President Bola Tinubu has recounted his professional experience in Akwa Ibom State during his days as an auditor with Mobil, describing his return to the state as a homecoming.

The President said his visit brought back memories of his time working in the state, particularly his involvement in the development of Eket, adding that he never imagined he would one day return as Nigeria’s President to commission an airport named after a former colleague.

Tinubu made the remarks on Friday during a one-day working visit to Akwa Ibom State, where he participated in the commissioning of the airport named after a former public servant who served the state.

Reflecting on his years with Mobil, the President recalled his contributions to the development of Eket and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to return to a place with which he shared significant professional memories.

“This is a homecoming for me. I was here in Akwa Ibom as a Mobil auditor. We built and developed Eket and did what we had to do.

“I never dreamed I would become President to commission an airport named after a colleague who has served this state very well.

“I must give compliments and recognise the fulfillment of this administration,” Tinubu said.
