Directed the approval of ₦10 billion to pay part of the backlog of gratuities owed to retired civil and public servants from 2009 to 2015, and constituted a committee under the SSG to work out payment modalities.

Payments commenced in August 2024 after an audit expunged over 2,000 ghost pensioners. However, the full historical backlog was not eliminated, and the administration later sought additional borrowing to clear remaining arrears.

Ordered the immediate suspension of the Local Government Service Commission recruitment exercise following allegations of corruption, gross abuse of office, and widespread employment racketeering, and accepted the resignation of the commission chairman.

A five-man panel of inquiry was constituted to investigate the allegations and scrutinise payrolls across all 18 LGAs. The governor mandated a new transparent, merit-based recruitment process. A second suspension was ordered in April 2026 amid fresh fraud allegations.

Directed the removal of tuition-related fees in public primary and secondary schools, active monitoring of over 300 schools for standards, and the promotion of over 4,000 teachers.

School enrolment reportedly improved in previously insecure areas like Akpabuyo, and the Secondary Education Board exceeded its revenue target by 134%. However, uneven education quality and infrastructure gaps persisted across the state's 18 LGAs.

Directed the launch of 'Operation Okwok' and the provision of vehicles, logistics, and welfare support to security agencies including the Army, Police, Navy, and DSS to combat kidnapping, armed robbery, and militant activity.

The governor claimed hundreds of militants surrendered and disarmed, and that Akpabuyo LGA—once notorious for kidnapping—became peaceful with increased student enrollment at Arthur Jarvis University. Internal roads were constructed for Air Force, Police, and Civil Defence facilities. However, the NUJ continued to flag insecurity in some areas.

Directed the establishment of free healthcare services for pregnant women, children under five, and the elderly under the Health Palliative Program, alongside the appointment of a 13-member CRSHIA Governing Board to drive Universal Health Coverage.

Over 39,000 enrollees were registered under the BHCPF, two oxygen plants were commissioned, a Fistula Centre was established, and four Schools of Nursing were upgraded to Colleges of Nursing Sciences. However, UHC by 2027 remained aspirational, with most residents still outside formal health insurance coverage.
