The Governor declared the visibly displayed A.R.I.S.E. Agenda insignia as an approved toga for government functionaries and on government souvenirs as indication of commitment to the vision. 

Consequently, the Governor announced the appointment of Sir Raphael Edem as his Senior Special Assistant on Brand Management and Marketing as well as Barrister Morgan Ekanem as his Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties

He also announced that a Project Monitoring and Technical Review Committee will be constituted to ensure that all government contracts are processed through it to ensure compliance with due process and accountability and cautioned the Committee members  against any form of compromise. 

In her opening remarks, the Deputy Governor and Planning Committee Chairman for Ibom Dialogue, Dr. Akon Eyakenyi, commended the Governor on the ARISE Agenda which, she said will serve as a guide for the development of the state. 

The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Udeme Otong, on his part, commended Governor Eno's ingenuity in the crafting of the ARISE Agenda, describing him as not just a visionary leader but one poised to implement his vision and  therefore pledged the cooperation of the State Legislature towards the achievement of the ARISE Agenda.

Unveiling the blueprint, the Economic Adviser to the Governor, Dr. Uduak Inam, said the agenda was borne out of the need to consolidate on the performance of past administrations.

Dr. Inam described the Agenda as the flagship that would drive development effort in the present administration.
