In order to identify and encourage youth development enterprises and programs in the  African continent, Okongko Charity Foundation, today 3 February 2026 officially endorsed the forthcoming NANS Entrepreneurial Conference, to be organised by the office of the National Treasurer, Comrade Heritage Akan.


The Foundation gave the node when it played host to a delegation of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS in its corporate office, 118 Atiku Abubakar Way, Uyo, who were on a courtesy visit to the Foundation.


Briefing the Foundation on the plans to float the conference with the theme: 'After School, What Next', NANS national Treasurer, Comr. Heritage Akan, said it has become pertinent to educate undergraduate Nigerian Students on the hands-on skills they should have while in school, so as to become economically relevant and self employed after school.


While acknowledging the contributions of the Okongko Charity Foundation to scholarship and youth capital development, especially by way of sponsorship of over two thousand (2000) students, grants to youth and the vulnerable, the NANS Treasurer divulged that during the occasion, the Foundation's President, Dr Chris Okongko will be honoured as the “Icon of Humanitarian services and Students Empowerment” while also serving as a Guest Speaker.


Receiving the delegation at the Foundation's Conference Hall on behalf of the Pr3sident of the Foundation, the African Representative, Sir Daniel Ekanem, commended the NANS Treasurer for ”thinking outside the box towards the development of the next generation of Nigerian youths”, describing the gesture as thoughtful and introspective.


“The Okongko Charity Foundation is pleased to acknowledge the National Association of Nigerian Students, especially it's National Treasurer for towing a path that is less confrontational but conversational and thinking outside the box towards an assured future of the generation next”, Dr. Chris Okongko noted via a WhatsApp call-in. 


Highpoint of the engagement was a pledge by the foundation to honour NANS invitation and also partner in the forthcoming event.

DEFECTION: PDP IS INTACT - STATE CHAIRMAN

Speaking during the church’s 55th anniversary celebration, Akpan fired a thinly veiled shot at the Governor, stating emphatically: “The PDP in Akwa Ibom is intact.” The event, which had Governor Eno in attendance, marked the first public platform where the PDP Chairman reacted to the Governor’s exit and the defection of many PDP ward chairmen to the APC. Governor Umo Eno, however, chose not to engage directly with Akpan’s assertion. Instead, he used the moment to debunk rumours of a fractured relationship with his predecessor and political mentor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel. “My relationship with my boss, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, is intact,” the Governor declared, indi...
