The Deputy Speaker added that the national award encourages leaders in the state to continue supporting the governor’s vision for a prosperous, peaceful, and inclusive Akwa Ibom.
“As Akwa Ibom continues to grow under his leadership, we celebrate this great achievement and look forward to more successes that will bring lasting prosperity to our state,” he said.
