He reiterated that workers will be paid their 13th month salary popularly known as Eno-mber before December 20, adding that there will be an “home going” on December 20 where all political office holders will contribute to support bags of rice that will be sent to villages across the state by the State government.
Governor Eno who has been very committed to the welfare of the citizenry stressed that the bags of rice will be distributed to every household through their respective village authorities.
He said the State will continue to live in peace and unity without any form of intimidation or molestation, adding that the ban on masquerade on the streets of Akwa Ibom is an executive order which has been signed, and anyone caught would be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.
Governor Eno who is a pastor by vocation expressed gratitude to God for His numerous blessings on the State since the beginning of the year, appreciated everyone who participated in the covenant service, and prayed for more blessings on the State and its citizenry in the coming year.
