The Apostle Elijah Jack’s Foundation has publicly commended Governor Umo Bassey Eno for what it describes as “two years of transformative and people-centered leadership” in Akwa Ibom State, marking the Governor’s second anniversary in office with high praise and a unified call for continued development.
In a statement released by Mrs. Theresa Ekemini Donatus, Head of Communications for the Foundation, the organization celebrated key strides made under Governor Eno’s administration, citing notable advancements in infrastructure, grassroots empowerment, education, healthcare, and agricultural development.
“Governor Umo Eno has shown that governance can be both compassionate and effective, his strides in improving the welfare of the common man and strengthening local economies have not gone unnoticed.” said Apostle Elijah Jack, the Founder and Chairman of the Foundation.
The Foundation, known for its strong focus on spiritual growth and community development, emphasized its alignment with the Governor’s vision of an equitable and opportunity-driven Akwa Ibom. It also used the occasion to propose strategic policy recommendations aimed at deepening the impact of the current administration’s efforts.
Among the key suggestions were: Integrated Rural-Urban Transportation: The establishment of a state-wide mass transit system to connect rural communities with urban centers, stimulating trade and reducing travel costs; Affordable Housing with Local Content by Encouraging the use of local materials and labor in housing projects to address housing deficits and boost the state’s economy.
Another area the foundation urged the governor to look into was, State Housing & Transport Development Bank: Proposing the creation of a dedicated institution to finance housing and transport initiatives for residents and entrepreneurs.
While congratulating his achievements in the past two years, the Foundation also expressed optimism for the remaining 6 years of Governor Eno’s tenure, offering prayers and continued partnership for even greater achievements.
In a strong declaration of support, Apostle Jack made it clear that the Foundation’s allegiance is not tied to any political party but to visionary leadership that prioritizes people and progress.
“As long as the mandate is development, and the heart behind it is genuine service, we are committed to walking with this administration, to pray, to partner, and to protect the peace of our land,” he stated.
The statement concluded with a reaffirmation of the Foundation’s mission to collaborate with government efforts that advance unity, prosperity, and sustainable growth in Akwa Ibom State.
