Meanwhile, the government of Akwa Ibom state has reached an agreement with the London Borough of Southwark, and Akwa Ibom indigenes in the United Kingdom to have exchanges on both the educational and cultural levels.
These agreements were reached at separate meetings held by the governor with the Mayor of the Borough of Southwark, Michael Situ, and some indigenes of Akwa Ibom state residents in the United Kingdom.
