The governor directed that henceforth, all appointees must obtain clearance from the Secretary to the State Government before issuing any information to the press.

Eno who spoke during the Sunday worship service held at the Uyo Archdiocesan Headquarters of the Methodist Church Nigeria, Itiam Etoi, Uyo, emphasised that only the commissioner of Information and the Chief Press Secretary to the governor are authorised to issue statements.

“No appointee of Government has a right to issue a Press Statement without clearance from the office of the Secretary to Government. There are only two people who have the right to issue press statements on behalf of the Government of Akwa Ibom State, the Commissioner for Information and the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, nobody else, please”, the governor stated.

He urged citizens of the state, especially government officials to always work towards maintaining the prevailing peace and unity in the state by discharging their responsibilities devoid of chaos and actions that could be inimical to the peace and harmony in the State

The governor clarified that by constituting a new Executive Council he was not building a war cabinet, but a delivery team to interpret the ARISE Agenda and further build bridges across the various fabrics of the State.
