AKWA IBOM STATE @ 3️⃣9️⃣: MESSAGE OF GOODWILL

On behalf of my family and the entire people of Uyo/Uruan/Nsit Atai/Ibesikpo Asutan Federal Constituency, I join millions of Akwa Ibomites in celebrating the 39th anniversary of the creation of our dear Akwa Ibom State.

I am deeply grateful to God for the gift of life and the privilege of witnessing this epoch-making occasion with my constituents and fellow Akwa Ibomites.

I can vividly recall that fateful morning 39 years ago when the announcement of the creation of Akwa Ibom State was made by the then Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida. There was jubilation everywhere, and excitement filled the air.

Looking back over the past 39 years, we can count the many blessings of God upon our land and our people. It has indeed been a remarkable journey of growth, resilience and progress.

As we celebrate this anniversary, I wish His Excellency, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, PhD, continued wisdom, strength and divine grace as he leads the State under the A.R.I.S.E. Agenda.

To all my constituents and indeed all Akwa Ibomites, I extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes on this memorable occasion.

As we celebrate 39 years of our existence as a State, let us also reflect on the journey so far and recognise that there is still much more to achieve. Together, we must continue to work towards building an even more prosperous, peaceful and united Akwa Ibom.

Congratulations to Akwa Ibom State!

Congratulations to all Akwa Ibomites!

God bless Akwa Ibom State and God bless us all.

Signed:

Hon. Mark Udo Esset, PhD
Member representing Uyo/Uruan/Nsit Atai/Ibesikpo Asutan Federal Constituency

Earlier today, I attended the obsequies of Elder Isaac James Okono, 53, at Ibakang Village, Nsit Atai LGA, conducted by Mount Zion Christ Church, Use Offot District.

Elder Okono was a respected community leader, a serial entrepreneur and, above all, a lover of God. His life was a testament to faith, service and impact.

It was deeply touching to join his family, friends and community in paying my final respects to a man whose presence will be greatly missed.

May God comfort his family and loved ones, and may his soul rest eternally in peace. 🕊️

I was delighted to receive the leadership of the Akwa Ibom State Football Association (AKSFA), led by its Chairman, Mr. Samuel Umoh, alongside Board Member, Comrade Felix Udoh, who paid me a courtesy visit on Thursday, September 17, 2026.

The visit was in recognition of my support for football development in Akwa Ibom State, particularly my contribution to the maiden ARISE Queen’s Cup, for which I donated the championship trophy and individual awards presented to outstanding players.

I was honoured to receive an award plaque and a Nigeria national team jersey from the AKSFA in appreciation of my support.

The maiden ARISE Queen’s Cup featured eight teams and provided young female footballers with a platform to showcase their talents. Jacob Esuene Queens emerged champions after defeating Regnant Queens 12–11 on penalties following a goalless draw, while Elegant Angels finished third after a 2–1 victory over Royal Princess.

I believe football is more than a game. It brings people together, promotes unity and provides young people with opportunities to discover, develop and showcase their talents.

I remain committed to supporting initiatives that empower our young people and contribute to the growth of sports in Akwa Ibom State.

I sincerely appreciate the AKSFA leadership for the visit and recognition.
