Starting from Itu/ IbionoIbom Federal Constituency, when I became a member of the House of Representatives, not up to 5 villages had electricity, but when I left about 85 percent of communities had electricity.
I was attracted to water, road, health and other projects to the constituency and AkwaIbom State. “I sponsored the bill that made the University of Uyo become a legal entity. I brought Federal Polytechnic to AkwaIbom State.
I brought the Federal University of Technology that is to be sited in IkotAbasi. I am working hard to bring the College of Forestry to AkwaIbom State before the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari ends in 2023. I have to say that I am the progenitor of federal government higher institutions in AkwaIbom State,” he narrated.
