Ibom Hall is a government-owned event center, it is a place of pride in my state and a popular landmark in the town. This facility was built during the military regime of governor Abbe. Its shape is like what we called "ikpoto" a native straw hat commonly used by fishermen and farmers in my state as a shield from the sun. Architect Ette of Ibeno designed these state of art facilities.
This hall serves as a prime venue for business, political, social, religious, and cultural events in my state. Ibom Hall is situated in a very safe location.

You have done a great job organizing this post with ten pictures, every photograph is amazing. I think, it is not possible to show our city completely through 10 pictures! In everyone's eyes his own city is the most beautiful. I like the flower and tree garden photography, thank you very much for sharing with us.
