Akwa Ibom, Cross River Maintains Harmony, No Dispute Over 76 Oil Wells – Umo Eno

Akwa Ibom, Cross River maintains harmony, no dispute over 76 oil wells – Umo Eno. Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reaffirmed that the state has no dispute with Cross River State over the ownership of 76 oil wells.

Speaking today during the monthly prayer meeting at the Government House Chapel, he stated that the Supreme Court had twice ruled in favor of Akwa Ibom, declaring Cross River a non-littoral State. He urged citizens not to engage in a matter that has been legally settled.

Governor Eno also emphasized the importance of respecting and honouring past and present leaders for their contributions to the State’s development.

He condemned external influences attempting to discredit Akwa Ibom leaders without factual evidence. “It is difficult to understand how individuals who are not from Akwa Ibom seek to run down our leaders on on baseless allegations.

As Governor, I can confidently say that I have seen no evidence supporting such false accusations against our past leaders.”Pastor Eno said.

The Governor encouraged citizens to continue praying for the state, the President, and the nation, emphasizing the need for divine guidance in governance.

He also urged contractors and business owners to take advantage of the newly launched state procurement portal, which provides transparent access to government contracts. He announced that over 400 jobs are currently available through the portal and encouraged qualified individuals to register.

Said he “We have several projects, including the construction of the Aviation Village, Commissioners’ Quarters, Legislators’ Quarters, and Judges’ Quarters. We will not award multiple projects to one person. These contracts will be given to qualified Akwa Ibom people who are duly registered on the portal.”

Governor Eno reiterated his commitment to fairness in contract awards, stressing that opportunities should be based on merit rather than personal connections.

“We must build a state where people can bid for and secure government jobs without knowing anyone in power.” Gov Eno stated.

He also discouraged idleness, urging citizens to embrace hard work and self-sufficiency.
