Another Akwa Ibom indigene, Ettete, Itoro Uko, has received an appointment letter into a Federal Government agency – the National Commission For Mass Literacy, Adult And Non-formal Education, as Environmental Health Officer.
This opportunity is facilitated by the member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on Public Procurement, Rep. Unyime Idem.
Handing her the employment letter in Abuja, Rep. Idem, restated his vow to use his office and goodwill to facilitate employment of as many Akwa Ibom people as possible into Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
He charged Itoro to be a good ambassador of Akwa Ibom state, in her new place of work.
“It is my firm believe that in the next 10 to 15 years, we will have Akwa Ibom people as directors, permanent secretaries and others in management positions in the federal government. This way, we’ll be sure to attract federal presence, projects and programmes to Akwa Ibom state and lessen the burden on the state government.”
“We will also be able to close the quota gap where only few Akwa Ibomites are in managerial positions in federal MDAs,” Idem said.
Responding, the beneficiary, Ettete, Itoro Uko thanked the federal lawmaker for facilitating the employment for her, and vowed to make him and the state proud by her lifestyle and performance in her new place of work.
