He commended the young Akwa Ibom born gospel music icon, Moses Bliss, for making the state proud, and offered prayers of blessings on all Akwa Ibom youths.
Eno assured that his government will continue to support such ventures by young talents which, he maintained, would serve as a model and inspiration to other youths, thereby adding value to the state.
Governor Eno reassured to give due attention to the components of his administration’s ARISE Agenda that are aimed at giving indigenous youths with value-adding talents a place of pride in his government and ensure they have Honour among their people.
“For me as a person, I love to see people that have talents and are ready to pay the price to develop that talent. I believe Moses Bliss has value. Look at the number of young people he has gathered tonight and the number of people he has mentored through the “SpotLite Nation.”
“I know that there are many of you looking at me right now that have value. As long as I remain governor, I’ll continue to partner with you. I’ll continue to support your talents. I’ll continue to support your creativity and ensure we take Akwa Ibom to the rest of the world
“Don’t worry, the next time we appoint a Commissioner for Youths, he must be under 40 years so that the Commissioner for Youths will be able to help us with all these youths,” the governor stated.
He spoke of plans to partner with the organizers of the event in collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA in the state to host what he called “JESUS PARTY” with a view to redirecting the minds of the Youths and taking them off drugs.
Speaking before his performance, the Star artiste, Moses Uyoh Enang, stage named, Moses Bliss, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Governor Umo Eno, the government and people of Akwa Ibom State for according him a grand homecoming.
Bliss accompanied by his wife, Marie Wiseborn expressed his delight to be an Akwa Ibom son and pledged to continuously be proud of his root and make Akwa Ibom State proud through his music ministry.
In a brief exhortation at the event on the theme “Home Coming,” Pastor Isaac Oyedepo of Isaac Oyedepo Evangelistic Ministries, reading from Luke 15:11-24, cited the scriptural homecoming feast was not about the people already in the house, but about the son that was lost but returned to the father.
He said so is the homecoming of Moses Bliss about youths willing to find their way back to God.
, This, he explained, would begin with realizing their separation from the family of God and returning to Him, saying then will He forgive their sins, be their father indeed and there will be a homecoming feast in Heaven.
