The Akwa Ibom State's Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has said his administration would appreciates constructive criticisms that were not borne out of mischief. 

Eno said this during the commissioning of a 1.3 Kilometres underground concrete flood control tunnel, reconstructed section of Atiku Abubakar Way, with walkway, drainage, solar street lights and reconstruction of adjourning 1km Afaha Ube Itam road. 

His words, “We are committed to touching lives, we are committed to improving the standard of living of our people. We are committed to providing both the soft and hard infrastructure, but the time we are in now demand soft infrastructure. The times demand that we feed our people, it demands that we help them go back to the farm.

“The times demand that our people take advantage of all of the contracts that are providing so many jobs for our young people, and it demands that we keep being in peace to continue to attract investment to our state and be able to continue to provide jobs for our people.

“I do not know the young man that sent me that photograph on this road, but we are here courtesy of that young man. So if you notice anything in your environment, you can send it to us. We will look at it, prioritize it, handle it and try to see how we can come to your aid.

“What this shows is that all of us can collectively run this state. We try to run an open government. We try to run a government across party lines because knowledge is not only based on one person or one party. We can work together as a people.

“We accept and appreciate constructive criticism, but not those that are borne out of malice and mischief. Together all of us can be in Government, whether you are given an appointment or not”
