Gov Godswill Akpabio Blows N2.3 Billion On Aircraft Charter Between 2009 And 2011.

With N2.3 billion, Mr. Akpabio could have built state-of-the-art health centres worth N50 million each and classroom blocks worth N15 million each in all the 31 local government areas of the state, based on National Public Healthcare Development Agency and MDG’s budget figures.

In what appears an act of profligacy, the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, is said to have spent over N2.3 billion on aircraft charter between 2009 and 2011.PREMIUM TIMES investigations showed that Mr. Akpabio signed a charter deal with Vista Jet, a Swiss Airline Holding Company in 2009. The state’s  Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umana, however said the jet was hired based on Governor Akpabio’s need.
