ACROSS THE CHAPTERS: A Recap Series
13.0 — The Uyo Perspective
They say when the capital speaks, the state listens.
That saying came alive during the Uyo Chapter inauguration of the Arise With Renewed Hope Initiative
A defining feature of the inauguration tour was the distribution of the ARISE Newsletter—a publication documenting the achievements of the administration of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, alongside voting statistics and key milestones. More than an information material, it gave participants the opportunity to connect documented achievements with the realities they have witnessed across Akwa Ibom State.
Among the many moments preserved during the Uyo engagement was a familiar sight from the tour. Akparawa (Elder) Iniobong Obot, FCLM, Director of Research & Documentation of the Arise With Renewed Hope Initiative, was once again seen personally distributing the ARISE Newsletter to participants. It was a responsibility he embraced throughout the inauguration tour, helping to communicate the achievements and vision of Governor Pastor Umo Eno. In many ways, the moment reflected the servant-leadership philosophy that has become a defining feature of his administration.
By the close of the inauguration, the atmosphere had left no room for doubt. The people of Uyo reaffirmed their confidence in the leadership of His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, pledging their continued support for the ARISE vision as it gathers greater momentum toward 2027.
Providing leadership for the chapter was:
• Hon. Ime Uwah — Uyo Chapter Coordinator
