As much as the government would like to diversify, Fashola saw a challenge in paucity of funds, regretting that little or nothing was done during the various cycles of oil boom in the last four decades.

Udom Emmanuel: As Akwa Ibom Awaits Justice at the Supreme Court

When Governor Udom Emmanuel was declared winner of the April 11, 2015 governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Akwa Ibom State erupted in rapturous joy, the type that can only be compared with a football loving nation winning the FIFA Senior World Cup.
