PHOTOS: Akwa Ibom governor goes through security checks to board aircraft

Umo Eno, governor of Akwa Ibom, was on Tuesday spotted playing down protocols at the Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo, the state’s capital, to board an aircraft.

The governor who was heading out of the state for an official engagement joined passengers to pass through security checks at the airport before boarding Ibom Air, the state’s airline.

In Nigeria, it is not common to see government officials going through security checks at local airports as they’re usually ushered into the aircraft through very important personnel (VIP) routes.

Sharing his experience on his official X handle (formerly Twitter), Eno commended the airline for their excellence and commitment to customer satisfaction.

“Today, I had the pleasure of using Ibom Air for my official engagement outside Akwa Ibom state, and I must say that the experience exceeded my expectations as usual. The seamless check-in process, comfortable seating, and friendly cabin crew created an environment that made my journey very enjoyable,” he tweeted.

With its fleet of modern aircraft and a commitment to passenger satisfaction, Ibom Air has set the bar high for excellence… pic.twitter.com/DGae6gk27b
