Known for taking its name from the Qua Iboe River which bisects the state before flowing into the Bight of Bonny, Akwa Ibom is a state in the South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria that was created out of Cross River State on September 23, 1987, by the then Military Administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida<\/a>.<\/p>\n After about four decades of sustained agitation by the people that occupied the mainland part of the former Cross River State, through the Ibibio Union, the demand for the creation of the state came through when Babangida set up a political Bureau to define the future political direction of the country.
