The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, said his administration is using CCTV to monitor people and vehicles trying to come into the state.

Akwa Ibom, like other Nigerian states, has barred people and vehicles from entering the state in order to halt the spread of the novel coronavirus. Besides, there is also a ban on interstate transportation of passengers across the country.
