The Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Iniobong Essien has congratulated the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State and Nigerians in general as they celebrate this year's Christmas.
In a message made available to Journalists by his spokesman, Mr. Ubong Asanga, the Environment boss urged Akwa Ibomites to keep hope alive and also appealed to them to continue to pray for the state and the country for it to overcome its current challenges.
The Commissioner’s Christmas message read, “I heartily rejoice with all Akwa Ibomites and Nigerians, particularly our Christian brothers and sisters on this year’s celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. As we celebrate this year’s Christmas, I believe that it is very appropriate for us to reflect on the love of God aptly espoused in the teachings and lifestyle of Jesus Christ. During his earthly sojourn, Jesus Christ repeatedly reminded his disciples and followers of peace that comes in the midst of trials and tribulations on earth.
“There is no better time than now in our nation’s history to pray for divine guidance to get over our current challenges. We can have peace in Nigeria if we all learn to tolerate and appreciate one another, respect constituted authority; and be our brother’s keeper in word and deed".
Dr. Essien applauded the citizenry for standing by the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel since 2015 and further assured that the government will perform even better in the coming year.
