Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has described the governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, as an uncommon professional, astute administrator and enthusiastic leader of inestimable value.
Okowa made the remarks on Thursday as he congratulated Udom on the occasion of his 53 years birthday.
Okowa, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Charles Aniagwu, in Asaba, praised Emmanuel’s administrative prowess and industrialisation agenda as governor.
The governor lauded the sterling and legendary contributions of Governor Emmanuel, “whose visionary and pragmatic leadership has lifted several Akwa-Ibom sons and daughters from poverty by way of job and wealth creation through the over seven industries he has attracted to the state.”
Okowa stated further: “It is heart-warming to note that you have through hard work, discipline and uncommon vision won the admiration and respect of Akwa-Ibom people and the nation at large.
“Your focus and commitment to the industrialisation and development of Akwa-Ibom State is legendary and worthy of commendation.”
“The people of Akwa-Ibom didn’t make any mistake when they overwhelmingly re-elected you for a second term in office to guarantee a brighter future ahead of them.
“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I heartily rejoice with a reputable politician, outstanding professional seasoned administrator, and my brother governor, His Excellency, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, Governor of Awka-Ibom State as he turns 53 years old today, July 11, 2019.
“It is our prayer that God will continue to protect you and grant you good health to render more services to mankind,” he said.
