Gov. Eno to Form Governing Board of Akwa Ibom University of Education

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State announced that the governing board for the newly upgraded University of Education, Afaha Nsit, will be constituted in the near future.

The state House of Assembly has recently passed a bill upgrading the College of Education, Afaha Nsit, to a full‑fledged Akwa Ibom State University of Education.

Gov. Eno disclosed this during his Friday speech titled “Promises Made and Promises Fulfilled, Onward to Arise 2.0,” marking his third anniversary in office. He also revealed plans to establish three model secondary schools, each equipped with state‑of‑the‑art facilities, across the three senatorial districts.

The speech included the following excerpt: “I am pleased to announce that the Akwa Ibom College of Education, Afaha Nsit, has been fully upgraded to a University of Education. The House of Assembly recently passed a bill to that effect. In the next few weeks, we will constitute the Governing Board of the University.”

While highlighting progress on his ARISE agenda—particularly in human capital development—Gov. Eno urged citizens to continue supporting his administration as he works to fulfill his mandate.

Addressing the upcoming 2027 elections, the governor called for a politics of civility, free from name‑calling and violence, emphasizing that “no single life is worth shedding for anyone’s political ambition.”

He added, “As the political season commences, I urge our people to play politics of ideas and not one of name‑calling or character assassination. We have kept the peace in our State because no single life is worth shedding for anyone’s political ambition. Politics, as I said in my inaugural address, will come and go, but the spirit and bond of our brotherhood will remain unbroken by the temporary passion of partisan politics. Let us imbibe the spirit of genuine sportsmanship in the game of politics. Today, our political slogan is Akwa Ibom United, and as we go to the polls next year, we will remain united, secure in our belief that an injury to one is an injury to all. I came as a peacemaker, and I will leave, by the Grace of God, leave office in 2031, as a peacemaker.”
