Responding to the sermon, Uwa, flanked by his political father, Emmanuel Enoidem SAN; Vice Chairman of Council, Hon. (Mrs) Choice Friday Akpan and other council officials, described the message as timely and impactful, noting that the monthly prayer gathering has become a critical spiritual foundation for his administration.
Shortly after the service, the council boss presented a brand new car to former Leader of Council, Hon. Joseph Jim, in appreciation of his unwavering support, loyalty, and contributions to the stability and progress of the administration since inception.
In his response, Hon. Jim expressed profound gratitude to the chairman for the unexpected gesture and pledged his continued support towards the realization of the chairmanβs developmental vision for Etim Ekpo.
