Eno to flag-off int’l hospital, conference centre, other projects to mark second year in office

Akwa Ibom State governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has disclosed plans to flag-off key projects in the state as part of activities to mark his second anniversary in office.

Some of the projects, the governor said, include a 200-bed Ibom international hospital, a 5000-seater Ibom international convention centre, and a 200-bed Ibom hotel.

The governor disclosed this at the May edition of Government House monthly covenant service held at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo.

He said that an interdenominational thanksgiving service to celebrate the anniversary will hold on May 25, at the International Christian Worship Centre, adding that it will be an opportunity to gather as a state to thank God for His faithfulness and mercies for the past two years.

The governor urged religious leaders to pray for peace and good governance in the state, avoid meddling into politics and focus on God for the overall good of the state.

Speaking on the empowerment initiative of his administration, he advised privileged Akwa Ibomites not to allow their wards partake in the different programmes which, he said, was meant for the underprivileged.

Eno further urged those interested in the government’s initiatives such as empowerment and employments to register with the state portals created for them as names will be harvested from there for interviews and possible engagements.

He emphasised on the need for all to focus on enhancing the current peace and unity enjoyed across the state and called on all and sundry to desist from unnecessary speculations and permutations, as such might be counter-productive.

Earlier, Primate Emeritus of the African Church, Emmanuel Udofia, said God’s great wonder is a divine act that surpasses natural laws and human efforts, stressing that every second in a man’s life is filled with mighty wonders.

He admonished Christians not to give up in hard or troubling times, but to keep trusting God who is able to do great wonders.
