Today, I boarded a flight from Uyo to Accra with a full heart and a deep sense of gratitude to God.

This was no ordinary flight. It was Akwa Ibom’s first international service from the Victor Attah International Airport. A moment our heroes past dreamed of. A moment this administration was privileged to deliver.

The Honourable Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Barr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, said it plainly. What we have built at VAIA is not just a terminal. It is a transit hub. The only one of its kind at any sub-national level in Nigeria. Nothing like it exists anywhere else in this country.

This terminal and nine other projects within the airport were delivered with fiscal discipline and the grace of God. We built it clean. Akwa Ibom owes no bank a single kobo for this achievement.

We will not stop here. The MRO facility will be completed. The Cargo Terminal foundation will be laid. The Aviation Village will be commissioned. We are building an aviation ecosystem that Akwa Ibomites will be proud of for generations.

To His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, thank you for your support and for approving the international status of this airport. To the people of Akwa Ibom, this is for you.

This is the Finisher’s Anointing at work. This is what happens when people believe, when a government delivers and when God shows up.

Uyo to Accra today. Akwa Ibom to the world tomorrow.

Africa, we are ready for you.
