Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has expressed concern over the prevailing socio-economic challenges in the country, noting that the youths, constituting a significant fraction of the active population, were the ones bearing the brunt the most.

To cushion the effects, the governor has approved N20,000 monthly stipends for all serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members of state origin across the country.

This was one of the major decisions reached during the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting, which the governor presided over at the Exco Chamber of the Government House, Uyo, the state capital.

Addressing journalists on the outcome of the SEC meeting, the information commissioner, Rt. Hon. Aniekan Umanah, explained that a number of resolutions were reached based on different memoranda presented by the ministries and departments agencies (MDAs).

He said: “To enhance youth welfare, the council extended the N20,000 monthly allowance earlier approved for NYSC members serving in the state to all corps members of Akwa Ibom state origin serving across the nation.

“This decision aligns with the Renewed Hope – ARISE Youth Support Initiative (RHAYSI), and is intended to cushion living expenses and promote corps members’ well-being. The grant is subject to periodic review based on prevailing circumstances,” Umanah explained.

The government spokesman stated that other key decisions included considering a memo from the Finance and General Purpose Committee (FGPC) and ratifying the approval for the construction of the 2.15 Km dual carriage rigid pavement and the rehabilitation of a 0.8 Km dual carriage flexible pavement at Itam Industrial Park in the Itu local government area.

“The project is designed to provide strategic infrastructure to support the growth and development of the industrial estate, thereby contributing to the state’s economic advancement,” he explained.

Also, Umanah disclosed government plans to reinvigorate the hospitality and tourism sector to increase internal generated revenue (IGR).

“Following the presentation of the state’s investment portfolio, the council constituted a committee to engage with the management of key investments, including Rafia City Hotels (Four Points by Sheraton), with a view to strengthening mutually beneficial business relationships. The Committee was given 30 days to submit its report.

“The committee was further mandated to design and propose a sustainable and efficient management framework for the Ibom Hotels and Apartments brand across Nigeria, including the establishment of a functional and well-composed Board to oversee its operations,” Umanah stated.

He said the SEC also considered improving the security and preservation aesthetics of the highbrow Ewet Housing Estate for the big men’s comfort.

“Council directed all legitimate allottees of undeveloped plots and abandoned units to commence development within 90 days or risk revocation. The Ministry of Housing and the Akwa Ibom State Property and Investment Company (APICO) were mandated to ensure compliance.

“The council received a progress briefing on preparations for the forthcoming Akwa Ibom State Sports Festival and directed the Planning Committee to fast-track all arrangements to ensure a timely and successful hosting of the event, which is aimed at discovering and nurturing the sporting talents of youths.

“EXCO also reviewed updates on the International Hospital project and directed the ministries of Health and Justice to finalise all outstanding legal and administrative processes to ensure the timely commencement of the project,” the commissioner stressed.
