REVITALIZATION OF OIL & GAS FACILITY, CAPACITY BUILDING, ELECTRICITY TOP PRIORITIES IN MKPAT ENIN FOR 2025
In the 2025 fiscal year, the people of Mkpat Enin Local Government Area can look forward to the revitalisation of local facilities, including the Oil and Gas Training Centre currently under development, to equip local youths with essential knowledge and skills relevant to the oil and gas industry.
Additionally, the Council’s administration plans to implement capacity development and training programs for indigenes in various skills, such as rigging, scaffolding, and crane operations, while participants will receive certifications to enhance their employability in the job market.
These plans were shared by the Chairman of Mkpat Enin Local Government Area, Hon (Engr.) Emmanuel Inyang, during a briefing with a delegation of the Conference of Online Publishers in Akwa Ibom State (COOPA) who visited the council secretariat on Thursday, January 30, as part of the COOPA Citizens’ Tour.
Engr. Inyang also announced plans to improve electricity access in towns within Mkpat Enin that have experienced chronic power outages, as well as implement market reforms and renovations to boost commercial activities.
He said these efforts align with his administration’s Emancipation Blueprint, which is inspired by the State Government’s ARISE Agenda.
Inyang said, “we want to be intentional about human capacity development by empowering our people to function and thrive in today’s Nigeria. There are already some International Oil Companies (IOCs) operating in Mkpat Enin, so we aim to equip our people and prepare them for the workforce.”
Meanwhile, in his first one hundred days in office, Engr. Inyang listed several achievements by his administration, including the grading of over 12 kilometers of rural roads across ten villages and completion of Traditional Rulers Council, which now features offices and a conference centre.
Other achievements include the distribution of materials to public school students, donation of over 100 free UTME forms to local students, provision of Computer-Based Training for beneficiaries, and the restoration of electricity in Ikot Oyoro, in Ikpa Ibom Ward III.
Earlier in his address, COOPA Chancellor, Mr. Utitofon Morgan expressed his satisfaction with the council’s restoration of power supply and praised the cleanliness of the surrounding area.
Morgan, flanked by the Tour Coordinator, Mr. Uwakmfon Dan, commended the current crop of Council Chairmen for their hard work, noting that the developments observed in the council secretariats visited thus far have been impressive, showcasing tangible projects and clear policy directions.
