Governor Umo Eno has expressed satisfaction with the construction progress at the ARISE Elderly Citizens Centre in Itak, Ikono LGA, while urging young professionals to demonstrate competence as a prerequisite for empowerment.
During an inspection of the facility, the Governor commended contractor U&K Limited and the Project Delivery Advisor, Dr. Itawan James, for the quality of execution.
