NUJ Grand Patron Lauds Gov. Eno On NGF Award, Impactful Two-Year Scorecard
As encomiums and accolades continue to trail the recent Award of Best Performing Governor 2025 to Pastor Umo Eno by the Nigeria Governors Forum, the Grand Patron of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Zone F, comprising the six states of the South-South, Isantim Churchill Udoh, has felicitated the governor on the special honour.
Isantim Udoh, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Westgate Group, in a press statement made available to journalists, described the award as well-deserved owing to the governor’s commitment and dedication to ensuring strategic implementation of the ARISE Agenda blueprint for the benefit of the people.
Describing the unveiling of the two-year performance of the governor in a well-attended ceremony as a clear sign of transparent and accountable leadership, the NUJ Grand Patron called for more support and prayers to enable Umo Eno’s administration to keep doing more for the people.
He described the governor as a very compassionate and kind-hearted person, noting that he has done so much for the vulnerable people in society through the provisions of ARISE Compassionate Homes and various seed funds to start up various businesses.
He also acknowledged the various empowerment and skill acquisition packages for the youths, the provisions for the elderly people and also the empowerment of women as a testament of focused and result-oriented leadership.
Isantim Udoh further highlighted that the ongoing tour of the 10 federal constituencies of the state for town square meetings by the governor, in which he massively empowered people and received their various NEEDS to be included in the 2026 budget, is a clear sign of populist government in the state.
Above all, he described the peace and security in the state as unequalled, calling on Nigerians to take full advantage of the enabling environment provided by Governor Eno to visit, live and invest in Àkwa Ibom State.
He urged the governor to remain focused and pull all necessary strings to ensure that Akwa Ibom State and her people achieve their full potentials, describing the governor’s bipartisan politics and governance as a panacea to achieve maximum peace, cooperation and unity.
