Uyo, Akwa Ibom - Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has announced plans to construct a three-bedroom home for the parents of a female NYSC member.

This decision follows a heartfelt video moment in which the NYSC member expressed gratitude to her father for his sacrifices in providing her education despite their modest living conditions in a thatched house.

The video moved Governor Eno, who has pledged support to honour the family's dedication and commitment to education.

The governor's statement was captured in a video shared on the Akwa Ibom State Government's X page last Friday.

The NYSC member and her parents hail from Cross River State, which borders Akwa Ibom State.

In the video, Mr Eno mentioned that a delegation from the Akwa Ibom State Government visited the family in Cross River to ascertain their identity and initiate the construction of a house for them.

The Governor said:

“The moral lesson behind what that young woman did is for her to go back to that (thatch) house and make her father proud.”
