Akwa Ibom state governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel,
has said that his administration will not tolerate poor
performance from his commissioners and special
advisers.
Emmanuel gave the warning on Monday in Uyo at
the swearing-in ceremony of commissioners and
special advisers to form the new state executive
council.
Twenty commissioners and two special advisers
were sworn in for the different Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the state.
The governor urged the new members of the state
executive council to eschew ethnicity, favouritism
and parochial sentiment in the discharge of duties in
the state.
He advised the cabinet members to aim high in
terms of meeting the demand of their various MDAs.
“You have joined the crew at a very crucial point of
the journey. The expectations are high, and you
cannot afford to fail the people.
“We expect you to draw from your fierce analytic
intellect to boost our programmes and policies.
“We want results not excuses, like Benjamin
Franklin said he who is good at giving excuses is
seldom good for anything else. Do not fail to deliver
accordingly,” Emmanuel appealed.
He charged the appointees to read the policy thrust
of his administration and use them as guide in daily
running of their offices.
“Our commitment to industrialisation is irrevocable.
We know that through industrialisation, we shall
rewrite the Akwa Ibom story in employment and
wealth creation,” Emmanuel said.
He noted that industrialisation remained the only
vehicle to drive the economy to the highest level of
economic ascendancy.
The governor said that the state was poised to copy
the Chinese example in its pursuit of
industrialisation.
“China’s achievements provide an archetypal
example for us. It shall be our paradigm of
development that shall open up our land to endless
possibilities.
“I expect you to justify your selection into the crack
team of this administration. Continue to shine the
beacon of competence and seize the many bright
opportunities before us.
“We may have begun this industrial race behind
others but with your sheer passion and
commitment, we can hit the finish line in time,”
Emmanuel said.
He urged the commissioners and the special
advisers to put in their best to create opportunities
for better life for all Akwa Ibom persons.
The governor expressed the hope that with
commitment and visionary leadership, the state had
the potential to join the league of industrialised
states in Nigeria.
Some of the commissioners sworn in were Aniekan
Umanah, Godwin Ntigudeh, Barrister Emmanuel
Eniodem, Ewwem Nwoke, Enobong Ewah and Etido
Nyang, who served in the administration of Godswill
Akpabio, Emmanuel’s predecessor.
Others are Aniekan Akpan, Ekong Samson Elizabeth
Obot, Glory Edet, Emphrain Nyang and Martin
Emphraim.

hmmm. well. It's not their fault. tinubu had an igbo man is his cabinet. fashola made an igbo man commissioner of finance. New lagos governor appointed another igbo man at a strategic agency. its not igbo man fault. I think they were found worthy for the job.

best governor for my state

he is takin industrialisation very serious

he toured all the closed companies wnd setup committee for the seaport ..and his oiland gas free trade zone project making sense

he has ordered CCECC back to work on all the major dual carriage ways ..

cut down akpabio extravagance
