Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno has fulfilled his pledge to renovate the family home of Abigail Fredrick, a Nollywood make-up artist who tragically passed away on April 13 due to a boating accident that also claimed the lives of actor Junior Pope and three others.

On Friday, the governor, represented by Mr. Frank Archibong, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, presented a newly remodeled and fully furnished six-bedroom house to Abigail’s family in Ikot Udoma, Eket Local Government Area. This gesture was part of the promise made following Abigail’s untimely death.

In addition to the renovation, Governor Eno provided financial support of 1 million Naira to the family and another 1 million Naira to assist with the education of Abigail’s two younger sisters. After the incident, the governor personally visited the grieving family and offered automatic employment to Abigail’s elder sister, along with a commitment to help her siblings pursue higher education.

Archibong emphasized that the governor’s actions reflect genuine compassion and support for the family during their difficult time.

Mr. Nsikanabasi Umoekpo, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Humanitarian Services, noted that the renovation was completed about a month ago, with the governor insisting it be furnished prior to its presentation.

Mr. Frederick Edet, Abigail’s father, expressed gratitude on behalf of the family, thanking the governor for his unwavering support during their time of sorrow.
