CELEBRATING WITH ORPHANS AND THE VULNERABLE, MY BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT – GOVERNOR ENO
On April 24, 2024, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, Governor, Akwa Ibom State will turn 60 years old.
In appreciating God for His Grace and benevolence, and in line with his life-long attachment and identification with the vulnerable and the downtrodden, and fully conscious of the realities of the current times, he has asked that no elaborate celebrations be done to mark the day.
Rather, he has asked that all those who may wish to celebrate this milestone with advertorials in newspapers, television scrolls and gifts, convert such to what the vulnerable population needs the most at this time: food, medical supplies, etc.
“The best birthday gift you may give me would be a visit to orphanages, and homes of the vulnerable with food items or any other items that may make their lives more meaningful. You should take pictures with them and give them good cheers, then forward the pictures to me. These pictures would be made into a Birthday Album and would be better appreciated by me, than newspaper advertorials”, the Governor had stated.
His Excellency, the Governor, will also use the opportunity of his birthday to commission the multibillion Naira 1.3 km underground flood control tunnel, from Atiku Abubakar Avenue to Olusegun Obasanjo Way, the restoration of the surface drains and concrete walk-way, as well as the Rehabilitation Works on Afaha Ube to Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo, project, which are some of landmark infrastructural projects he has executed ten months into his administration. More projects across sectors will be commissioned in the lead-up to the First Anniversary of the administration on May 29, 2024.
There will be a Thanksgiving Service by 4pm, later on the Governor’s birthday at the iconic International Christian Worship Centre, Uyo to thank God for all He has done in the life of the Governor and indeed our dear State.
All those who are disposed are invited to attend.
