Governor Eno acknowledged that he is on a mission to leave a lasting legacy and emphasized the need for a comprehensive action plan that requires the collective efforts of individuals from all political affiliations to succeed.

He stated, “In the course of my campaign, I pledged to demystify governance and make myself accessible to the common people, as it is from that segment of society that God elevated me, through the support of my political mentor, to become the governor of this blessed state today.”

He concluded by expressing his determination to leverage the state’s advantages in the blue economy and tourism sectors to enhance the quality of life for the people of Akwa Ibom, aligning with his ‘Arise Agenda.’
