Governor Eno tells Akwa Ibom people to be hardworking
Governor Umo Eno has urged youths in its North-East senatorial district and the state to inculcate the spirit of hard work and entrepreneurship to attract government support.
Mr Eno gave the charge during a New Year get-together of the Akwa Ibom North-East Consultative Forum (AKNECF) in Uyo on Thursday.
He expressed gratitude to the political stakeholders of the forum for having purchased his gubernatorial nomination form for the March 18, 2023, governorship election and taking steps to ensure his victory at the polls.
The governor reaffirmed his resolve to work toward delivering on the mandate they entrusted to him to make the forum proud continuously.
He urged youths of the area to draw inspiration from the tenets of his administration’s ARISE Agenda blueprint.
Mr Eno said that his administration would only have justification to support hard work and entrepreneurship to enhance productivity.
“Favour will always meet people at the place of work or productivity. God Himself promises to crown hard work with success as it was inglorious to stay idle and expect to be funded with the proceeds of other people’s sweat,” he said.
Earlier, the political leader of Akwa Ibom North-East senatorial district and forum chairman, Effiong Bob, said the people were pleased with Mr Eno’s leadership disposition.
