Akwa Ibom Governor, Pastor Umo Eno said the state government is about to start building an “18-floor Ibom Towers” in Lagos State.
Governor Eno disclosed this on Monday in Uyo, while performing the foundation laying ceremony for Ewet Luxury Gardens – an estate sited at the former Ewet timber market in the state capital.
Speaking at the ceremony, the governor said the contractor for the luxury estate in Uyo is also “playing a major role” in the planned 18-floor towers.
“We thank all of you for coming. We want the contractor to show us the strength. The test of the pudding, they say, is in the eating,” the governor said, charging the contractor to use the luxury estate in Uyo to convince him that it can handle the 18-floor Ibom Towers in Lagos.
“We are about to start an 18-floor tower called Ibom Towers in Lagos, and this contractor is playing a major role. So, I want to see your speed and quality. I cannot give you an 18th-floor storey building to do when you cannot do this something.
“So please, show us your strength here and let us know,” the governor said.
