Umo Eno Declares Work-Free Day for Tinubu's Visit
On November 6, 2026, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom declared a work-free day to facilitate the reception of President Bola Tinubu, who will be making his first visit to the state since assuming the presidency. This visit, although not part of the 12 battleground states for the upcoming 2027 general elections, is intended to rally support for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
During his visit, President Tinubu is expected to commission various projects initiated by Eno's administration since 2023, including the International Terminal Building at the Victor Attah International Airport, an Aviation village, an Airport Hospital, ARISE Palm Resort, and the 14.5-kilometre Nsit Atai–Okobo Road. The Uyo Local Government Council has also announced the temporary closure of Ikot Ekpe Market to accommodate the presidential convoy, with plans to reopen the market on November 7.
The President will be accompanied by his wife, Oluremi, and other high-ranking officials.
