The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Umo Eno, is appealing to politicians to respect his work and minimize unannounced visits that disrupt his official duties.
Expressing his frustration, the governor stated that he often encounters unexpected visits from politicians within the state, which divert his attention from his responsibilities. The governor’s remarks were captured in a video posted on Facebook during a gathering.
Emphasizing the need for proper protocol, Governor Eno stated, “I will not go to anybody’s office without an appointment. I find it amusing that people would just leave their home and show up, claiming they were denied entry through the Government House gate.”
To maintain focus on his elected responsibilities, the governor announced a new visitor policy. He will only receive visitors on Thursdays and Fridays, requesting that Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays be reserved for uninterrupted work. Governor Eno urged politicians to understand the importance of allowing him the necessary time and space to fulfill his obligations effectively.
Highlighting the significance of his duties, Governor Eno stressed the need to hold meetings, address pending files promptly, and maintain efficient administration. He expressed his concern that excessive interruptions could hinder the progress of important tasks and create dissatisfaction among the public.
The governor’s plea for respect and understanding emphasizes his commitment to serving the state effectively. By minimizing disruptions and adhering to a structured visitor policy, Governor Eno aims to better manage his time and ensure the fulfillment of his elected responsibilities.
