Akwa Ibom State Government has postponed the inaugural Ibom Boat Regatta and Fishing Festival, initially slated to kick off today, Friday, September 27, until further notice.
In a statement, the State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Sir Charles Udoh, announced that the postponement of the festival, which was part of the 2024 World Tourism Day celebrations, is due to the demise of the Akwa Ibom First Lady, Pastor (Mrs) Patience Umo Eno.
Sir Udoh expressed regret for any inconvenience the postponement may cause to stakeholders and the affected communities.
