Governor Eno warns against unauthorised press statements
Governor Umo Eno has warned members of the State Executive Council against issuing unauthorised press statements.
The governor gave the warning during a Sunday service at the Uyo Archdiocesan Headquarters of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Itiam Etoi.
Mr Eno stressed that only the chief press secretary and the information commissioner could issue press statements on behalf of the government.
He urged the citizens and government officials to uphold peace and unity in the state at all times, calling for continuous efforts toward fostering harmony.
The governor encouraged officials to carry out their duties with decorum, avoiding chaos or actions that might disrupt the peace and unity of the state.
“No government appointee has the right to issue a press statement without clearance from the Secretary to Government,” Mr Eno said.
He added, “We must continue to maintain decency and decorum in the state, ensuring the growth of peace and unity. Together, we will deliver democracy’s benefits to our people.”
Mr Eno reminded appointees to emulate the biblical Joseph from the Egyptian cabinet, embracing a forgiving spirit and working towards the state’s development.
