…as Institute inducts Works Commissioner

The developmental trajectory of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, is being applauded and celebrated in far away Ghana.

The award was given in a special ceremony at the Conference Hall of the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Works, Udoudoma Avenue, Uyo.

The Executive Director of the Institute, Dr. Richards Kpoku-Aquarte, who is also a United Nations Peace Ambassador and Chairman of the Africa Electoral Media Initiative, Tanzania, who decorated Mr Inyangeyen observed that, Inyangeyen is highly respectable world class professional, prolific technocrat, renowned management expert, exceptional corporate trailblazer and quintessential public service administrator who has performed creditably in interpreting Governor Emmanuel’s agenda for development, especially in the area of infrastructural development.

Dr. Kpoku Aquarte disclosed that, Inyangeyen was selected for the honour following two years of intensive research on his personality and service record.

He said the Institute looks out for highly resourceful and well meaning individuals in any part of the world who have written their names in Gold and greatly distinguished themselves in their respective areas of stewardship towards nation-building and development to honour and found Inyangeyen qualified.

Receiving the award with thanks, Akpawara Ephraim Inyangeyen, who disclosed that this is the first time he would come in contact with the Institute said he was surprised that an organization in far away Ghana could take the pains to study the blueprint of Governor Emmanuel’s development agenda and thus recognize his aide with a prestigious award.
