Governor Umo Eno has explained that the appointment of Mr Enobong Uwah as Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government, SSG, was a product of merit and hardwork.
Eno stated this yesterday shortly after he administered the oaths of office and allegiance on the newly appointed SSG yesterday in Uyo.
The Governor stressed that while his administration would not discard those that worked for them, it would try to bring on board new faces they believe have things they could contribute in subsequent programmes.
“When we started our campaign and throughout the campaign I made it clear to people that we will reward hard work, and those who will contribute tireslessly in the scheme of things.
“This very first appointment is the result of of our commitment to keep to our words. Prince Enobong Uwah served as Secretary of our campaigns, not just for Our campaigns. Also he served as Secretary of Divine Mandate.
“For those who may believe that we should bring new faces on board, I agree with them. But again, those new faces we must bring on board must be those that worked for our campaign.” He explained.
He congratulated Uwah on his appointment and subsequent swearing saying, “your appointment is a product of merit, of hardwork, fidelity and faith in the continuous growth and development of our dear state.
The Governor urged the new Sexpected to deploy your organizational and skills in managing the vast bureaucracy of the system.
“I believe in in the next 100 days we should be able to use our Emails to do work of government and that will be your first assignment, ensure that government work is no more delayed.
“The Emails must be working and functional so that we should be able to do the Onerous task that is ahead of us. I intend by the grace of God to run government business with Private sector mindset.
“We came ready and understand what it takes to take Akwa Ibom to the next level. Let no one be left in doubt that our humility means weakness. We understand that there is a burden of leadership and can promise that we will not disappoint.
“This is a golden era of our state and we have zero tolerance for weaklings in our engines of operation. I am confident of the choice we made in you Prince Enobong Uwah. Get the job done for our state and for our people. After we get the job done we will have happy hour.” He concluded.
