5YEARS ON THE SADDLE; GOVERNOR UDOM EMMANUEL'S SIGNATURES

Having been on the Saddle of leadership of Akwa Ibom State as Governor from 2015 - 2020, Mr Udom Emmanuel has demonstrated a superlative performance in the area of Industrialization and Job Creation being one of his cardinal points.

For Udom Emmanuel however, Industrialization is key in the diversification of the Akwa Ibom Project from a solely civil service dependent state, to making Akwa Ibom an industrial hub.

This will in turn provide employment opportunities to our teaming youths through direct and indirect engagement.

Kenneth Jude, a public affairs analyst with Team Project Update gives an insight on the Africa's largest Syringe Manufacturing company - Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company located in Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State which is one of the Signatures of Mr Udom Emmanuel's 5years on the Saddle as Governor of Akwa Ibom State as thus;

A PEEP INTO THE JUBILEE SYRINGE MANUFACTURING COMPANY

The Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company located in Onna local government area of Akwa Ibom State is no doubt one of Governor Udom Emmanuel's bold imprints that lend credence to his industrialization drive.

The facility which sits on an 8000 square-meter of land is owned by a Turkey-born businessman, investor and widely traveled, Mr. Onur Kumral, who has investments in over 17 countries of the world, and having believed that Akwa Ibom has good development policies and adequate security, plus the overwhelming support provided by Governor Emmanuel's administration, he was spurred to confidently take the risk of bringing such huge investment into the country.

Inaugurated by the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo on 23rd September 2017, the number two citizen of the country lauded the foresight of Governor Emmanuel in considering such an investment at a time the nation was grappling with the economic recession. He maintained that the coming on stream of the company, with a minimum daily syringe production capacity of 1 million, would help Nigeria overcome the capital flight that saw the country’s health sector depend solely on imports.

Unrivaled, the Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company is the largest disposable syringe factory in Africa. It produces three types of disposable syringes (2ml,5ml, and 10ml), which are made with state-of-the-art technology from high-quality medical-grade raw materials. The barrels are highly transparent with tight black extended graduation which is easier to read.

Manned by smart personnel, staffers of Jubilee Syringe Factory have been properly trained to understand their roles and deliver accordingly. This, of course, is in tune with Governor Emmanuel's taste for excellence -- a core value that has driven his policy thrust from the first day the top banker took the state's top chair.

Jubilee syringes are made available in leur slip, meaning the needles can simply be pushed on. The syringes are made of polypropylene/high-density polyethylene, rubber-free, pyrogen-free, latex-free, DEHP-free, PVC-free, non-toxic. They are sterile and individually blister packed.

Jubilee Syringe Company is not just about the nice staff and topnotch equipment, its products, bristling with quality, get to customers in time. No delays. No disappointments. No stories of inefficiency and all that crap.

The company boasts of a plant that produces 350 Million syringes, making Nigeria an exporter of the syringe to Benín, Sierra Leone, Ghana, etc. In 2014, it is worth noting that Nigeria imported 90% of its syringe from India, but today the story has changed with the grand entry of Jubilee Syringe Company into the market.

Apart from profit for which every business strives to make, the Syringe Manufacturing Company has not only been able to cushion the high rate of unemployment but has succeeded in helping stabilize Nigeria's economy, while adding the much-needed value to Akwa Ibomites and Nigerians at large through training
