His words: “I have followed closely the philosophy behind the formation and the activities of AKISCOM in Lagos over the years and I am glad that this organisation which is blessed with a galaxy of talented men and women in almost all fields of human endeavour has lived up to the ideals of unity and progress which it was conceived to promote at inception.” He expressed gratitude to the people and government of Lagos State for the existing cordial relationship between them, adding that “it is my hope that this cordial relationship would be nurtured and sustained for the benefit of all of us.” Attah urged all indigenes of Akwa Ibom State to remain peaceful, loyal and law-abiding while engaging in their businesses in the state. The event, which was chaired by Elder Edet Akpan, had the presence of Chairman of Agritec Limited, Obong Bassey Inuaeyen, Chairman, Amana Consortium, Chief (Dr.) Edet Amana, Dr. Bassey Ndioho, Dr. Ime Sampson Umana among other prominent sons and daughters of Akwa Ibom State.
