Etim Ekpimah, UyoThe Akwa Ibom State government has said it has sold over two million high-quality pencils since the state began pencils production last year. It said the pencils apart from supplying them to Nigerian markets, the products also found markets in the neighbouring West and East African countries. Special Adviser to the Akwa Ibom State Governor on Technical Matters and Due Process, Mr. Ufot Ebong, said in Uyo on Sunday that the high-quality pencils and toothpicks circulating in Nigeria’s markets are produced through the Akwa Ibom Enterprises and Scheme. Your wards and indeed Nigerians may be using AKEES pencils without knowing. All our products will be inscribed AKEES plastics because Akwa Ibom are so passionate about what they produce.
