Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno has doled out N361m to 844 business owners in Etinan Federal Constituency as part of the ARISE Agenda and mobilisation of support for President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Eno has visited all the federal constituencies in the state in the past six months, giving out cash to businessmen and drumming up support for President Bola Tinubu and Akpabio respectively.
The donation comes in the form of farmers’ and traders’ grants, equipment support, MSMEs, cars, and minibuses to beneficiaries.

Speaking during the presentation in Ikot Edibon, headquarters of Nsit Ubium Local Government, at the weekend, Eno appreciated the people for the massive turnout.
Eno said, having received the Needs Documents from all the federal constituencies, he will select very critical ones for inclusion in the 2026 budget, adding that some could still be captured in the remaining part of the subsisting budget.
“The recent Impact Assessment Summit organised by this government afforded everyone the opportunity of seeing that every local government in the State has been positively affected by this administration, but where gaps were noticed, corrections would be effected,” he stated.
Responding, stakeholders of the federal constituency, through their Political Leader, Senator Effiong Bob, noted that Eno’s performance had endeared him to the people of the entire State.
“If you were not a good governor, they would not have accepted you,” Bob said.
“We are not here to speak about what you are doing, or what you have not done, or what you are about to do, because we know that you have done your best within these two years,” he added.
