Eno noted that the facility, with a health centre and relaxation spots, will serve senior citizens, specifically those above 65 years.
He appreciated women of the state for their commitment to the sensitization/economic empowerment programme for women across the State, and extended the warm felicitations from the First Lady of Nigeria to them.
The Governor said that the State was embarking on quite some projects that require fervent prayers for God's guidance and divine speed.
Eno also said the State was building a brand new jetty in Oron, as part of efforts to restore the city's lost commercial glory.
He mentioned that some preliminary works had commenced at the Ikot Ekpene International Market, adding that the main construction work will commence soon.
The Governor also announced that the State will take delivery of two new Airbus within the year, adding that different projects were ongoing at the Victor Attah International Airport ahead of the commencement of international flights in April.
He also said the State was running a Treasury Single Account (TSA), urging all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to comply as his administration would not tolerate any default.
He stressed that the state was praying for the re-election of the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and President Bola Tinubu.
