Former President Goodluck Jonathan has commissioned several life-touching projects in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State as parts of the activities to mark the 60th birthday of Governor Umo Eno.
Some of the projects include the 1.3km underground concrete flood control tunnel, the reconstruction of a section of Atiku Abubakar way with a walking drainage, solar street lightd and the reconstruction of adjourning 1km Afaha Ube Road.
The former president while speaking at the event lauded the Governor for his leadership strides, having prioritized the needs of his people, which according to him, have been demonstrated in his ingenuity of initiating and completing such major life-touching projects within his first year in office.
Making reference to a recent flood alert by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency, Jonathan described Eno as proactive leader, saying that he is worthy of commendation. He urged Akwa Ibom people to be vigilant against antisocial elements and vandalization of public infrastructure.
In his remark, Governor Eno expressed gratitude to the former President, his predecessor, former Governor Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom People and all well wishers on his birthday.
He restarted the resolve of his office administration to use the Commonwealth of Akwa Ibom to put smiles on the faces of people through life-touching projects and programmes that will reduce their suffering.
In his words, he said, ” we are committed to touching lives and improving the standard of living of our people. We are committed to rural development and providing those soft and hard infrastructure.”
” The time demand that we feed our people and help themgo back to the farm. It demands that our people take advantage of all the contracts that are providing so many jobs for our young people. It requires that we keep being in peace to continue providing jobs to our people”.
