Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reiterated his administration’s commitment to a merit-based, transparent process in the ongoing recruitment of 3,000 workers into the state civil service.
Speaking at the monthly prayer service at the Latter House Chapel, Government House, Uyo, the governor said the screening will be computer-based to ensure a level playing field for every Akwa Ibom youth who applied.
He urged other Akwa Ibomites interested in employment to visit the portal, adding that many people have secured jobs without knowing anyone.
Reflecting on the recent two-day intensive project inspection across the state, Governor Eno expressed delight at the pace of work and the large number of youths engaged at various sites.
The governor also announced that the third phase of food distribution for the vulnerable will begin on August 20, 2025, with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs publishing dates for each local government area. He called on stakeholders to get involved in the coordination within their areas and urged youths to avoid fomenting trouble during the exercise, stressing that only vulnerable citizens with food vouchers will be attended to at the distribution centres.
