Helen Eno-Obareki: Carrying Her Mother’s Light Forward

Her life is defined by compassion, hard work, praising and worship God. Since her entrance into Akwa Government House, Helen Eno-Obareki who celebrated her birthday on Monday, continues to inspire and put smiles on faces

On Monday, August 24th, Akwa Ibom State celebrated the birthday of Helen Eno-Obareki, the Coordinator of the Office of the First Lady. This momentous day was not just a birthday acknowledgment, but a tribute to a young woman who stepped into a significant role during challenging times, maintaining the late First Lady's dream alive.

Governor Umo Eno, a father figure, praised Helen as "my dear daughter" and expressed immense pride in her work. He elaborated that the role was inherited from his late wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno, ensuring continuity and family legacy. The Golden Initiative For All (GIFA), a signature project of the late First Lady, is a focal point of Helen's work.

She pledged to continue her mother's vision of touching lives, supporting families, and providing compassion to the vulnerable. The GIFA has impacted over 15,000 pupils, provided free healthcare through GIFA Wheels of Hope, and empowered more than 5,000 women. Governor Eno prayed for Helen's wisdom, strength, and grace, wishing her a happy birthday.

Other government officials, including the Press Secretary to the First Lady, Uduak Ekong, and Joy Solomon from Pure Wisdom Counselking Foundation, also extended birthday wishes, highlighting Helen's compassion, vision, and dedication. Helen's commitment to GIFA aligns with Governor Eno's ARISE Agenda, focusing on dismantling barriers for the girl child's growth and maternal and child health.
