From Isaac Job, Uyo
Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Bassey Eno, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to complete ongoing projects before the end of his first term in office and flagged off two weeks ministerial briefing across MDAs in the state.
Eno while declaring open a two-week Ministerial Briefing at the State Executive Council Chambers, Government House, Uyo said the briefing was convened to present the State priorities in the new year and set a clear agenda for continuous and effective service delivery in line with the ARISE Agenda of his administration.
He explained that the exercise is aimed at ensuring early, focused, and efficient delivery of government programmes, particularly as the year will combine governance with political activities.
He noted that the daily ministerial briefings, scheduled to run from 12th to 21st January 2026, will feature presentations from members of the Executive Council, Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State.
He disclosed that each Commissioner is expected to attend the briefing with Permanent Secretary, Delivery Advisers, and other relevant officers.
Eno urged State Executive Council members to take full advantage of the opportunity to render proper accounts of stewardship, including their achievements in 2025 and projections for 2026, stressing that all plans must align strictly with the ARISE Agenda.

” The State currently has over sixty ongoing priority projects outside road construction, with a clear focus on completing them before the end of my first term.
“No new projects will be entertained unless they have a direct impact on the people, align with the ARISE Agenda, and fall within available budgetary provisions” .
Eno while reflecting on the forthcoming general election charged Council members to be prepared to present the administration’s report cards to the public and charged them to remain focused, proactive, and free of unnecessary excuses.
” From February, Commissioners will be scheduled for regular media engagements, including monthly press briefings and weekly radio appearances on programmes such as Matters Arising, to enable them to account for their performance directly to the public.
” Commissioners and Heads of Departments and Agencies attendance at such media engagements will be compulsory because they form part of official government assignments, especially in an election year”.
