Ifim Ibom Ibibio, the highest traditional institution in Ibibio Land, has congratulated the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, on his attainment of 60 years of age.
 
The body, otherwise known as the Supreme Council of Ibibio Traditional Rulers, said in a goodwill message titled "Happy Birthday to a Worthy Son and Leader" that the life and times of Pastor Eno are full of exciting reasons to celebrate.
 
In the message, signed by the Oku Ibom Ibibio and the President General of Ifim Ibom Ibibio, His Eminence, Ntenyin (Dr.) Solomon Daniel Etuk, JP, CFR, said the Governor "stand tall as a worthy son—a cleric, consummate businessman, statesman, bridge builder, an icon and a servant leader."
 
It was noted that since he came on board as the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on May 29, 2023, his performance records have been phenomenal. 
 
"Through the ARISE Agenda programme of your administration, lives are being immensely touched from the rural to urban centres with poverty alleviation schemes across the 31 LGAs, the award of multiple road construction, the building and enhancement of health and education institutions, housing estates, the payment of pensions and gratuities, and a healthy relationship with traditional rulers, among others," it added.
 
Ifim Ibom Ibibio pointed out that Governor Eno has brought a commendable new dimension of non-partisanship into governance, thus making inclusivity the hallmark of his administration. 
 
The body further stated that Governor Eno's laudable scorecard has accentuated his impacts, thus endearing him to the people across the state and beyond, which makes them quite happy. 
 
It said that his "birthday therefore comes to us, nay, our entire people, with an exhilaration of joy for the peaceful disposition and enormous life-touching schemes you have brought into governance."
 
The body, on behalf of the Ibibio people, heartily felicitates the governor and his family on the great occasion of his 2024 birth anniversary.
 
Ifim Ibom Ibibio, while expressing appreciation to the Almighty God for his life, prayed for many more fulfilling years ahead for Governor Eno.
