Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria’s 21st State, which goes by the sobriquet “Land of Promise” is a product of the dream of our forebears. The dream translated to a prolonged and sustained struggle by the “Mainland” people of former Cross River State for a distinct political entity. The struggle dates back to 1928 following the formation and inauguration of the Ibibio Union, a foremost Socio-Cultural organization that served as a rallying point and unifying platform for the people of the “Mainland” part of the state.

Update on Government Programmes and Interventions in the Ministry of Housing by Dr. Henry Archibong, Honourable Commissioner for Housing, Akwa Ibom State.

“On housing, the promise was not simply to build houses, but to address the housing needs of the people of Akwa Ibom across various categories. So far, more than 1,050 housing units have been delivered, including social housing, which constitutes over 75 percent of the total housing stock. This demonstrates that the housing interventions of the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State are targeted primarily at the downtrodden and those who genuinely need such support.

From our assessment, within three years, over 95 percent of the ARISE Agenda has been achieved. Following the 30 days of extensive project commissioning, I believe we have even surpassed the 95 percent mark.”

- Hon. Aniekan Umanah, Honourable Commissioner for Information, Akwa Ibom State

“Your Excellency, you are a leader who is leading progressively through continuity to ensure that there is a transformation in the educational system of Akwa Ibom State.

You have already made a long stride towards the freedom of teachers, the teaching profession, and the educational system.

At the primary level, even your full name, when abbreviated, speaks to it: Umo Bassey Eno stands for Universal Basic Education. We have seen this reflected in our primary schools, which are being modelled after the vision of a model Governor and his model administration.”

-Prof. Ubong Umoh, Commissioner for Education, speaking at the 2026 World Teachers’ Day Celebration at Uyo Township Stadium.

“Your Excellency, there is a programme being shared at this event highlighting what you have done for teachers. I looked through it and noticed that the gratuities for post-secondary and primary school teachers were not mentioned.

Very worthy of mention is the fact that teachers in Akwa Ibom State were owed ₦2.4 billion in 7.5% contributory pension refunds, and you came in and paid the entire amount in full.

Therefore, Your Excellency, I have come today, on behalf of teachers, to celebrate and appreciate you.”

-Comrade Sunny James, NLC Chairman, Akwa Ibom State, speaking at the 2026 World Teachers’ Day Celebration.
