Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, on Saturday presided over a landmark All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ meeting in Nsit Ubium Local Government Area, rallying leaders and party faithful around a renewed call for unity, restructuring, and grassroots engagement.
The meeting, tagged “Home Going,” held at the Nsit Ubium Local Government Secretariat, Ikot Edibon, saw the Governor reiterate the importance of political cohesion and membership revalidation in strengthening the party’s structure across the state.
Governor Eno also reassured the people of the ongoing efforts toward the realization of the long-awaited Ibom Deep Sea Port project, stating that both the State and Federal Governments remain fully committed to its actualisation.
“We will very soon start the Ibom Deep Sea Port,” he said. “It is a long process. Documentation takes time, and the search for credible investors is ongoing. The Federal Government is ready, and we are working the talk. Let our people be patient and rest assured that the project will soon become a delightful reality.”
The Governor expressed appreciation for the warm reception accorded him by Nsit Ubium stakeholders and pledged to deliver more development to the area. He announced plans to construct new dual carriage roads linking Nung Udoe to the East-West Road, Nung Udoe to Afaha Nsit, and from Afaha Offiong to Itreto.
He urged the people to remain aligned with the APC, noting that Akwa Ibom has strategically moved “to the centre” to ensure broader dividends of democracy.
Welcoming the Governor, the Chairman of Nsit Ubium Local Government Area, Hon. Alfred Charles, described the visit as a homecoming. He commended Governor Eno for his people-centered leadership and for the numerous development projects recorded in the area and across the state.
APC Chapter Chairman, Hon. Johnson Udoka, expressed gratitude for the turnaround witnessed within the party in the state.
On their part, Lady Helen Obareki, Senator Effiong Bob, Captain Iniobong Ekong, Hon. Otobong Bob, Obong Umana Okon Umana and other stakeholders lauded Governor Eno’s visionary leadership, which they said has translated into remarkable infrastructure and social development.
