most developed route in Aks. The field can just be coconut farm interplanted with flowers.

Akwa Ibom is putting Nigeria on the world map.

The state has consistently won for five years in a row, the award as the nation’s cleanest state.

Akwa Ibom remains Nigeria’s most preferred choice for conferences, retreats, seminars and other major events.

If the government does not build industry and infrastructure you will still complain now you call the worship center useless. When it’s become a tourist destination will not remember your words. Alway appreciate what your has.
