The scholarship funds will cover Dr. Joseph Akpan's postgraduate studies in surgical and intervention science at McGill University, Canada, and Uwakmfon Umana Joseph's full scholarship to study software engineering at Nile University, Abuja. Governor Eno also noted that his predecessor, Senator Godswill Akpabio, had promised a scholarship to Dr. Akpan, who was the top student in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Uyo during the 2024/2025 academic year. The event, held at the ARISE Palm Resort in Uyo, marked the state's 39 years of existence and was a night of gratitude to the past leaders who have contributed to the state's progress. Governor Eno appreciated the efforts of his predecessors, Obong Victor Attah and Senator Godswill Akpabio, as well as Group Captain John Ebiye and Col. Yakubu Bako, for their contributions to the state. He also presented the Vice Chancellor of Akwa Ibom State University, Prof. Otoabasi Akpan, with an excellence leadership award for his work in securing accreditation for 49 courses and other achievements during his tenure.",
