The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has pledged to continue to work with the media.
Speaking in a message of solidarity at the World Press Freedom Day celebration on Friday in Uyo, Governor Eno thanked the media for the robust relationship he has enjoyed since his inauguration into office.
According to the message signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Ekerete Udoh, the governor appreciated the constructive criticism of the media.
He applauded the media for the professional reportage of issues that were of public good, saying the government aligns with the theme of the celebration.
“You have bought into our ARISE vision and have consequently reflected that faith and belief in your reportage.
“We appreciate constructive criticism and your capacity to draw our attention to issues of public good, which is the core responsibility of your noble profession.
“We will continue to work with you, as we galvanize our people to Arise and shine, propelled by the ennobling spirit of unity, brotherhood, and onerous thoughts and values.
We completely align with the Sub-Theme of this year’s event ‘Navigating the Press Freedom Through Unity in Cultural Diversity,’ that is why we promote the spirit of bipartisanship in our engagements.”
