The Commissioner in his response gave thanks to God almighty the giver of everything and Governor Udom Emmanuel who has done creditably well, "You have seen industries spring up in the last four years and still counting, this is to proof to Akwa Ibom people that Governor Udom Emmanuel wants us all to earn a living instead of begging for living, Ibom deep seaport you have just mentioned is very dear to the Governor that is why you hear him talk about it always, apart from that, he has made sure funds are made available for the realization of the project for the benefit of not just Akwa Ibomites and Nigeria but Africa as a whole while turning our state into the economic hub in sub Sahara Africa.

The project is waiting for the necessary approvals from the federal government and I'm sure upon swearing in of ministers, it will kick-start.

Being recognized as a patron by a Nobel organization of this magnitude, It means I have to do more,if I have been noticed and rewarded with the little I have been able to do, it means I should do more.

Let's keep this interactive  spirit at all times,it helps public office holders to sort problems.
