Easter: Senate President Akpabio Salutes Fallen Heroes, Vows End To Insecurity

President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, on Sunday, assured Nigerians that the wave of insecurity across the country would soon be brought to an end, expressing optimism that the nation would overcome its current challenges.

Akpabio gave the assurance in his Easter message delivered at the Ikot Ekpene Field Major Convention of The Apostolic Church, Ikot Obong Edong, in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State.

His remarks were contained in a statement issued in Abuja by his Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Anietie Ekong.

The Senate President acknowledged the deep pain and loss experienced by many Nigerians as a result of ongoing security challenges, particularly among families of fallen security personnel and victims of violence.

He said, “Across our country, many families are passing through moments of grief and loss. Some have lost loved ones in the line of duty – our brave men and women in uniform who daily put their lives on the line to defend our nation.

“Some have lost fathers, mothers, children and friends in their homes, places of worship, markets, farms, and work places as Nigeria continues to confront the painful challenge of insecurity.”

Offering condolences, Akpabio added, “To such families, please know that your pain is shared by the entire nation. We mourn with you, pray for you, and honour the memory of those whose lives have been cut short. Their sacrifices can never be forgotten.”

Despite the prevailing concerns, he expressed confidence that the message of Easter symbolises hope and victory, assuring Nigerians that peace would ultimately prevail.

“Just as the resurrection revealed the complete triumph of Christ, I firmly believe that soon Nigeria’s story will also reach its full and victorious conclusion: ‘Nigeria defeats insecurity, evil and fear.

“That is the hope Easter places before us. It teaches us that darkness never has the final word. It reminds us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

In his homily, the Field Superintendent of the Apostolic Church and host of the convention, Apostle (Dr) E. O. Akpan, also expressed optimism that Nigeria would overcome its security challenges, noting that sustained prayers and unity would usher in an era of peace and development.

Governor Umo Eno Commission 5.5km Road with Erosion Control Facilities in Akwa Ibom Community

The commissioning, which is scheduled for 3pm at Udo Inwang Road, Uyo, is the ninth in the series of projects lined up for commissioning as part of activities marking Akwa Ibom State’s 39th anniversary.

The road, which is in line with the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development, is expected to ease movement, support economic activities and improve access for residents and businesses within the area.

The project also incorporates erosion control facilities, reflecting the administration’s practical approach to addressing environmental challenges while delivering durable infrastructure that will serve the people.

For Governor Eno, quality infrastructure is essential to economic growth and improved living standards. His administration has been very intentional in its drive to ensure that no community is left behind in the distribution of development projects across the State.

The commissioning of the 5.5km Udo Inwang Road today is therefore another strategic step in the Governor’s effort to strengthen road infrastructure, address environmental concerns and take the dividends of development closer to the people at the grassroots.

The 5.5km stretch accompanying erosion control measures which consequently add to the growing network of functional roads within Uyo will reduce travel time, and provide a lasting solution to flooding and erosion that had for years affected residents in the area.

Governor Eno’s administration has continued to place emphasis on the development of healthcare infrastructure as part of its broader human capital development and people-oriented programmes.

The construction of the Model Primary Health Centre is therefore expected to contribute to improved healthcare delivery and better health outcomes within the local government area.

The commissioning ceremony is scheduled to commence at 3:00 p.m. at the Model Primary Health Centre, Esit Eket.
The Senator representing Akwa Ibom South Senatorial District, Senator Ekong Sampson, is expected to serve as the Guest of Honour at the event.

The ceremony will be broadcast live by the Akwa Ibom Broadcasting Corporation (AKBC), alongside participating radio stations, including Inspiration FM, Comfort FM, Tangsio FM and Atlantic FM, allowing residents across the state and beyond to follow the event.

The project is one of the infrastructure interventions being undertaken by the Governor Eno administration to strengthen public services and improve the quality of life of citizens.
