The commissioning is part of activities lined up under the state government’s “39-30 Projects Days” initiative, which highlights key projects being delivered across the state by the Eno administration. The Esit Eket health facility is scheduled as Day 8 of the initiative.
The new Model Primary Health Centre is designed to improve access to quality, affordable and efficient healthcare services for residents of Esit Eket and neighbouring communities.

The facility is expected to provide residents with improved access to essential primary healthcare services while reducing the challenges associated with travelling long distances to access basic medical attention.

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.
