The Federal Government has declared Ikot Abasi LGA as the area of the recently endorsed Federal University of Technology.
This was spread the word about by the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President of Niger Delta Affairs, Distinguished Senator Ita Solomon Manang.
Even though the calendar Media can't autonomously affirm this declaration, we depend on a short message flowed on different WhatsApp bunches by his Media Aide.
It would be reviewed that on June 22, 2021, the Presidential Aide delivered an authority proclamation inscribed
“IMMEASURABLE THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND APC FEDERAL GOVERNMENT” reporting the endorsement for the foundation of the new Federal University of Technology in Akwa Ibom State and expressed gratitude toward the Hon. Priests of Education, Mallam Adamu for his huge heart and reasonableness in the handling of the make a difference to incorporate Akwa Ibom State and the South-South. He likewise said thanks to the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education, Arc Echonu, and Staffer of the Ministry. As per Senator Ita Enang,
“the APC-led Federal Government has demonstrated that after the election, Governance is delivered to persons of all persuasions as citizens and constituents of the Federal Republic.”
Akwa Ibom individuals from across partisan principals commended the endorsement. There was for the most part a warm discussion among online media clients inside Akwa Ibom State concerning where the area of the college will be.
There was likewise conflict with regards to which Akwa Ibom pioneer worked with the endorsement of the University for Akwa Ibom State. This was not awkward, as Federal ventures of such size generally included exceptionally level campaigning.
An IT professional, Mr. Destiny Young, who is an indigene of the state is cited to have affirmed who worked with the endorsement for Akwa Ibom State. In a post he made on his own Facebook timetable, he said,
“The approval of the Federal University of Technology for Akwa Ibom State is the SOLE effort of Distinguished Senator Dr. Ita Solomon Manang”.
“Following my investigation, It has become necessary to put the record straight. It is worthy to note that, of the Federal universities of technology approved, the one in Jigawa is a converted Federal Polytechnic but that of Akwa Ibom State is a fresh university that will be exclusively built”.
“The result of what we hear today started in 2017 when Federal Colleges of Education were approved. This was when Senator Ita Enang demanded a Federal University of Technology instead”.
“Today, we have the Federal University of Technology through the spirited effort of Senator Ita Enang. I am proud of you the distinguished”.
Among the 2 Federal Universities endorsed by Mr. President around then, that of Jigawa is a change over Federal Institution, though the Federal University of Technology for Akwa Ibom State is undeniable.
The citing of the University of Technology in Ikot Abasi LGA could be ascribed to the normal modern exercises that will be related to the Liberty Oil and Gas Industrial Free Zone in Ikot Abasi LGA. Mr. President through the instrumentally of the Managing Director of Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority (OGFZA) supported an oil and gas mechanical free zone for Akwa Ibom State and is situated at Ikot Abasi Local Government Area.
As indicated by Mr. Umana, the MD/CEO of OGFZA, the Liberty Free Zone starting at the last tally has more than 12 companies authorized by OGFZA to work in the Zone.
The free zone will produce more than 10,000 direct jobs and more than 15,000 indirect jobs.
Being a modern Zone, there is the requirement for a befitting instructional hub to furnish Akwa Ibom individuals with the significant information required in the area. This presumably advises the choice by the Federal Government to refer to the University of Technology in Ikot Abasi LGA.
It is what it is...
