Akpabio inaugurates hand-over committee

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, said his administration has set up a hand-over committee to compile notes for the incoming administration in the state.

Akpabio, who stated this on Sunday at Methodist Church Nigeria, Ikot Ebido Oku, Uyo, during the state House of Assembly thanksgiving service marking the end of the third legislative session and the beginning of the fourth legislative session of the fifth Assembly. The committee is headed by the Head of Civil Service, Cecilia Udoessien.

Akpabio blamed his inability to execute more projects in the state on paucity of funds, noting that “It is not everybody that can see what is happening in the state.

“We don’t have money to do everything. There are some communities we have not yet touched. It is not that we don’t want to touch those communities, but we don’t have the money.

“We have done feasibility studies. We have gone round the state and we know the problems of every community in the state. We don’t have the money to solve the entire problems at once”.

He attributed the success of his administration to the cooperation with the state legislature, remarking that, “All the credit for the achievements of this administration belongs to God Almighty and the success of my administration is due to the cooperation of the state House of Assembly.

“The proper implementation of the budget from the House has brought about the developmental infrastructure in the state, which has made every Akwa Ibom person proud to belong to the state.

“I must also thank members of the House for their cooperation with the people of the state through their legislative duties, which has in turn brought peace to the state”, he said.

The governor thanked God for protecting and keeping all members of the Assembly alive and thanked them for coming to church to thank and honour God, hoping that they have achieved their heart desires from God.
