The Executive Chairman of the Uyo Capital City Development Authority (UCCDA), Otuekong Prince Enobong Uwah, has expressed full support for the decision of the Akwa Ibom State governor, His Excellency, Dr. Udom Emmanuel, to slash the salary of all political office holders by 20 per cent.
Uwah made his stance known while responding to inquiries from journalists on the development in Uyo. He stated that, as a political appointee, he wholly welcomed the proposed salary slash as a much needed sacrifice to enable the state government stay on course in its efforts to defeat the dreaded virus.
He eulogised the governor on the acquisition of a fourth aircraft for Ibom Air fleet, explaining the move as proof of “forward-looking and progressive governance which is planning beyond the pandemic”.
He noted that the governor means well for the State and, therefore, sued for continued support and cooperation from all responsible citizens so that his vision for the state remains un-derailed.
