Housing in Akwa Ibom State
To develop Akwa Ibom’s industrial potentials and at the same time attract
potential investors the government has put in place an industrialisation blueprint to
enable such investors examine and leverage inward looking, import-substitution,
and export-led industrialisation strategies being adopted by the state
government. The rapid industrial development of the state, therefore, involves investment
promotion, and public private partnership.
Government has vigorously enabled the environment for the development of
industrial estates and cottage industries whether by the state or with private
interests, such that each of our 31 local government areas will
have at least one industrial estate to employ the citizens and process available
raw materials into finished products.
As an empowerment strategy, government supports and sponsors its citizens to embark on commercial ventures. Support includes identification of market
opportunities, participation in domestic and international trade fairs,
provision of infrastructures, periodic material subsidies, and patronage of
local entreprises.
