The 2nd runner‑up of the recent De9jaspirit Talent Hunt Season 4 — a contestant who is also blind — has received a major boost from the Akwa Ibom State Governor.
Governor Umo Eno announced on his Facebook page that he has directed the Commissioner for Lands to allocate a plot of land in Uyo to Chris Vic.
He also said, “I will sign the Certificate of Occupancy next week. We will also build him a four‑bedroom flat and commit ₦100 million to set up his music studio. This is separate from the cost of the land and the house.
“In addition, as long as I remain Governor, he will receive a monthly allowance of ₦1 million. Let this remind us that even in difficult moments, God is still good. Chris Vic shows us that praise is possible in every situation. I also want him, and all persons with disabilities, to know that this government cares.”
Netizens applauded the gesture of Gov Eno, some praised the move and others urged him to do more for disabled people across the state.
