Akwa
Ibom is a rich tourism destination offering unrivalled wealth
of scenic landscape, long sandy coast, a wealth of wildlife
and culture. Plus a warm and friendly people, known for
their exceptional culinary skills. Solidly wedged in Nigeria's
south eastern flank, the state is deeply religious and this
shows not only in its name which translates into The Great
God of Heaven, but also in the rich relics of its traditional
religion which have been preserved across the state. The
local dances, songs, folkore, mythology, cult and traditional
festivals provide engaging opportunities for those who seek
naked excitement and unspoilt pleasure.
Across
the state, especially as you move from the coastal south
to the elevated north, you will find an attractive variety
of natural landscapes, offering breath-taking views. They
range from the moody mangrove swamp and picturesque vegetation
island, to flat land of secondary vegetation and pockets
of thick tropical forests, palm groves and vegetable land
to rugged valleys on the slopes of gentle rolling hills.
