Transportation 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.
