The Akwa Ibom Government has pledged its readiness to collaborate with a United States of America-based building system company in the construction of housing estates in the state.
Governor Godswill Akpabio made this known Saturday when a one-time Ambassador of the United States of America to Nigeria, Renee Sanders, presented a building proposal to him at Governor’s Office, Uyo.
Akpabio remarked: “This project is feasible.
“Already, my administration has a plan to build 10,000 units of houses in the state, out of which we have already completed 2,000 houses, with the finishing touches to it.
“And with your proposal, I believe your speed of delivery would assist us in delivering affordable houses to the people.”
The governor thanked Sanders for ensuring sustainable development in Nigeria during her tenure and urged her to serve as an ambassador of development to the state by bringing more investors to assist in the development of the state.
Speaking earlier, Sanders had said she was impressed by the transformation of the state, hinting that the visit to the state was to discuss the economic development plan in the world, in which Akwa Ibom State happens to be the first state that would benefit from the project.
Sanders, who expressed her passion in the economic development of the world, said she is working with an American building system company on economic building projects to provide affordable houses for Akwa Ibom State people.
