Gov Eno kicks-off 3rd year in office with prayer summit
In line with the biblical instruction in Proverbs 16:3, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed” (NIV), Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has commenced a 3-day Prayer Summit to seek God’s assistance and guidance as his administration begins its third year.
The Prayer Summit, which is taking place at the International Christian Worship Center, Uyo, has as its theme: “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn,” drawn from the Bible book of Isaiah 60:3.
The 3-day inspirational spiritual interface began on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, and will last until Friday, June 13, 2025.
Giving the initial charge on the theme, a former State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Dr. Ndueso Ekwere, stressed that no nation or people will be attracted to a particular place without something spectacular happening there.
Rev. Ekwere highlighted that there is extraordinary light and brightness in Akwa Ibom State that attract kings, nations, and people for more blessings and growth.
He admonished Christians to key into the light and glory of the State for their extraordinary transformation, progress, and greatness in life.
Delivering a message on the topic “Drop the Measuring Tape,” taken from Zechariah 2:1–5, Pastor (Dr.) Mensa Otabil of the International Central Gospel Church in Accra, Ghana, prayed that God would raise a new generation of African leaders—like Governor Eno—who would truly turn around the fortunes of the continent for the better.
He admonished the Governor and Christians to drop their standard measuring lines in the State for God’s standard and the abundance of blessings to prevail beyond what any human can measure: “For I,” says the LORD, “will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst” (Zechariah 2:5).
The event, which featured sessions of praise, worship, choir renditions, song ministrations, and intercessory prayers, was graced by members of the State Executive Council, clergy, political class, dignitaries, and Christians within and outside the State.
