The wife of Akwa Ibom State governor, Mrs. Martha Udom Emmanuel has commended the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) Spouses Forum for initiating and completing a Solar Borehole Project at the Primary Health Center, Ikot Ayan Ikono, Uyo Local Government Area.
Mrs. Emmanuel, who commissioned the project, gave the commendation while playing host to the members of the Forum at the state banquet organized in their honour at Government House.
The Governor’s wife, who described engineering as a great profession, also applauded NSE Spouses Forum for their complementary role in harnessing and promoting family values, adding that it was in-line with the mission of her pet-project, Family Empowerment and Youth Reorientation Programme, (FEYReP).
She said “It is common knowledge and accepted fact the world over including Akwa Ibom State that Engineers and their Spouses play a key and crucial role in infrastructural development of any country. Here in Akwa Ibom state, this assertion is manifestly seen at the Primary Health Center, Ikot Ayan Ikono, Uyo Local Government Area where a Solar Borehole Project was initiated and completed by the Nigerian Society of Engineers Spouses Forum, this is indeed a welcome development.”
While noting that the laudable project of the organization is an eloquent testimony of the sound support given to them by their spouses, Mrs. Emmanuel called on spouses in other professions to emulate the wonderful gesture of the NSE Spouses.
The Chairperson of the State chapter of the Forum, Mrs. Abasiemek Udoikpong while welcoming her colleagues to the state, informed the governor’s wife that the Forum creates opportunities for spouses to socialize, interact and learn more about the profession and also serve as a window for tourism and relaxation.
Speaking earlier at the commissioning, the National President of the group, Dame Nkechi Anyagi in her address, thanked the governor’s wife for hosting the group and also appreciated her for honouring the group’s invitation to commission the borehole project.
She said the project was initiated as part of the social responsibility of the group to give back to the society, adding that the hallmark of the organization is providing complementary role of supporting their husbands in building a virile nation.
Also speaking, the Paramount Ruler of Uyo Local Government Area, His Royal Highness Edidem Silas Bassey appreciated the NSE Spouses Forum for locating the area to construct the borehole, saying the Health Care Center had been in need of water for such a long time. He also thanked the governor’s wife for coming to the area to commission the project, praying that God will replenish their labour of love.
