Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria’s 21st State, which goes by the sobriquet “Land of Promise” is a product of the dream of our forebears. The dream translated to a prolonged and sustained struggle by the “Mainland” people of former Cross River State for a distinct political entity. The struggle dates back to 1928 following the formation and inauguration of the Ibibio Union, a foremost Socio-Cultural organi

zation that served as a rallying point and unifying platform for the people of the “Mainland” part of the state.

This project is a clear indication that our Governor is very intentional about youth development in the State.

What you may see here is a Youth Development Centre, but what I see is an opportunity the Governor has created for young people to be equipped with diverse, lucrative crafts and skills.

The Governor is very committed to youth development, which is why he has invested in equipping and training young people through the Dakadda Skills Acquisition Centre (DASAC) and Ibom-LED.

While preparing the State for the youths, the Governor is also preparing the youths for the future.
