Gov Eno, Lawmaker Applaud Ibiono Ibom Monarch At 80

Akwa Ibom State governor, Pastor Umo Eno, and the member representing Ibiono Ibom state constituency in the House of Assembly, Hon Moses Essien, have applauded Okuku Ime Udousoro Inyang, the paramount ruler of Ibiono Ibom, as he turned 80, still strong on the throne and contributing to peace and unity of the state.

The governor, who was represented by the commissioner for Information, Comrade Iniobong Ememobong, commended Okuku Inyang, for his apolitical stance and for using his stool as a weapon to foster peace, unity and development of the state.

He assured that his administration would continue to reciprocate such gesture through people – oriented projects in his domain and other peaceful areas of the state.

In the same vein, the lawmaker representing Ibiono Ibom state constituency, Hon. Moses Essien, lauded the paramount ruler and expressed gratitude to the governor for considering the plights of his constituents especially the re-awarding of contract for the long neglected Use -Ikot -Amama road project.

He noted that the people have endured decades of neglect by successive administrations.

“On behalf of the people of Ibiono Ibom State Constituency, I want to use this opportunity to thank you, just three days ago at the State Exco meeting, you gave approval for the construction of Use Ikot Amama road which was like a national anthem in the past administrations,” he noted.

The lawmaker who bagged the chieftaincy title of ‘Edeme Ibiono ibom ‘ at the event noted that the new road project, when completed, would create access to the richly endowed communities covered in the contract.

He, therefore, pledged the cooperation of the beneficiary communities towards the smooth execution of the project.

Essien expressed gratitude to the Ibiono Ibom Monarch for finding him worthy of the honour and assured the paramount ruler that he would continue to be a vanguard for the actualisation of the Ibiono Ibom project.

He assured that his administration would continue to reciprocate such gesture through people – oriented projects in his domain.

Also speaking, the chairman of the occasion, Ntenyin Solomon Etuk, the president general of the Supreme Council of Akwa Ibom State traditional rulers, appreciated God for sparing the Ibiono Ibom Monarch to celebrate his 80th birthday.
