Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has sworn in the newly-elected chairmen and vice chairmen for the 31 local government areas of the state.
As earlier reported, the swearing-in took place on Monday at the Conference Hall of the Government House in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.
While addressing the new chairmen and vice chairmen at the ceremony, Governor Eno charged them to make the people’s welfare a priority and see their election as a call to service.
He also reminded the new chairmen that their coming into grassroots government at a time of dwindling economic fortunes places a burden on them to turn the situation around for the benefit of the people.
Eno charged them to ensure peace and unity at the grassroots by making the people’s welfare a priority in line with the Arise Agenda of his administration.
