The Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency and Chairman, Public Procurement Committee, Rep. Unyime Idem has facilitated the employment of two Akwa Ibomites into the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).

The beneficiaries are;

*Utitofon Morgan Ekanem*

*Eme Okon Etim*

This is in gradual fulfilment of Rep. Idem’s promise to facilitate employment for 1000 Akwa Ibomites into strategic Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDAs) in 2025.

Addressing the beneficiaries at his Uyo residence, Rep. Idem handed them the letters of employment, congratulated them and charged them to be good ambassadors of Akwa Ibom state in their new workplace and exhibit passion, commitment sincerity, and other virtues as may be expected of them.

“This is part of fulfilment of my promise to facilitate 1000 jobs for Akwa Ibomites into strategic Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, in 2025. I will implement this alongside my sponsorship of overseas training for 100 Akwa Ibom people, which I instituted in 2024.”

“Be passionate about your job. You can’t succeed without passion. Be committed. Be sincere. Sincere people make impact, not only in the world of work, but wherever they find themselves. Sincerity brings promotion and elevation. Above all, put God first in all you do. I am a product of God’s grace. You can be that too, in your place of work.”

“Be available. Be good ambassadors of Akwa Ibom state. Be our ears there. Give us information that will help us harness more opportunities for our people.”

“It is my firm belief that in the next 10 to 15 years, we will have Akwa Ibomites as directors, Permanent Secretaries, and others in top management positions in the federal government. This way, we’ll be able to attract federal presence such as projects and programmes to Akwa Ibom state and lessen the burden on the state government.”

“We will also be able to close the quota gap where only a few Akwa Ibomites are in managerial positions in federal MDAs,” Idem said.

Responding, the beneficiaries thanked the federal lawmaker for facilitating their employment and vowed to make him and the state proud by their lifestyle and performance in their new place of work.
