Covid-19 is the reason 21-storey building is yet to be fully occupied – Ex-Gov. Udom Emmanuel

Immediate Past Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has revealed that the advent of Covid-19 is the reason why the 21-storey smart building in Uyo, otherwise known as ‘Dakkada Towers’ is yet to be fully occupied.

Mr. Emmanuel stated this penultimate Monday during the commissioning of the expanded 21.5km Oron Road (from Ring Road III to Victor Attah International Airport Gate).

He said that during the construction of the project, multi-nationals and other top companies had indicated interest in having their offices sited in the building, but Covid-19 came and altered the plans.

“Yesterday, you named the Dakkada Towers after me. The day we commissioned Dakkada Towers, the Vice President was there. I told Akwa Ibomites, I said at all times, you may not know, the leader is the man God gives the vision, that you may not understand what he is doing today. If not for Covid-19, that building would have been fully occupied.

“Because we had expression of interest as at when the construction was at the 7th floor. But Covid came for 2 and a half years, the entire scenario and ways of doing business changed all over the world. But the God that gave us a vision, God who sees the end from the beginning, a day will come that you will be smiling over all the things you’ve done”, he said.

Udom thanked his successor, Pastor Umo Eno for renaming the 21-storey building and the expanded Oron Road after him.

 Let me specially thank you for the finishing anointing that is upon you. Let me thank you for being a pastor that has not disappointed us at all. You are one governor that came into office with a collar and you have maintained what Malachy 1:6 says. It says ‘a son honoureth the father, if I be your father, where is my honour’. Today, you’ve proven to be that pastor. A man who hears the word, reads the word and also practices the word”, Udom said.
