Good morning from my end.

Earlier today, I presented a letter of employment, which I facilitated, to another Akwa Ibomite, Comfort Friday Etuk, who has been gainfully employed into the Nigerian Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC).

Recall that few weeks ago, I presented letters of employment from other strategic Federal Government agencies, which I facilitated, to some persons of Akwa Ibom origin, as part of fulfillment of my target to facilitate employment for 1000 Akwa Ibomites into strategic Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs in 2025.

I am meeting this job target alongside my sponsorship of overseas training for 100 Akwa Ibom people, which I instituted in 2024.

Presenting the beneficiary, Comfort Etuk, with her letter of employment in my office at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, I congratulated her on her new job, and charged her to be a good ambassador of Akwa Ibom state and exhibit the virtues of passion, commitment, sincerity and other qualities as may be required of her.

Above all, I urged her to put God first in all she does, using myself as an example of one who's been a product of God's grace.

It is my firm belief that in the next 10 to 15 years, we will have Akwa Ibomites as directors, permanent secretaries, and others in top management positions in the federal government. This way, we'll be able to attract federal presence, such as projects and programmes, to Akwa Ibom state and lessen the burden on the state government.

We will also be able to close the quota gap where only few Akwa Ibomites are in managerial positions in federal MDAs.

Responding, Comfort Friday Etuk expressed gratitude to me for facilitating her employment and vowed to make me and the state proud by her lifestyle and performance in her new place of work.

Don’t just scroll past without answering… Is God important in your life?

What is the meaning of life? Is it money, status, or temporary pleasure? Many spend their whole lives searching, yet still feel empty. A truly valuable life is not built on worldly glory, but on faith and love for God.

Those who love God live in the light, no longer bound by darkness. Their lives are full of meaning because they live for God's kingdom. Such people are His witnesses, His blessed ones, and they will inherit His promises.

God says, ‘I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.’ (John 8:12)

God says, ‘The reason only those who truly love God have the most value and meaning in their lives, the reason only they truly believe in God, is that these people are able to live in God’s light and are able to live for God’s work and management. It is because they do not live in darkness, but live in the light; they do not live meaningless lives, but lives that have been blessed by God. Only those who love God are able to testify of God, only they are God’s witnesses, only they are blessed by God, and only they are able to receive God’s promises. '

If you would like to be a person who truly loves God, write ‘Amen’.
