Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has called on citizens to seize the overflowing goodwill of the Christmas season to embark on peacebuilding through reconciliation as this will further unite the State.
The Governor anchored his Christmas message on the scripture – Luke 2:10 which reads “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people”.
He expressed hope that the celebration of Christmas will not only bring mortal enemies as friends, but “will also cause some of our people who are still in the trenches of tribalism, ethnicism, petty-mindedness, and other vices, to emerge from the foxholes and join us to build a State which would be defined by faith, love and brotherhood”.

The move to finally take Akwa Ibom State away from being a core civil service state to an industrial super hub within the Gulf of Guinea last week got the nod of the federal government with the approval for the take off of the Ibom Deep Sea Port, a news that threw residents of the state into an ecstasy of delight.
The Ibom Deep Sea Port, a Public Private Partnership Initiative under a 60% private and 40% public sector arrangement will no doubt change not just the face of the state’s industrialization philosophy but also has the possibility of having a multiplier effect whose impact will surely boomerang to almost all sectors of the state’s economy.
