The Akwa Ibom state governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has warned that henceforth government will hold the leaders accountable for the vandalisation of public infrastructure in their various communities.

Governor Umo Eno made the disclosure  during a funeral service in honour of the deceased Special Representative to former Governor Udom Emmanuel in Lagos state, late Elder Samuel Bassey, weekend, at Government Primary School, Afaha Atai in Eket local government area.

He stated  that he will share the sentiment of the former administration as regards the improvement of facilities in public schools across the state.

Eno added that he will engage security personnel from the host communities to protect public infrastructure on the recommendations of village heads and youth leaders to allow community leaders  take full responsibility for government installations in schools and other public places. 

“Every village should rise to protect assets that government will put in their communities. That is the only way to encourage us to do more.

“We believe that fencing these schools will help protect the assets of the school. So, not only do we want to fence the school, there will be a security house and the Commissioner for Internal Security will work with the village to employ two security men.

“So, please, we will fence the school, build security house for you, engage security men and build solar panels to give you light in that place.
