Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has called on the people of the state to exercise patience on the Ibom Deep Seaport and power sector reforms.
He said the two sectors require a lot of work and not just a walk in the park, adding that a lot had already been achieved.
Eno stated this on Friday while fielding questions from Government House correspondents on his return from the United Kingdom, where he accompanied President Tinubu on a state visit.
In a statement obtained from the Government House press unit on Saturday, the governor said the trip afforded him the opportunity to meet with investors, especially in the power sector, and assured Akwa Ibom people of a positive outcome from the interaction.
“We expect something good from the interaction. It takes a lot of work, whether it is Ibom Deep Seaport or Power, it takes a lot of work. I’m urging our people to be patient.
“We have made giant strides in reforming the power sector, but it takes a while, it is not a walk in the park, it is precept upon precept.”
He noted that his administration has taken strategic steps towards transforming the power sector, while also working hard to realise its vision on the Ibom Deep Seaport.
“We have made our point very clear. We are engaging investors on the Ibom Deep Seaport. We just finished paying for the feasibility studies of that Seaport. It takes processes to get things done.
“I appreciate the enthusiasm, and I want the Seaport like yesterday. I want power like yesterday. But we would like to go through these processes and I am sure we are doing it, and I know that by the grace of God, we will get there.
“We are moving inch by inch on where we ought to be on the Ibom Deep Seaport and the power sector. Things don’t happen overnight, but we have good engagements, and people are showing interest,” the governor concluded.
