Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has directed all appointees, contractors, and stakeholders to prioritise grassroots empowerment to foster a more equitable and prosperous society.
Speaking during a special Sunday Service at the All Nations Christian Ministry International in Eket, the governor said the need to reach out to the people at the grassroots necessitated the recent statewide Ward meeting of the All Progressives Congress.
He commended local government chairmen and other stakeholders for their effective coordination of the meetings and for a productive outcome.
“If this administration is benefiting you in one way or the other, make sure you share this benevolence with people in your villages for them to also feel the impact of this government.
This same grassroots meeting of the party will be repeated next month of December to consolidate stronger membership and loyalty to the party as well as sustain the people’s sense of belonging and confidence in our governance,” he said.
While highlighting his commitment towards fixing failed portions of roads across the state as soon as the dry season sets in, the governor implored citizens and residents in Uyo, the state capital, and other places to be patient for the rainy season to stop, as all the poor roads within the areas will be adequately restored.
“Let me announce here that all the failed portions of roads have been appropriately studied and recorded down for prompt remedial interventions as soon as the rainy season is over,” he said.
He also disclosed that roads and streets in Uyo Metropolis and beyond will soon be provided with solar-powered light to befit its status as a tourist destination and provide the necessary security ambience.
