The special assistant to the governor on General Duties, Anne Abraham, emphasised that the health of the people remains a top priority, hence the provision of free medical interventions.

Also, the chairman of Etim Ekpo LGA, Mr Gideon Uwah, commended the Umo Eno-led administration for prioritising fundamental needs and identifying vulnerable groups as beneficiaries.

Mr Uwah noted that the health outreach was happening at the right time to address the pressing health challenges of locals who lack access to affordable healthcare, pledging to collaborate with GIFA on its programmes and similar projects aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of citizens.

In their separate goodwill messages, wife of the chairman of Ika local government council, Mrs Idongesit Utibe Nwoko; former transition chairman of Etim Ekpo local government council, Hon. Ekpuk Eshiet, and wife of the paramount ruler of Etim Ekpo local government, Her Royal Majesty Gloria Amanam Udo, commended the first lady designate for bringing the GIFA Wheels of Hope to Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District.
