A’Ibom LG boss lauds Eno for honouring late matriarch

The Chairman of Etinan Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State, Uko Umoh, praised Governor Umo Eno for attending the funeral of Deaconess Jenny Onofiok Ufot, who passed away despite Eno's busy official schedule. Umoh stated that Eno's presence at the funeral on August 8 demonstrated compassion, solidarity, and dedication to the people of Etinan.

The council chairman also applauded the governor for acknowledging the legacy of the late matriarch, describing her as someone who dedicated her life to God, her family, and community. Umoh further appreciated Eno for announcing the construction of the Afaha Akpan Ekpo Road during the funeral, viewing the project as a fitting memorial to the deceased.

"The announcement of the construction of Afaha Akpan Ekpo Road at the funeral ceremony is, to us in Etinan, the best way to immortalise our dear mother, who gave her all in service to God and her community," Umoh remarked. Umoh added that the residents of Etinan expressed gratitude for Eno's commitment to infrastructure development and the welfare of communities throughout the state.
