Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan has lauded Akwa Ibom State as a safe haven for investment.
Dr. Jonathan made this known when he led a team of investors, Preheat Project, on a Business Visit to the State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno at Government House, Uyo.
The Former President noted that the state is very promising because of the environment and most especially the commitment of successive governors to good governance.
The State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno appreciated the Former President for his love and interest in Akwa Ibom State and for spearheading the team to invest and described the Former President as a man of peace.
Pastor Eno assured that the government will provide the necessary support to enable a smooth takeoff of the preheat project.
The Vice President of the Preheat Project, Mr Azibaola Robert said the Niger Delta Region has a good deposit of gas which has not been adequately explored for the benefit of the people, and assured that the investment when it takes off will create jobs and other opportunities for Akwa Ibom people and beyond.
