On behalf of the Governing Council, Management, Staff and Students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ukana, I warmly congratulate you, the Board of Trustees, and the entire GIFA family on the second anniversary of the Patience Umo Eno Golden Initiative for All (GIFA). This milestone is a profound testament to a vision that was born out of compassion, selfless service, and an unwavering commitment to humanity.
The initiative, a noble brainchild of the former First Lady, Her Excellency, Pastor Patience Umo Eno, has continued to stand as a beacon of hope to countless lives across Akwa Ibom State. Through its far-reaching interventions in healthcare, education and welfare, GIFA has restored dignity, renewed hope and uplifted vulnerable citizens in ways that speak louder than words.
The compassionate homes spread across the state bear eloquent testimony to the depth, sincerity and sustainability of this vision. They are not just structures, but living symbols of love, care and responsibility to society, reflecting a heart that truly lived for others.
As an institution, the Federal Polytechnic, Ukana cherishes the precious memory of the departed founder and celebrates the enduring fruits of her vision. Her legacy remains a guiding light, inspiring institutions, communities and individuals to pursue service that is people-centred, impactful and enduring.
We therefore salute your leadership, resilience and dedication in sustaining this noble cause. May GIFA continue to grow in strength, relevance and reach, touching more lives, transforming more communities and deepening its legacy of compassion for generations to come. Once again, accept our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on this remarkable anniversary.
