Akwa Ibom Professionals Pass Confidence Vote On Gov Eno

Professionals and businessmen from Akwa-Ibom State yesterday said Governor Umo Eno’s developmental strides in the state are in tune with the peoples’ needs.

They stated this while reacting to his  achievements and  development direction in his first 100 days in office.

The professionals, under the aegis of Professionals For Development in Akwa Ibom, commended the governor for hitting the ground running in a practical, impactful development-driven administration, in line with his ARISE Agenda.

National coordinator of the group, Engr. Ufot Akan Umoren, in an interaction with newsmen in Abuja said the people of Akwa Ibom State are  proud of Eno’s vision, transparency and  management of resources in consolidating and expanding on the legacies of his predecessor, Udom Emmanuel.

He described Eno’s achievements in his first 100 days in office as “not only outstanding but also impactful along the lines of the five critical focal points of Agricultural Revolution, Rural Development, Infrastructural Maintenance, Security Management and Education Advancement” among other focal sectors.

Umoren hailed Eno’s implementation of his ARISE Blueprint which, according to him, has “enabled the current administration an exceptional leap in consolidating on the achievements of former Governor Emmanuel in the improvement on the lives of the people.

“As professionals, we commend Governor Eno on his exceptional achievements, which have touched all critical sectors of the economy and social life in Akwa Ibom State in his first 100 days in office.

“Of special note is the creation of the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) a special agency to drive rural development, improve the quality of life of our rural dwellers, stimulate economic activities and stem rural-to urban migration.

“We also commend Governor Eno for his massive agricultural and food security projects in the 31 Local Government Areas of the State; we commend him for the very bold road projects in the three senatorial districts as well as the strengthening of the free education scheme as well as improving the welfare of teachers in the State.

“The manner with which Governor Eno hit the ground running with his ARISE Blueprint leaves no one in doubt regarding his commitment, capacity, and willpower to deliver on his mandate” he said.

Umoren also commended the governor for the Ibom Leadership and Entrepreneurial Development Centre (ILED) initiative, aimed at equipping the citizens, especially the youths with entrepreneurial and leadership skills to enable them compete with their peers across the world.

The professionals said Eno’s performance and achievements in his first 100 days in office are a testimony that former Governor Udom Emmanuel made the right choice in adopting  him, who was commissioner for Lands and Water Resources, as successor.

“Governor Eno’s commitment to duty is in affirmation of the confidence reposed in him by the people of Akwa Ibom State as the best hand to sustain the achievements and legacies of Governor Udom Emmanuel and we pray to God to continue to guide him” Umoren said.
