The governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, has enjoined youths in the state to give attention to self-development to have competitive edge globally.
The governor made appeal while addressing students at the University of Uyo permanent site.
Eno said, “I want to advise you to continue to engage in self-development; this is the only way you can compete globally. While it is good to build the youths, the youth too must devise ways to build themselves.”
In his seminar presentation titled, ‘Natural Resources, Governance, and Socio-economic Development of Oil Producing Communities in Akwa Ibom State,’ he recommended, among others, that there should be a constitutional framework, the political will, and sincerity of purpose to enable oil producing communities, traditional rulers, youth associations, community development associations, and individuals to be beneficiaries of derivation funds to the oil-producing states.
The governor assured the students that education remained a priority in his administration agenda.
