Chairman

Hon. Nse Ntuen

Ukana Onuk in Essien Udlm LGA is his place of origin and 5th April, 1964, is his day of entry into the world. Hon. Ntuen is the Chairman of Chairmen In Akwa Ibom State.

He started his primary education at Methodist Primary School, Ukana, Essien Udim, in 1970 and completed it in 1975. Thereafter he gained admission into Independence High School, Ukana, where he had his secondary education from 1976 to 1981. He began his role as a leader very early in life as he was not only a class prefect, but also a dining hall prefect in the secondary school At present, Hon. Ntuen is studying Public Works in the Social Sciences, University of Calabar.

He also began an early working career. In 1983, he was employed as a clerical officer at the defunct Sunshine Batteries in Ukana, Essien Udim, and by 1992 had risen to the rank of Research and Development Officer of the company. That same year, he resigned to also begin an early career in politics.

In 1993, he was elected as State auditor of the erstwhile Social Democratic Party. Between 1996 and 1997 he was the Vice Chairman of Essien Udim, on non-party platform; but before this, he had served as councillor representing Ukana West Ward II.Thereafter, in December 1997, he contested for House of Assembly on the platform of Grassroots Democratic Movement (GDM) and won to represent Essien Udim State Constituency in the still-born Third Republic.

After the death of Gen. Abacha, the new Administration dismantled all political structures and his dream of exercising the mandate of his people in the House of Assembly was dashed. Not discouraged, he contested for the chairmanship of Essien Udim in 1999, when ban was lifted on politics. Though he did not win that election, yet he remained in active politics till date, because he was constantly driven by the passion to add significant value to the lives of his people and those of Nigerians at large.

His contributions are many and include the following: facilitation of opening of access road to the local government headquarters from Ukana; completion (with Chairman`s assistance) of abandoned secretariat complex of the Local Government; facilitation of the citing of a health post at Ukana West I, as a supervisor for health, a position he combined with the vice- chairmanship of the Local Government Council. He also assisted to form Ukana Football Association in 1986 and became assistant secretary of the football body.
