The Personal Assistant to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Youth Affairs, Comrade Amama Aloysius, has lauded Governor Umo Eno for providing a new lease of life for a widow in Obot Akara Local Government Area through the ARISE Compassionate Home initiative.

Comrade Amama, who hails from Nto Edino in Obot Akara, spoke during the commissioning and formal handover of a newly constructed and fully furnished two-bedroom ARISE Compassionate Home to Mrs. Comfort Linus of Nto Omum.

The home, fitted with solar-powered electricity and a borehole, according to the Governor’s aide, represents more than the provision of shelter, describing it as a demonstration of the administration’s commitment to restoring dignity, security and hope to vulnerable citizens.

He said the intervention was a clear expression of Governor Eno’s compassionate leadership, stressing that the impact of governance becomes most meaningful when it reaches ordinary citizens and addresses their most pressing needs.

“This is a clear reflection of what compassionate leadership should be. His Excellency, Governor Umo Eno, has shown that governance is not only about infrastructure but also about touching lives, restoring dignity and giving hope to people who need it most,” Comrade Amama said.

The Governor’s aide commended the administration for extending the initiative to Obot Akara, noting that the new home would provide Mrs. Linus and her family with a safer and more comfortable environment.

Comrade Amama also acknowledged the political leader of Obot Akara, Rt. Hon. Sir Monday Ebong Uko, for his contributions to political stability, grassroots engagement and the development of the Local Government Area.

He described Sir Monday Uko as an experienced and stabilising political leader whose commitment to peace, unity and mentorship had continued to benefit the people of Obot Akara.

“Sir Monday Uko remains a respected leader in Obot Akara whose experience, wisdom and commitment to the growth of our people continue to inspire many of us. His contribution to political stability, mentorship and grassroots development in our Local Government cannot be overlooked,” he stated.

The Governor’s aide equally commended the Executive Chairman of Obot Akara Local Government Area, Rt. Hon. Simon Dominic Akpan, for his grassroots-oriented leadership and efforts towards advancing development across the Local Government.

He noted that the progress of Obot Akara would require sustained cooperation among political leaders, government officials, traditional institutions, youths and other stakeholders, urging the people to support initiatives that directly improve their lives.

Comrade Amama expressed appreciation to Governor Eno for the opportunity to serve and for bringing the ARISE Compassionate Home intervention to his home Local Government, describing the gesture as a memorable example of responsive governance.

He further called on the people, particularly youths, to remain united and peaceful while supporting the administration’s development agenda, stressing that sustainable progress could only be achieved through collective commitment to the common good.

As part of his support for grassroots empowerment, the Governor’s aide also presented a brand-new sewing machine to Rose Michael, providing her with an opportunity to strengthen her tailoring business and improve her livelihood.
