Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, has urged
ECOWAS to foster greater economic cooperation among member states.
The governor made the appeal while receiving a
delegation of the ECOWAS Commission led by its President, Kadre’ De’sire’
Oue’draogo.
Others in the delegation included ECOWAS Commission
Deputy President, Toga McIntosh, the Speaker of ECOWAS Parliament, Sen. Ike
Ekweremandu and the President, Community Court of Justice, Justice Awa Daboya
Nana. The delegation was in Uyo for a three-day retreat.
The governor commended ECOWAS leadership for bringing
the retreat to Uyo which, according to him, has undergone transformation in the
last six years of his administration.
Akpabio informed ECOWAS delegation that the state
government was constructing Tropicana Entertainment Centre with an
international conference centre with the hope of hosting ECOWAS conferences in
future.
He said that Akwa Ibom had approached a Ghanaian
company to train youths in the state on computer education and vocational
skills so as to prepare the youths for a better future.
