The Consul General of the United States to Nigeria, Will Stevens, says Africa will define the future of the world.
Stevens said United State is committed to the economic growth and prosperity of Nigeria and her sub-nationals.
He reiterated the call for robust partnership earlier made by the U. S. Secretary of State, Tony Blinken during his visit to Nigeria last week.
The Consul General stated this when he paid a courtesy call on the state Governor, Pastor Umo Eno Friday at the State EXCO Chamber, Government House, Uyo.
He lauded Akwa Ibom Governor on the developmental strides currently ongoing in the state.
Stevens congratulated the Governor for emerging victorious at the March 18, 2023 governorship polls which he stated was free, fair and credible.
The Consul General described Akwa Ibom people as inherently happy, and commended the Governor for his vision in education as well as other developmental strides he has recorded since inauguration eight months ago.

Eno spoke of his government’s readiness to further collaborate with American investors in the areas of oil and gas, blue economy, Agriculture and tourism.
Earlier, the Governor had conducted the Consul General to an inspection of the Model Primary School at the Christ the King School, Uyo, due for commissioning at the end of this month.
