Governor Eno expressed concern over the prevailing socio-economic challenges in the country, noting that the youths constitute a large fraction of the active population bearing the brunt the more.

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

Addressing Journalists on the outcome of the SEC meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, explained that a number resolutions were reached based on different memoranda presented by the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs).

“In a move 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 the well-being of Corps members. The grant is subject to periodic review based on prevailing circumstances,” Umanah, explained.

He highlighted other key decisions considered at the meeting to include a memo from the Finance and General Purpose Committee (FGPC) and approval for the construction of 2.15km dual carriage rigid pavement and rehabilitation of a 0.8km dual carriage flexible pavement at Itam Industrial Park in 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’s plans to reinvigorate the hospitality and tourism sector for more Internally Generated Revenues (IGRs).

“Following the presentation of the state’s investment portfolio, 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.

The Commissioner added that SEC also considered improved security and preservation aesthetics of the highbrow Ewet Housing Estate for the comfort of dwellers.

“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.”

Similarly, the Council received a 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.

In addition, the state executive council 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 timely commencement of the project.
