The Akwa Ibom governor has said that it is the Akwa Ibom people that drive his administration’s passion for quality service delivery.
Pastor Umo Eno, who stated this, Monday, while fielding questions from Government House correspondents after another round of inspection of the Uyo City tourism ecosystem projects, comprising the 5,000-capacity International Convention Centre, the 200-bedroom Ibom Hotel, ARISE Shopping City, amusement park, and others, shortly after the State Executive Council meeting, in company of all members of the State EXCO, said it was the Akwa Ibom people that drive his administration’s passion for quality service delivery, as they are the ones who voted him to work for them.
Eno noted that his administration’s passion to deliver to the people what is of global standard drives his routine unscheduled inspection of the projects, pledging to continuously work for the people.
He said the entire infrastructural projects in the capital city are tailored towards transforming the State’s tourism ecosystem for economic benefit of the people and the State.
“It is the Akwa Ibom people that drive our passion for quality service delivery. They voted for us to work, and we will continue to work for them.
“This is part of the responsibilities of the Exco, to inspect and monitor projects. It is simply putting money where your mouth is. We are making sure the reports we are getting are in line with what is on ground.
“The Shopping City is in our overall design to help develop the tourism ecosystem around here in Uyo, which boasts of the International Convention Centre, the hotel, shopping city, amusement park, and more.
“All of these form part of our tourism ecosystem around here. That was the concept, and we intend to realize it. People should be able to come here for their conferences, do their shopping in standard malls just like what we usually see outside the country,” he stated.
