By Ubong Creativity David
Commendations from Akwa Ibom people have continued to trail the State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, on his recent sponsorship of 39 students from public secondary schools in the state for an education exchange program in the United Kingdom.
Reacting to a video clip posted by the Governor on his verified Facebook page, the people thanked him for his visionary leadership and commitment to educational development in the state, maintaining that the selection process of beneficiaries have further proved that the Governor is running an all inclusive administration.
In his comment, Efisong Udo said, “This is what makes you a Great Leader. You don’t need to ask, you know what to do at the right time. Respect the Golden Boy, Our Dear Governor.”
Emmanuel Saviour Eyo said, “You have not failed me for once! You are leading us right My Excellent Governor.”
Brightlovest Unwana in her reaction said, “This is a great accomplishment His Excellency. May God Almighty continue to bless you.”
Another user, Daniel Ndekhedehe, commended the Governor, said his programs and policies are geared towards discovering the untapped talents in Akwa Ibom children. “Commendable Your Excellency. Your programs and policies are geared towards discovering the untapped talents in Akwa Ibom children. God Bless you.
Ekwo Editing in his comment said, “His Excellency Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding work you’ve done in Akwa Ibom State. Your dedication and commitment to the people are truly commendable. May God continue to bless and guide you as you remain in office. Thank you for your selfless service, and may your tenure be marked with continued prosperity and progress for the state. Remain blessed!”
Venerable Steve Mario Udofia wrote, “I strongly think, the power of this exchange program lies not only in the sharing of knowledge, but in the exchange of perspectives, ideas, and dreams. As these exceptional individuals from Akwa Ibom embark on this educational journey in the UK, they carry with them the vibrant spirit of their heritage, and return with a wealth of new experiences, fostering “glocal” understanding and unity.”
Don Udowan said, “Dear Sir, I commend this excellent initiative. To ensure it has lasting impact, it should not end with their return. It would be a missed opportunity if the goal is simply for them to visit these countries and then return to their regular lives. I suggest, offering them full scholarships to study at one of the universities they visited. God bless our Governor.”
“My beloved governor, you are a good visionary leader. l pray that God should make your expectations from this students come to fulfilment in future. You are special and God’s sent governor to Akwa lbom State. Congratulations sir for leading Akwa lbom state with the fear of God and in Godly manners,” Ime Elijah wrote.
Daniel Dan, in his comment, commended the Governor for the selection process which is devoid of favouritism and sentiments, noting that the program will be more impactful as selection is on merit.
“What makes this programme more impactful is the fact that these are not children of the high and mighty in the society, rather from low and average backgrounds and above all, students from public schools. Thank you Your Excellency.”
Ezekiel Ibanga said, “Thank you so much Your Excellency. This is the benefit of bringing someone from the middle class background to power not an elite, someone that has seen it all from the police barracks, to the street hawking and becoming a serial entrepreneur, then to the corridor of power, boom💥every where in stew. Please, Your Excellency, when you want to produce your successor through the help of the Holy Spirit spirit, carefully look for your kind.”
William Udoh said, “Governor Pastor Umo Eno,
if you have not done anything in Akwa Ibom State since your assumption in office, for this Education program, I applaud you for this. This is good. May Almighty God bless you as you cater for the poor and the most vulnerable in Akwa Ibom.”
Ifiok Solomon commented, “This is the most transparent process ever seen in this state. For these children to be shortlisted on merit without God fathers or political influence shows and tells a lot about the character of His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno. God bless Akwa Ibom State.”
Recall that the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, recently sponsored 39 students for exchange program in the United Kingdom Edutrip.
The students were selected from public secondary schools in rural areas of the 31 Local Government Areas of the state, through examination.
They are scheduled to undertake taster sessions at Imperial College, University of Cambridge, and Coventry University, in addition to study tours to the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, The National Arts Gallery, Science Museum and the museum of natural history, etc.
Edutrip is a brainchild of Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State as part of his administration’s investment in education. The Edutrip is an incentivization strategy by the government to stimulate better academic performance at the secondary education level, in addition to the payment of examination fees, bursaries and scholarships for tertiary institutions, grants to physically challenged students, and infrastructure improvements at all levels.
The Governor aims to promote academic excellence by rewarding intelligent students in different ways. He had promised the students his continuous support, beyond the UK trip.
