Tinubu Mourns Pastor Patience Umo Eno’s Passing and Honors Her Legacy
President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences to Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno over the passing of his wife, Pastor Patience Umo Eno.
The First Lady passed away on Thursday at an undisclosed hospital after a brief illness.
In a statement released on Friday, President Tinubu described her death as a shocking loss, offering his sincere sympathies to the Governor, the Eno family, and the entire Akwa Ibom community during this difficult period.
The statement, signed by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, highlighted the profound impact Pastor Patience had on those around her.
President Tinubu acknowledged her remarkable contributions to the state, particularly through her ‘Golden Initiative for All’ program, which focused on uplifting the lives of women, children, and the vulnerable in society.
He praised her for her selfless dedication to service and her commitment to supporting her husband’s vision for the state.
“On behalf of the Federal Government, I extend my deepest condolences to Governor Umo Eno, his family, and the people of Akwa Ibom State as they navigate this difficult time,” the President stated.
He emphasized the irreplaceable role Pastor Patience played, not only as the First Lady of the state but also as a devoted wife and an ordained gospel minister who embodied humility, resilience, and loyalty.
President Tinubu expressed his belief that her legacy of service will continue to inspire future generations and remain a cherished part of Akwa Ibom’s history.
He urged the grieving family, friends, and relatives to find solace in the comfort of the eternal God, the source of life and strength.
“As we mourn this profound loss, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of compassion and support,” the President noted.
He expressed confidence in the resilience of the Eno family and the people of Akwa Ibom, offering them reassurance and support during this challenging time.
The passing of Pastor Patience Umo Eno has left a significant void in the hearts of those who knew her.
Her dedication to improving the lives of the less privileged and her unwavering support for her husband’s administration have left an indelible mark on the state.
The people of Akwa Ibom and beyond will remember her as a beacon of hope and kindness, whose legacy will continue to inspire for years to come.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
