“Ibom Equipment Leasing Limited is a key component of the Agricultural Revolution mantra of the ARISE Agenda, which also embodies the Food Security Programme, farmers’ grant, the Ibom Model Farm, and the Tree Crop Revolution, among other initiatives of Governor Umo Eno’s administration,” he enthused.
Eteidung Asikpo further said that Ekpri Nsukara as the host community of Ibom Equipment Leasing Limited, truly values the siting of the project in their village and accordingly assured that they will cooperate fully with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the state government as a whole, for its successful operation.
He used the occasion to appeal passionately to the Governor, whom he described as a “dedicated, hardworking, and people-centric Leader,” to consider addressing some deplorable roads and erosion menace that endanger the community, especially during the rainy season.
He also urged the government to intervene in the community-owned Ekpri Nsukara Offot International Schools (ENISCO), which borders the Ibom Equipment Leasing Limited with the provision of equipment and additional school blocks, etc.
“Ekpri Nsukara Offot earnestly appeals to our dedicated, hardworking, and people-centric Leader, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, PhD, Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, to consider addressing some deplorable roads and erosion threats that endanger our community, especially during the rainy season.
“We also passionately require government intervention in our community-owned Ekpri Nsukara Offot International Schools (ENISCO), which borders this facility, Ibom Equipment Leasing Limited,” he said.
The village head pledged the full support of the community to the administration of Governor Umo Eno and to the continuation of his leadership into 2027 and beyond.
According to him, they hold this conviction strongly, having witnessed the monumental impact of the ARISE Agenda across the entire State.
“Obong Emem Akwa Ibom State, we love and cherish your leadership! May the good Lord bless you and all those present here,” he said.
The Ibom Equipment Leasing Facility is positioned as a central hub for agricultural mechanisation, providing equipment leasing for land preparation services and technical support to farmers, cooperatives and agribusinesses.
