Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has promised unprecedented support to visually impaired gospel sensation Chris Vic.

Eno made this known in a post on social media that he had directed his Commissioner of Lands to allocate a plot of land to build him a four-bedroom bungalow, which will be used as his studio.

He further announced a N1 million monthly stipend for as long as he remains in office.

Chris Vic gained fame after his success in the reality show, De9jaSpirit Talent Hunt.

This will be the first time an individual will get the full backing of the state in support of his craft.

“I have directed the Commissioner for Lands to allocate a plot of land in Uyo to Chris Vic, and I will sign the Certificate of Occupancy next week,” the governor wrote. “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.”

Eno framed the gesture as part of his administration’s commitment to empowering citizens with disabilities, saying Chris Vic’s story embodies resilience and faith.

“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,” he added.

Christian Victor Eshiet, popularly known as Chris Vic, shot to fame earlier this year through Season 4 of the De9jaSpirit Talent Hunt, where his powerful gospel medleys and energetic dance routines defied the limits of his visual impairment.

His performances racked up millions of views across TikTok and Facebook, including collaborations with Team Unbeatable DC and other gospel acts.

He finished as second runner-up in last month’s grand finale, earning a N3 million prize.

Governor Eno’s intervention marks one of the most high-profile state endorsements for a Nigerian talent show star, drawing attention to disability inclusion and creative industry investment in the state.
