July 27, 2023 Governor Umo Eno Creates Water Resources and Sanitation Ministry

Governor Umo Eno Creates Water Resources and Sanitation Ministry

Akwa Ibom state governor, Pastor Umo Eno says his government is set to establish a new Ministry for Water Resources and Sanitation.

Governor Eno made the announcement on Wednesday while addressing participants at Day 3 of the Akwa Ibom Dialogue for interpretation and implementation of the A.R.I.S.E. Agenda blueprint.

The Governor who decried the state exclusion in water related benefits from the central government and donor agencies, noted that the creation of a designated Ministry for Water Resources, will fully integrate the state in the United Nations Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, WASH, programme and reposition the state to implement the existing Water Law as well as tackle other water and sanitation related issues.

The creation of the Ministry for Water Resources is a timely response answer to the advocacy of a cluster of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Akwa Ibom Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Policy Cluster.

The Ibom WASH Policy Cluster have been in the fore front of pushing for the reformation of the WASH sector of the state.

It is believed that with the creation of the new ministry, important documents that are awaiting the approval of the State Executive Council, such as the WASH policy, WASH M&E framework and the WASH project roadmap, will be approved, with expectations that the state government will domesticate the Executive Order 009 by the former President Muhammadu Buhari mandating all sectors in the country to be open defecation free by 2025.

Delta State Governor to Pay N5bn Promotion Arrears to Worker in the State

Governor of Delta state, Sheriff Oborevwori has said in fulfillment of his campaign promises, he has approved the payment of promotion arrears worth five billion naira to workers in the state.

The Governor however said the promotion arrears will be paid in three tranches from August to end in October 2023.

Oborevwori spoke while addressing workers during his visit to the Prof. Chike Edozien Secretariat in Asaba, the state capital.

He therefore urged workers in the state to remain committed to their duties.

As a promise keeper, I came here for two reasons; to see how you are doing in your work places and to bring the good news that the promotion arrears you have been demanding for all these years, have been approved.

“I have come here to notify you that I have approved it, because I am governor for all of you and for all the people of Delta, as I promised you with my M.O.R.E Agenda.

“We know the money is huge; its almost five billion naira, but I promised to pay you and I have signed the memo and approved it,” he said.

Oborevwori added, “you will be paid in three tranches from next month, August to October 2023. Continue to do more and work for the interest of this state.

“I thank you very much for your support and please don’t play with your work.

“I can come here anytime without informing the Head of Service.

“Today, I decided to inform him but the next time I am coming, I won’t notify you and I will just go into one of these offices to see what they are doing.”

Earlier, the State Head of Service, Mr Reginald Bayoko, who conducted the governor round the secretariat, expressed appreciation to the governor for approving the payment of the promotion arrears and for visiting the workers.

Bayoko pledged the unalloyed commitment of the state’s workforce to the actualisation of the governor’s M.O.R.E Agenda.

The workers, who were excited by the governor’s visit, lauded Oborevwori for being the first governor to visit workers in their secretariat.

Oborevwori was accompanied by his Deputy, Monday Onyeme and other top government functionaries.
