Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom state has inaugurated 84 units of two-bedroom flat housing for the Nigerian Army inside its barracks in Ibagwa.

He lauded the army for collaborating with other security agencies to combat crime and making the state safe for investors and investments.

The governor said his administration undertook the intervention because of the decrepit state of infrastructure he saw in the barracks when he visited in 2018.

Speaking at the event, the Commander 2 Brigade Nigerian Army Uyo, Brig.Gen. T.A Lagbaja commended the Akwa Ibom state government for the intervention, noting that the state has shown good example in it social responsibility programmes.

In the same vein, Governor Emmanuel inaugurated 5.1 km internal roads at the Obio Akpa campus of the Akwa Ibom State University.

Addressing students at the project inauguration, Emmanuel charged them to work hard to achieve academic excellence.

Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Eno Ibanga applauded the governor for providing landmark infrastructure in the University.
