On this joyous occasion of your 50th Birthday, I, together with the August Born Foundation, join thousands of Akwa Ibomites in celebrating a distinguished son of the soil – Rt. Hon. Frank Archibong Udoh, Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Akwa Ibom State.
Born into the family of Late Archibong Udoh of Ikot Ibiok, Eket, you pursued your early education at Community Primary School, Rumuoamasi, Port Harcourt, and Methodist Boys High School, Oron. You later obtained a B.Sc. in Marketing and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Uyo.
From the oil and gas sector, where you served in managerial roles, to grassroots politics as Executive Chairman of Eket Local Government Area, ALGON Chairman and National Treasurer, and now as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, you have shown uncommon leadership, humility, and dedication to service.
Through the Archibong Udoh Foundation, you have become a pillar of hope – giving out scholarships, JAMB forms, tuition support, and grants to hundreds of students at home and abroad, uplifting families and shaping the future of countless youths. Your philanthropy, love for education, and passion for human capital development have earned you the affectionate title “Franko De Deliverer”.
Beyond public service, you are a devoted husband to Mrs. Bright Archibong and a loving father of three, embodying the true values of family, faith, and integrity.
As you celebrate this Golden Jubilee, may God continue to bless you with sound health, wisdom, peace, and greater accomplishments in the service of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, and humanity.
Happy 50th Birthday, Rt. Hon. Frank Archibong Udoh!
A leader. A philanthropist. A man of the people.
