As the Nigerian Army concludes plans to converge in Uyo, for the 2024 Chief of Army Staff Conference on Tuesday, 20th August, the State Governor, Pastor UMO ENO, has advised citizens not to panic at the unusual presence of military personnel around town during the period.
The Governor also announced that the State will take delivery of a new Airbus A220-300 aircraft, at the Victor Attah International Airport on the same day.
This will be the second of ten Airbus aircrafts ordered for the State-owned airline that will be received by Governor Eno since assumption of office.
Governor ENO made this known during Sunday service at the All Nations Christian Ministry International, Eket Local Government Area and affirmed that the aircraft’s delivery is fallout of his recent engagement with the Airbus team in Maastricht, Netherlands.
He described the selection of Akwa Ibom State for the 2024 Chief of Army Staff Conference as a gesture well appreciated.
He also reaffirmed the readiness of his administration, through the Bulk Purchase Agency, to take delivery of truck-loads of food items which would be distributed to needy citizens, noting that the intervention is also aimed at tackling the wanton increase of prices by retailers.
Reassuring every one of his commitment to serve Akwa Ibom people and to remain connected with the electorates, Governor ENO decried the recent cloning of his regular phone line by hackers and promised to restore the line.
