Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, has emphasized the importance of hard work and performance in public office and assured that he would be leaving the State better than he had met it.
Gov. Emmanuel said this shortly after the swearing-in of the newly appointed Clerk of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Mrs Nsikakabasi Orok held at the Exco Chambers, Government House Uyo, weekend, where he also noted that despite the economic downturn and other challenges in the country, his administration has worked hard to weather the storms.
He said: “For those serving please serve well so that we build a strong state. I want to assure you that I am leaving Akwa Ibom better than how I met it, and the next person will leave it better than I handed over to him.
“I am leaving you with a full umbrella not a torn umbrella make sure that this umbrella is not torn.
“I also urge you to serve Permanent Secretaries and Heads of the various government agencies to ensure a seamless transition to the incoming administration in the state.”
