Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno has declared Friday, November 6, 2026, a work-free day across the state. The announcement is intended to give residents and public servants the opportunity to turn out en masse to welcome President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his official working visit to the region.
During his stay in the state, President Tinubu is scheduled to inaugurate a series of key infrastructural developments completed by the state administration. Among the high-profile projects slated for commissioning are the International Terminal Building located at the Victor Attah International Airport, the newly established Aviation Village, and the Airport Hospital.
Additional projects prepared for the presidential rollout include the ARISE Palm Resort, the 14.5-kilometre Nsit Atai-Okobo Road also known as the Airport-Okopedi Road, Ring Road 3, and a modern Command and Control Centre. State officials have expressed enthusiasm for the visit, highlighting these developments as central to the administration's ongoing efforts to boost economic growth and modernize local infrastructure.
The declaration of the work-free day is expected to facilitate smooth logistics and accommodate large crowds along designated routes as the state prepares to host the federal delegation. Security and protocol arrangements are being finalized across Uyo to ensure a successful presidential engagement throughout the itinerary.
