A humane person is one who shows great compassion and caring for others, including animals, and who tries whenever possible to alleviate another's suffering.
The idea of being humane is linked to a higher level of a person's character.
While the word 'Humane' is derived from the word 'Human' the sad fact is that a person can be human without being humane.
Nigeria as a Country has produced so many Leaders but only a handful has demonstrated the humane attribute in their Leadership style
There is a popular adage that says; "There are many humans without humanity in their Character"
This adage means that having a human form or belonging to the human specie of GOD'S Creation doesn't necessarily mean that one automatically embodies humanity qualities like Kindness, Compassion or genuine concern for others in their character,
His Excellency Pastor Umo Eno PhD, the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, has consistently demonstrated exceptional humane qualities in his leadership style, setting him apart as one of the most compassionate leaders in Nigeria's history.
His commitment to alleviating the suffering of others and showing kindness to those in need has positively impacted millions of lives in Akwa Ibom State.
