As dawn broke on October 7, 2025, the people of Nsit Atai looked back with gratitude, a year gone, a journey begun, and a story of leadership told through visible transformation and silent commitment.
When Hon. Prince Anthony Nyong took the oath of office in October 2024, he made a promise, to lead with purpose, to serve with compassion, and to redefine grassroots governance through projects that touch lives and strengthen institutions.
One year later, that promise has blossomed into tangible progress; steady, visible, and deeply felt across the Local Government Area.

From his first days in office, Hon. Nyong went to work with determination.
Graders roared, dust rose, and the once-neglected roads of Nsit Atai began to find renewal.
The grading of internal roads across communities has eased movement, boosted local trade, and reconnected people to opportunities.
At the heart of governance, the Nsit Atai Council Secretariat now wears a new look, fenced for security, renovated for efficiency, and strengthened with ongoing work on the main administrative building. The Chairman has vowed to bequeath a modernized secretariat that reflects the true status and pride of Nsit Atai.
Beyond the Secretariat, the administration has extended access to clean water through newly constructed solar-powered water facilities at the INEC office, the Nsit Division of the Nigeria Police Force, Idiaba community, and the Umo Eno Model Farm, the latter serving both the community and irrigation purposes.

On the fertile soil of Nsit Atai, the Chairman sowed a vision, one of food security and youth empowerment.
Through the Umo Eno Model Farm, acres of green now speak of diligence and innovation. Rows of cucumber, pepper, tomatoes, maize, cassava, and waterleaf rise proudly, tended by young farmers who now see agriculture not as a struggle, but as an enterprise.
To create job opportunities and encourage self-reliance, the Chairman has employed 50 Nsit Atai indigenes to work on the farm, alongside several contract staff at the Council Secretariat.
The administrationโs partnership with the Bank of Agriculture has further empowered local farmers, offering training and financial access, planting seeds not only in the soil, but in the future.

Health, they say, is wealth, and in Nsit Atai, it has become a reality.
Under Hon. Nyongโs watch, free medical outreaches brought relief to homes long burdened by illness.
More than 70 people successfully underwent appendicitis surgeries, sponsored by the Chairman in collaboration with the Helen Keller Foundation.
An ambulance has also been restored for the Primary Health Centre in Odot, ensuring timely response to emergencies.
The newly installed solar water facilities further guarantee that clean water flows where health and safety matter most.

For over a decade, some communities lived in darkness. But under this administration, the night gave way to light.
Ikot Abasi, Ndon Ikot Itie Udung, and the Council Secretariat now glow again, powered by three 500KVA transformers supplied by the council.
Today, businesses hum, children study by lamplight once more, and the quiet joy of electricity returns as a symbol of hope restored.
Other communities yet to benefit have been scheduled for the next phase of the electricity project.

Education remains a cornerstone of Hon. Nyongโs vision.
Through school fee interventions, several students in higher institutions have received support to continue their education without financial strain.
More than 4,000 school bags and learning materials have been distributed across 23 public primary schools, bringing relief to parents and encouragement to pupils.
Every book distributed is a message, that the future of Nsit Atai is bright, and it begins with educated children.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
In an age when peace is the foundation of growth, Hon. Nyong has maintained strong collaboration with security agencies to preserve harmony across the Local Government.
Regular engagements with traditional rulers, youths, and stakeholders have kept the area calm, safe, and conducive for living and investment.
As a mark of support, the administration provided a solar water facility to the Nsit Division of the Nigeria Police Force, improving the welfare of officers who help sustain that peace.

Beyond infrastructure and agriculture, Hon. Prince Anthony Nyong has rekindled the flame of sportsmanship in Nsit Atai.
At the just-concluded Akwa Ibom State Sports Festival, Nsit Atai blazed a trail of excellence, finishing third overall with 19 gold medals, a feat never before achieved in the Local Governmentโs history.
It was more than victory; it was a statement, that Nsit Ataiโs youth are gifted, disciplined, and destined for greatness when given the right support.
Today, the once-forgotten playgrounds of Nsit Atai are alive again with training, energy, and purpose.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
As he steps into his second year in office, Hon. Prince Anthony Nyong has set his sights on trade and investment, with plans to revive abandoned local markets and boost commercial activities across the area.
This, he believes, will expand economic opportunities and empower small-scale traders to thrive once again.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
As Hon. Prince Anthony Nyong marks one year of service, his resolve remains unbroken and his vision undimmed.
He speaks with quiet conviction:
"Our journey has just begun. We will not relent until every community in Nsit Atai feels the impact of good governance."
And so, the people celebrate, not just a year of service, but a story of progress;
not just a Chairman, but a leader whose footprints of transformation continue to shape the landscape of Nsit Atai.
For in every completed project, in every life touched, and in every promise kept,
the poetry of progress continues to unfold.
