Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has received the first batch of 20 state-owned buses out of the 50 ordered by his administration, reaffirming his commitment to building a modern, efficient and affordable public transportation system in the state.
Receiving the buses at the Government House, Uyo, the governor described the delivery as another major milestone in his administration’s efforts to transform the state’s transport sector.
As the Victor Attah International Airport commenced international operations with its maiden flight from Uyo to Ghana, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN), has described the airport as a uniquely remarkable transit hub and a pace-setter in Nigeria’s aviation sector.
The minister made the remarks on Friday, 2 May 2026, during a brief ceremony held at the airport to celebrate the launch of its first international flight.
