Akwa-Ibom state governor, Umo Eno, has completed his Doctoral Degree from the University of Uyo following his project defense.
Umo Eno shared this in a post on his X handle on Wednesday.
The governor announced finalizing his Doctorate Degree in Public Administration following his successful defense of his thesis titled ““Government and Private Sector Development: A Study of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Akwa Ibom State,”- a project he described as his blueprint of his vision to strengthen SMEs in the state.
“I’m happy to share that I have successfully defended my Doctoral Degree in Public Administration in the Department of Political Science and Administration, University of Uyo! My thesis, titled “Government and Private Sector Development: A Study of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Akwa Ibom State,” is a blueprint that aligns with my vision for strengthening SMEs in the state.” Umo Eno wrote.
Meanwhile, the governor dedicated the defense to his late wife, Patience Umo Eno, who died last month.
“This accomplishment is dedicated to my late wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Patience Umo Eno, who encouraged me to pursue this academic goal. I know she is smiling down with pride.
“Thank you to the University of Uyo, my professors, and everyone who supported me on this journey!” Umo Eno added.
