He was elected Chairman of the Forum of the 36 Governors of Nigeria in 2003.[2] In 2001, Victor Attah travelled to the United States with as many as 21 people in search of foreign investors. This visit and others produced tangible results.[3] He promised to improve telecoms, electrical power supply, and air transport infrastructure, and to replicate Silicon Valley in Uyo.[4] He planned to build an airport in Uyo before he left office in 2007.[5] He laid the foundation for the establishment of the Akwa Ibom State University of Technology.[6] Obong Attah ran for the 2007 presidential nomination of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2007, but later withdrew.[7] Later careerIn November 2007, Victor Attah challenged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest him if the commission had anything against him.[8] In September 2009 the Nigerian Justice Minister and Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa, said he would not release any Nigerians in response to a warrant of arrest issued by the London Metropolitan Police over alleged money laundering and corrupt offences emanating from the $38 million Virgin Mobile shares acquisition. Former state governors James Ibori of Delta State, Ahmed Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and Victor Attah had been accused of money laundering in the transaction.[9] Aondoakaa said he had no conflict with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).[10] However, EFCC chairman Farida Waziri denied that the EFCC had exonerated any of the suspects and insisted that the investigation was ongoing. The EFCC was said to be ready to co-operate with the MET police.[11] In March 2008, Victor Attah joined ExecutiveAction, a consultancy that helps firms manage problems in difficult business environments.[12] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.africansuccess.org/visuFiche.php?id=506&lang=en |title=Obong Victor Attah |publisher=AfricanSuccess |accessdate=5 December 2009}} {{AkwaIbomStateGovernors}}{{Nigerian state governors 1999-2003 term}}{{Nigerian state governors 2003-2007 term}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Attah, Victor}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://allafrica.com/stories/200408070044.html |title=Governor Obong Victor Attah: Akwa Ibom and Nigeria at Heart |date=7 August 2004 |publisher=Government of Akwa Ibom State |accessdate=5 December 2009}} 3. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/opinion/2008/oct/29/opinion-29-10-2008-002.htm |title = The North & oil: Nyako’s useful intervention |author = Ejiro Imireh |date = 29 October 2008 |publisher = Daily Sun |accessdate = 5 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100616074829/http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/opinion/2008/oct/29/opinion-29-10-2008-002.htm |archive-date = 16 June 2010 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 4. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.compassnews.net/Ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34251:obong-victor-attah-a-visionary-statesman-at-71&catid=46:sunday-compass&Itemid=698 |title = Obong Victor Attah – A visionary statesman at 71 |date = 22 November 2009 |publisher = Nigerian Compass |accessdate = 5 December 2009}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 5. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/columnists/brokentongues/amaze-feb16.htm |title = Aboard Slok Air's inaugural flight |author = Amaze Obi |date = 16 February 2004 |publisher = Daily Sun |accessdate = 5 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060409194505/http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/columnists/brokentongues/amaze-feb16.htm |archive-date = 9 April 2006 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 6. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.weeklyinsightng.com/tribute.html |title = Obong Victor Attah, A Visionary Statesman at 71 |publisher = weekly Insight |author = Udeme Nana |accessdate = 5 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120301123523/http://www.weeklyinsightng.com/tribute.html |archive-date = 1 March 2012 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pioneerng.com/article.php?title=Aide_Denies_Former_Governor_Attah%E2%80%99s_Senate_Ambition&id=2218 |title=Aide Denies Former Governor Attah's Senate Ambition |author=Dominic Akpan |date=22 February 2009 |publisher=The Pioneer |accessdate=5 December 2009}} 8. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2007/nov/13/national-13-11-2007-001.htm |archive-url = https://archive.is/20080229190434/http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2007/nov/13/national-13-11-2007-001.htm |dead-url = yes |archive-date = 29 February 2008 |title = Arrest me if I'm corrupt – Attah tells EFCC |author = Philip NWOSU and Muyiwa OYINLOLA |date = 13 November 2007 |publisher = Daily Sun |accessdate = 5 December 2009}} 9. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2009/sept/11/national-11-09-2009-001.htm |title = Ribadu behind problems of Ibori, others … Says they would not be released for trial in UK |author = MURPHY GANAGANA |date = 11 September 2009 |publisher = Daily Sun |accessdate = 5 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091122070659/http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2009/sept/11/national-11-09-2009-001.htm |archive-date = 22 November 2009 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 10. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/newsonthehour/2009/sept/14/newsbreak-14-09-2009-001.htm |title = $38m V-Mobile shares: I won’t join issues with Farida |author = Godwin Tsa |date = 14 September 2009 |publisher = Daily Sun |accessdate = 5 December 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090922200034/http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/newsonthehour/2009/sept/14/newsbreak-14-09-2009-001.htm |archive-date = 22 September 2009 |dead-url = yes |df = dmy-all}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1662:london-police-to-efcc-produce-ibori-attah-25-witnesses-&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=67 |title=London Police to EFCC;
