Residents and sports enthusiasts in Akwa Ibom commended Governor Eno on Tuesday for his initiative in repairing the multimillion-naira amphitheater at Ibom Plaza in Uyo.
Similarly, the provision of an amphitheater at Ikot Ekpene Plaza, allowing residents and sports lovers to watch the ongoing AFCON tournament for free, has also earned Governor Eno accolades for his visionary leadership.
TheHILL reports that while Ibom Plaza was constructed during the Arc. Victor Attah administration two decades ago, and the Ikot Ekpene plaza during Chief Godswill Akpabio's administration, both plazas had amphitheaters that successive administrations had tried to reactivate.
However, the seven-month-old administration of Pastor Umo Eno has recorded tremendous successes, attracting the praises of citizens and residents for finally reactivating the two places of camaraderie and fun.
Acknowledging the seamless management of the venues without security challenges, the State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Sir Charles Udoh, has received accolades for his exemplary role in ensuring a smooth experience for sports enthusiasts at the plazas and also for translating Pastor Eno's vision as encapsulated in the ARISE agenda.
Fielding questions at Ibom Plaza, Uyo, from our reporter on Tuesday, Mr. Ifiokobong Usen, a football lover, while watching the Tunisia and Namibia match, expressed gratitude for the government enabling him to watch the match for free and lauded Governor Umo Eno, emphasizing the positive impact he has made on the state since assuming office.
Helen Paul Ideh at Ikot Ekpene Plaza stated that Pastor Umo Eno has silenced even his worst critic in just a few months, with people-centric programs.
Also, Sellers at the two venues, according to our reporters, expressed their gratitude for the opportunity, noting increased sales and thanking the Governor for fostering economic growth.
On his part, Godwin Idiong, a student of the Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, called for massive support for Governor Umo Eno, applauding Commissioner Sir Charles for successfully translating the Governor's visionary initiatives into reality within the ministry, evidenced in events like Christmas Unplugged and Ibom Christmas Carols Festival 2023, among others.
