HAVING emerged victorious in a race
adjudged as one of the hottest governorship
contests in Nigeria’s recent history,
expectations are that Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the
victorious candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP would not circumvent
the key promises that earned him victory.
By Charles Kumolu
Ikpeazu’s determination to get down to the
business of governing the state was given by
his decision to ban his supporters and well-
wishers from courtesy calls and
congratulatory visits, on the account that he
needed time to plan for the enormity of the
task ahead.
‘’Because of the enormity of the task ahead, I
require all the time I can get to plan to
ensure that I justify the enormous confidence
you have all reposed in me. After I have been
sworn-in and after I have made appreciable
impact. I will feel worthy to accept your
congratulation and commendation visits. For
now, I call on all of you to uphold me and
those who will work with me in your prayers
for wisdom from above to take the right
steps. It is my solemn pledge that on my
watch, Abia State shall be a state you will all
be proud of,’’ he stated.
In an obvious departure from some practices
peculiar to elected public office holders in the
country, he also made known his decision
not to be addressed as “His Excellency.”
Infrastructural recovery of Aba
These decisions, it was gathered came from
the desire to stay focused on his dreams for
Abia which include, security, infrastructural
recovery of Aba, education, agriculture,
integrated structural economic
transformation, employment among others.
With a realisation that the economic survival
of the state particularly at this time of
national economic crunch, may depend on the
functionality of the commercial city of Aba, it
was also learnt that plans have been
concluded to commence the fixing of the city
immediately Ikpeazu assumes power.
Apparently, Ikpeazu wants to hit the ground
running.
He wants to promote the city’s status as a
commercial hub and upgrade the existing 14
major markets in the state up to modern
standards.
In fact, the governor-elect has not hidden his
determination to make the Aba project the
major focus of the new administration.
Ikpeazu also plans to set up an agency for
rural roads as well as Abia Marketing
Corporation that would help buy excess farm
produce as part of the initiatives to
encourage agriculture.
Relatively moderate cabinet
Okezie Ikpeazu
These, he hinted, would alongside other
measures create employment opportunities
for the teeming youths in the state.
Another aspect of the incoming Okezie
administration that seems to excite
observers, is the reported plans to cut down
the overhead cost of governance by keeping a
relatively moderate cabinet.
In this regard, the search for technocrats to
man 10 key ministries is ongoing.
On a larger scale, the economic agenda seeks
to focus on areas that would create optimal
impact with the resources available at his
disposal. It is expected that this would
deliver economic growth, gainful jobs, income
among others.
Ikpeazu also intends to place high premium
on agriculture by maximising the state’s
agricultural potentialities and focusing on
major cash and food crops.
The strength of Abia
On education, he intends creating an enabling
environment that would ensure the
restructuring of the education curricula for
primary, secondary and state-owned tertiary
institutions.
Commenting on this at a recent forum, the
incoming governor said, ‘’we believe that the
strength of Abia lies in her people. As such,
the transformation of the education sector in
Abia will involve both the public and private
institutions. We will develop an all-inclusive
master plan to drive development and
progress within the sector. This master plan
will incorporate restructuring the education
curricula for primary, secondary and state-
owned tertiary institutions to ensure our
children and youths are empowered with
sound knowledge and technical skills required
to survive and add value in the ever-evolving
labour market.’'...
