Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has urged residents against vandalising public assets.
The governor issued the warning on Thursday while commissioning a 1.3-kilometre underground concrete flood control tunnel, reconstructing a section of Atiku Abubakar Way with walkways, drainage, and solar street lights, and rebuilding 1 kilometre of Afaha Ube road projects in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State’s capital.
He asked the kids to take ownership of the projects by ensuring that facilities in their domain are completely safeguarded, and that the money spent on their construction belonged to them.
According to him:
“We cannot be destroying facilities that government spends so much money to fix. It is not my money; it is your money. It is our collective money. So if you see someone destroying government property, know that it is part of your money being destroyed. You can step forward and caution the person.”
