Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has called for patience from the citizens regarding the ongoing developments in the Ibom Deep Seaport and necessary reforms in the power sector. He acknowledged that both projects are substantial undertakings that require significant effort and commitment. Eno made these remarks after returning from a state visit to the United Kingdom, where he accompanied President Tinubu.

During his visit, Eno engaged with potential investors primarily focused on the power sector, expressing optimism about the outcomes of these discussions. He believes that collaborative efforts with investors will lead to significant improvements in the state’s infrastructure and power distribution capabilities. Eno reassured the people of Akwa Ibom that progress has been made, but cautioned that substantial changes take time and effort to materialize fully.

Emphasizing the need for patience, Eno informed the public that while giant strides have been made in reforming the power sector, the processes involved are intricate and cannot be expedited. His calls for understanding come amidst growing expectations from the Akwa Ibom populace for immediate results from the government’s initiatives, underlining the challenges in balancing public demand with the realities of large-scale project implementation.
