President Bola Tinubu on Friday arrived in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, on a working visit to commission projects completed by Governor Umo Eno’s administration and participate in a political rally.
The President left Abuja earlier in the day for a two-state trip to Akwa Ibom and Rivers states. The visit marks his first major engagement in the South-South region since the All Progressives Congress began its mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Tinubu was welcomed at the Victor Attah International Airport by Governor Eno, senior government officials, APC leaders and a large gathering of supporters.
During the visit, the President is expected to inaugurate several projects delivered by the Eno administration. They include the newly constructed international terminal building, the International Airport Hospital and the Ibom Aviation Village, all situated within the Victor Attah International Airport.
He is also expected to inaugurate the Airport-Okopedi Road, which connects communities in Nsit Atai and Okobo Local Government Areas, as well as Ring Road 3, linking Idoro Road to Ikot Ekpene Road through Uyo and Ibiono Ibom.
Other projects listed for inauguration include the AKWA-GIS Office Complex, the Command and Control Centre and the ARISE Palm Resort.
After the inaugurations, the President is expected to proceed to the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium for a political rally organised by the APC.
