The three projects include a technical skills center in Ikot Akata, a trauma center at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital and an engineering complex at the University of Uyo.
“These investments will provide long-term health, education and economic benefits to many in our communities,” said Paul McGrath, chairman and managing director of Mobil Producing Nigeria.
“We continue to work closely with the government of the Akwa Ibom State as part of our commitment to communities where we operate and helping to improve quality of life,” he added.
The trauma center, which is to be housed in a two-floor medical complex, will help reduce mortality rates in major medical emergencies. The center will include a resuscitation and burns room; a theater suite; a helipad; ambulance bay and triage area; high dependency and radiology units; mini labs; wards; pharmacy; administrative offices; library; and doctor, call and seminar rooms.
The engineering complex, which will be equipped with generators and independent water supply, will feature two floors of workshops, laboratories, a lecture theater, conference rooms and faculty offices. It is expected to serve about 2,000 students, mostly from Akwa Ibom State.
