Friends, admirers, political associates and well-wishers of the immediate past Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government, Mr. Umana Okon Umana, will today, 20th August, 2014 converge on the prestigious Udo Udoma House (Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio Secretariat) located along Udo Udoma Avenue, Uyo to celebrate the Nsit Ubium-born technocrat and politician as he clocks 55.

Born into a christian family in Ndiya, Nsit Ubium, 55 years ago, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Okon Umana went through the normal stages of education from primary to university where he graduated as an economist; crowning that up with an MBA.

His post university career has seen him through as lecturer at School of Basic Studies, Akamkpa in Cross River State; a stint in Akwa Ibom State civil service where he rose to become Director of Budget and later Permanent Secretary. In 2003, he was appointed Hon. Commissioner for Finance under then Gov. Victor Attah, a position he held and performed beautifully until current Gov. Godswill Akpabio named him as Secretary to State Government. He left that job in July, last year.

Married to delectable Florence, UOU is expected to be joined by their four lovely children and the rest of the family at a massive three-in-event today at 10am.

The birthday celebration will be streamed live @ www.livestream.com/uou55. This is to ensure that his teeming online and sundry supporters who are not around the State don’t miss the action. Stay tuned!
