During a strategic Town Square meeting in Ukanafun Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno distributed business grants, vehicles, and equipment support to over four hundred constituents in a direct effort to gauge public needs and incorporate community priorities into the 2026 state budget. Speaking to residents, Governor Eno urged the traders, farmers, and small business beneficiaries to use the resources responsibly rather than squandering them, emphasizing that his administration is dedicated to inclusive governance across all state constituencies. Beyond the economic empowerment initiative, the event served as a major political milestone, featuring project inspections like the Ukanafun General Hospital and culminating in cross-party political endorsements from local leaders, opposition figures, and community stakeholders backing the governor for a second term in 2027.
