The Member representing Ukanafun/Oruk Anam Federal Constituency and Chairman, Public Procurement Committee, Rep. Unyime Idem has facilitated the employment of an another Akwa Ibom son into the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
The beneficiary is:
Ekemini Essien
Addressing the beneficiary, who holds a Masters of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, in his office at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, Rep. Idem handed him the letter of employment, congratulated him and charged him to be a good ambassador of Akwa Ibom state in his new workplace and exhibit passion, commitment sincerity, and other virtues as may be expected of him.
“The gesture is part of fulfilment of my promise to facilitate 1000 jobs for Akwa Ibomites into strategic Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, in 2025. I will implement this alongside my sponsorship of overseas training for 100 Akwa Ibom people, which I instituted in 2024.”
“Be passionate about your job. You can’t succeed without passion. Be committed. Be sincere. Sincere people make impact, not only in the world of work, but wherever they find themselves. Sincerity brings promotion and elevation. Above all, put God first in all you do. I am a product of God’s grace. You can be that too, in your place of work.”
“Be available. Be a good ambassador of Akwa Ibom state. Be our ears there. Give us information that will help us harness more opportunities for our people.”
“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 a few Akwa Ibomites are in managerial positions in federal MDAs,” Idem said.
Responding, the beneficiary, Ekemini Essien thanked the federal lawmaker for facilitating his employment and vowed to make him and the state proud by his lifestyle and performance in new place of work.o
