Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has reacted to concerns about the remuneration his political aides receive, stating that none of his Personal Assistants (PAs) earn less than one million naira monthly.
Speaking during a Town Square Meeting with the people of Ikono and Ini Federal Constituency at Ibiaku Ntok Okpo, Governor Eno expressed displeasure over comments by some aides complaining about their earnings.
The Governor praised his Personal Assistant on Protocol, Blessed Essien, for using part of his remuneration to fund a water borehole project for his community.
As a reward, the Governor announced Essien’s elevation to the position of Special Assistant (SA) on Public Works.

Comparing Essien’s action to other appointees, Governor Eno said, “I received a brochure about a PA who used part of his earnings to construct and reticulate a borehole in his village. That’s commendable. But others with similar opportunities are not engaging their communities meaningfully.”
