Rt. Hon. Alice Ekpenyong
As we chart the course for cooperative-driven development across Akwa Ibom State, our focus remains clear: to build strong, resilient, and inclusive communities through structured cooperative societies. Under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, we are committed to transforming rural economies, empowering local entrepreneurs, and creating real opportunities for growth across all 31 LGAs.
We believe every fisherman, farmer, market woman, and youth deserves the tools, training, and infrastructure needed to thrive. Through initiatives like the AK-COOPTS 2025ā2030 strategy, digital registration portals, and the Cooperative College, we are laying the foundation for a new cooperative eraātransparent, technology-enabled, and people-centered.
Letās build together. Letās grow together. Letās rise together.
