The Akwa Ibom state governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring a peaceful and seamless transition to the incoming administration.
Emmanuel stated this Friday when it took delivery of the report of the Transition/Handing-over Notes Drafting Committee during an enlarged State Executive Council Meeting.
The governor, who presided over the meeting at the Government House, Uyo, pledged continued support to the in-coming administration for its smooth running of the state.
He said, “It is going to be a very peaceful, seamless transition. That’s why our transition report is early enough so that they can understudy it and the committee he is going to set up can advise him accordingly on how to go about its implementation.
“We owe the in-coming administration all the support and all the explanations to help them succeed.”
Governor Emmanuel, who described the committee report as “detailed and accurate,” commended the members for their due diligence and timeliness in drafting and delivering the report.
He thanked the relevant ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) for ensuring transparency and unrestricted access to information on government dealings during the compilation.
He gave the assurance that no grey areas would be left on the government’s spending during his tenure and sued for maximum cooperation and support from civil servants and public office holders for the in-coming administration.
Speaking earlier, while presenting the report, the chairman of the Committee, Mrs. Ekerebong Umoh, thanked the governor and his team for finding her and her team worthy to serve the state “in such a capacity.”
She also appreciated the governor for allowing them the free hand to review the government’s operations in all MDAs in the state within the period.
She said the Committee was delighted to join the people of the state to extol the “indelible milestones of the out-going administration” and wished the in-coming administration “peace and availability of resources to build upon the achievements of the current administration.”
