One of the popular philanthropists from Akwa Ibom State, Eket precisely, Mr. Iniobong Idem has donated his hospitality home of twenty three (23) rooms as an isolated centre should in case, covid19 case is recorded in Eket so as to ease the stress of taking a patient to Uyo for isolation.
Mr. Idem, who is a business guru made the donation on the early hours of Monday 27th April, 2020 on his official facebook handle after observing that, no isolation centre is in Eket even as the sitting governor and the commissioner for Health are from the area. Out of sympathy and the fear that his people might die of the deadly disease, he now made available his newly built hotel as isolation centre.

“IF OUR GOVERNOR AND HIS COMMISSIONER FOR HEALTH ARE FROM EKET SENATORIAL DISTRICT, YET NOT EVEN 1 BED ISOLATION CENTRE IS IN THE DISTRICT, DOES THIS PANDEMIC RESPECT TRIBE, RELIGION OR STATUS? AM READY TO DONATE MY 23 ROOM HOTEL FREE AS AN ISOLATION CENTRE IN EKET FOR THE SAKE OF MY PEOPLE SINCE WE”VE BEEN ABANDONED BY OUR LEADERS AT THIS CRITICAL PERIOD.
TIME IS TICKING AND REAL FAST”.
