Dr. Udo in a letter sent to the Legislature said, "this is in recognition of the huge support and cooperation we have received from the leader of the State, His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel and his exceptional love for the people of Uyo which is evident in major people-oriented projects and appointments of many of our illustrious indigenes into various offices in the Government of Akwa Ibom State."


The Chairman, who later met with the lawmakers, appreciated them for their support so far and pledged to make their welfare a priority as he urged them to work harmoniously to bring continuity to this season of good governance at the grassroot.
