 Akwa Ibom Governor Backs Tinubu, Highlights State Achievements in Abuja


Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has called for national support for President Bola Tinubu, stating that the President inherited Nigeria’s current economic challenges and is working diligently to address them. Speaking to journalists after a meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday, Eno described Tinubu’s first two years in office as “wonderful” and urged Nigerians to rally behind him to “finish strong.”


“President Tinubu didn’t create the problem we are in right now,” Eno said. “I believe he is doing his best, and he should be supported.”


The governor also highlighted his administration’s achievements in Akwa Ibom over the past two years, citing progress in education, healthcare, road infrastructure, and rural development. “When you come to Akwa Ibom, you’ll find we are working across the board—from schools to hospitals, roads, and markets. We are delivering tangible results,” he stated.


Eno outlined plans for the second half of his tenure, which will focus on major infrastructure projects to position Akwa Ibom as an economic and tourist hub. “We’re now moving into super infrastructure. We want to make Akwa Ibom a tourist destination, and we are well on our way,” he said.


Reflecting on the state’s legacy of leadership, Eno praised his predecessors—Obong Victor Attah, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and Chief Udom Emmanuel—for laying a foundation of progress. “Akwa Ibom has been blessed with visionary leaders. We have sustained a development trajectory that has set us apart,” he noted.


On youth empowerment, Eno emphasized initiatives in skills development, job creation, and entrepreneurship, including an employment portal to connect job seekers with opportunities. “We’re training our young people, supporting SMEs, and working to rebuild the middle class,” he said.


The governor reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive growth through partnerships with the federal government and private sector, aiming to unlock Akwa Ibom’s full potential through strategic, long-term planning.
