Gov Eno to constitute Akwa Ibom University of Education governing board

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has announced that the governing board for the newly upgraded University of Education, Afaha Nsit, would be constituted in no distant time.

The state House of Assembly had recently passed the bill for the upgrade of the College of Education, Afaha Nsit, to a full-fledged Akwa Ibom State University of Education.

Gov Eno, who disclosed this on Friday in his speech tagged, ‘Promises Made and Promises Fulfilled, Onward to Arise 2.0 marking his third anniversary in office, said his government will be establishing 3 Model Secondary Schools with State-of the -art facilities in each of the three senatorial districts.

The Speech partly read, “IAkwa Ibom College of Education, Afaha Nsit is now fully upgraded to a University of Education. The House of the Assembly recently passed a bill to that effect. In the next few weeks, we will constitute the Governing Board of the University.’’

The governor, while noting that his administration has been able to touch the planks of his ARISE agenda, especially the human capital development, urged Akwa Ibom people to continue showing him support as he is willing to deliver on his mandate.

Speaking on the 2027 elections, Gov Eno appealed to the people to play politics of human face, devoid of name-calling and violence, noting that no single life is worth shedding for anyone’s political ambition.

His words, “As the political season commences, I urge our people to play politics of ideas and not one of name-calling or character assassination. We have kept the peace in our State because no single life is worth shedding for anyone’s political ambition.

​

“Politics, as I said in my inaugural address, will come and go but the spirit and bond of our brotherhood will remain unbroken by the temporary passion of partisan politics. Let us imbibe the spirit of genuine sportsmanship in the game of politics. Today, our political slogan is Akwa Ibom United, and as we go to the polls next year, we will remain united, secure in our belief that an injury to one is an injury to all. I came as a peacemaker, and I will leave, by the Grace of God, leave office in 2031, as a peacemaker.”
