Attah, investors revive Ibom Science Park plan, seek takeover as Eno backs out
Former Akwa Ibom Governor Victor Attah and a consortium of local and international investors have unveiled plans to revive the multi-billion-naira Ibom Science Park project, months after Governor Umo Eno declared that his administration would not continue with the state-owned initiative.
The company said it has initiated discussions with the Akwa Ibom State Government to take over and develop the Ibom Science Park following Governor Eno’s public position that the government was willing to relinquish the project to a capable private investor.
