Another Akwa Ibom indigene, Ettete, Itoro Uko, has received her employment letter into a Federal Government agency – the National Commission For Mass Literacy, Adult And Non-formal Education, as Environmental Health Officer.
The employment is facilitated by the member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Public Procurement, Rep. Unyime Idem.
Handing her the letter of employment in Abuja, Rep. Idem, restated his vow to use his office and goodwill to facilitate employment of as many Akwa Ibomites as possible into Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
He charged Itoro to be a good ambassador of Akwa Ibom state, in her new place of work.
“It is my firm believe that in the next 10 to 15 years, we will have Akwa Ibomites as directors, permanent secretaries and others in top management positions in the federal government. This way, we’ll be sure to attract federal presence, projects and programmes to Akwa Ibom state and lessen the burden on the state government.”
“We will also be able to close the quota gap where only few Akwa Ibomites are in managerial positions in federal MDAs,” Idem said.
Responding, the beneficiary, Ettete, Itoro Uko thanked the federal lawmaker for facilitating the employment for her, and vowed to make him and the state proud by her lifestyle and performance in her new place of work.
