The Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency, Rep. Unyime Idem has rewarded three of his media aides by facilitating their employment into the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA.
Consequently, Rep. Idem presented them with their letters of employment at his residence in Uyo on Saturday evening.
In his brief remarks after presenting the letters of employment, Rep. Unyime Idem said the gesture was in fulfillment of his campaign promise to push for his constituents to get jobs in Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
According to the Ukanafun/Oruk Anam federal lawmaker, “as chairman of the Public Procurement Committee, I interface with a lot of MDAs everyday, and so far, I’ve been able to meet only two permanent secretaries and four directors who are from Akwa Ibom state. This is far cry from what it should be.
It breaks my heart that in Abuja, during my interactions with these government MDAs, I rarely see Akwa Ibomites.
So, it is my resolve to ensure that a lot of my constituents and by extension, Akwa Ibomites are enlisted into the Federal Civil Service, so in the next 10 to 15 years, we will have Directors and Permanent Secretaries and others occupying management positions in MDAs.”
Rep. Idem therefore urged the beneficiaries to be good ambassadors of the Federal Constituency and the state, assuring that he will facilitate more employment opportunities for his constituents in the coming weeks and months.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Etieno Ibanga, thanked Rep. Idem profusely for facilitating their employment into the NTA, an agency of the federal government, assuring that they will be good ambassadors of the federal constituency and the state.
