Jnr Pope: Gov Eno visits, consoles family of late Nollywood makeup artist

Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State paid a condolence visit
to the family of the late Nollywood makeup artist, Abigail Edith Frederick, in
Ikot Udoma, Eket Local Government Area of the state.

According to a statement by Ekerete Udoh, the governor’s
Chief Press Secretary, Pastor Eno, on arrival from an official engagement in
Abuja, went straight to the deceased family’s compound to console them.

The statement noted that the governor thereafter gave
automatic employment in the Akwa Ibom State Civil Service to the surviving
elder sister of the deceased, and directed the SSA on Humanitarian Services,
Umo Ekpo, to renovate the family house and bring it to modern standards.

The governor also gave assurance of government’s assistance
to the two sisters of the deceased, who are undergraduates at the University of
Uyo and whose education was being sponsored by the late Nollywood makeup
artist.

The governor, in his remark, said: “This is deeply
unfortunate for a young girl, 24 years old, who finished her youth service just
last year and decided to pursue her passion. This is a reflection of our Arise
spirit. It shows that our young people are willing to go out there, not
begging, not waiting for handouts, but to pursue their passions.
