The Akwa Ibom State government has announced plans to
begin the construction of an assembly plant to assemble luxury
cars, ambulances and fire trucks in the state.
The move, according to a statement on Friday, is part of the
efforts of the new administration to harness the various
resources in the state to achieve total industrialisation.
The Governor, Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, had on
Thursday declared open a retreat for the newly appointed
members of his cabinet which is aimed at intimating them with
the vision of the new leadership in the state.
According to the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr.
Ekerete Udoh, the retreat, which is focused on industrialisation,
will appraise ways to build on the legacies of the former
Governor of the State, Godswill Akpabio and keep the state’s
sound footing for economic development.
The statement added that the governor had declared his
commitment to leverage on the economic potential of the state
to move it to the next level.
Udoh said the retreat would also focus on how to harness the
various resources in the state to achieve total industrialisation
for the benefit of all citizens, adding that it would map out
strategies on how all the ministries can work together for the
realisation of the economic policies of the new administration.
He said to achieve this, the new governor had set up a
technical committee on agriculture and food sufficiency, a
technical committee on Ibom Deep Seaport,
“On Monday, July 13, a technical committee on Foreign Direct
Investment will be inaugurated while a ground breaking
ceremony for the construction of a plant to assemble luxury
cars, ambulances and fire trucks in Itu will also hold same
day,” he said.
The statement quoted the governor to have said recently while
setting up the committee for the deep seaport project, “Ibom
Deep Seaport is an audacious attempt to re-write the maritime
story of Akwa Ibom State. It holds the promise of an industrial
revolution of our state, creation of over 100,000 jobs as well
as the promise of a self-sustaining commercial city with oil
and gas support services.
