Otobong Okon Essien

Otobong Okon Essien is the Executive Chairman of Ikono Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State. Her administration has focused on grassroots service delivery, including swearing in new supervisors and sponsoring female football programs. However, her tenure has not been without controversy, as councillors have raised petitions against her over alleged financial misconduct. Despite gaps in publicly available information about her education and early background, Essien stands out as one of the women leading at the LGA level in Akwa Ibom politics.
