Tinubu is also expected to commission the Airport-Okopedi Road, which connects communities in Nsit Atai and Okobo Local Government Areas, as well as Ring Road 3, linking Idoro Road to Ikot Ekpene Road through Uyo and Ibiono Ibom.
Other projects on the inauguration list include the AKWA-GIS Office Complex, the Command and Control Centre and the ARISE Palm Resort.
Governor Umo Eno has declared Friday a work-free day to enable residents to participate in activities marking the President’s visit.
Following his engagements in Akwa Ibom, Tinubu will travel to Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, November 7, where he is scheduled to attend an APC political rally.
The Rivers rally will be another opportunity for the President to engage with party leaders, stakeholders and supporters as the APC intensifies its political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The two-state visit combines official project inaugurations with political engagements in support of the ruling party’s activities.
