The Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA), Akwa Ibom State Chapter, has expressed heartfelt condolences to Governor Umo Eno, Ph.D., over the painful loss of his wife, Her Excellency, Pastor (Mrs.) Patience Umo Eno, whose burial is scheduled for Friday, November 29, 2024.
In a condolence message signed by the newly sworn-in Chairman, Arc. Edidiong Ukpong, Ph.D., MNIA; Secretary, Arc Imaisong Ekpo Etim MNIA; and Public Relations Officer, Arc. Arc Victor Jackson MNIA, the Institute described the late First Lady as a pillar of support to the Governor and a beacon of hope to many through her humanitarian works.
The message read in part: “With deep sorrow, the Nigerian Institute of Architects, Akwa Ibom State Chapter, writes to express heartfelt condolences on the painful loss of your dear wife and mother of Akwa Ibom, Her Excellency, Pastor Patience Umo Eno, who will be interred this Friday. Indeed, Your Excellency, the demise of the First Lady has left a void that words cannot fill, and the entire state mourns with you in this moment of great grief.”
Recalling her legacy, the Institute praised her selflessness and impact through her pet project, the Golden Initiative for All (GIFA), which brought hope and succor to the less privileged.
The architects also urged the Governor to take solace in the words of John 11:25, which states: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
They concluded by offering prayers for divine strength and comfort for the Governor and his family, stating: “Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the entire First Family. May the Almighty grant you the fortitude to bear this immense loss, Your Excellency.”
Recall that the Arc. Edidiong Ukpong-led Exco came on board during the State Chapter and Biennial General Meeting and Conference of the NIA held in Uyo on Friday, November 22, 2024.
