What you do as a state govt is to empower your people !
This administration has come, another administration will surely come.
San Carlos group will become history with another administration.
Carlos Group should be providing technical support to locals with the aim of making Akwa Ibom State, the hub of cow farming for a specified no of years and should not be involved in same biz.
Empowering Akwa Ibom locals and generation to come is the only sustainable way of doing business in this environment.
50,000 local farmers will & can do better than San Carlos group with technical support and conducive environment provided by the State govt.
Just imagine how exciting it will be for Akwa Ibom farmers to be the preferred supplier of fresh cow meat to Shoprite and milk to Wamco etc
It will create a movement and massive employment that future administration cant stop.

I would not like to say I feel ashamed of you mentioning that what Rivers state needs is roads,what a view? And for industrialisation, you mentioned Lagos with more companies but despite that we still have the state keep attracting industries and still building roads also,as for Rivers how many high employing company exist here,I can mentioned them. The Sabmiller grand brew in oginigba,eleme petrochemical, indomie in choba,notore in onne,refinery,olam in town and ongoing Greenville oil and gas . Am not talking about SMES ,others are oil servicing company which most of there operations are coordinated from Lagos. Transamadi you mentioned most of the companies are moribund, you talk of Michelin,Rivoc,New engineering works,west Africa glass industries, just to mention few. Development of a state is far far beyond road construction Akwaibom has free education Rivers state don't have, Akwaibom create job opportunity in the civil service Rivers state don't and so many others. And what you said Rivers people want is road. be fair to us

This project is already dead, its just a matter of time.

We know the story behind most of Songhai Farms established by diff state govt in Nigeria once u have another govt in town.

- What you do as a state govt is to empower your local farmers and dwellers to embrace cow farming in their backyard
- Provide conducive environs through sensitizations and training by agric extension officers.
- Get our local cows from the North and import hybrid cow semen for artificial insemination
- Have a free artificial insemination centre for farmers
- Distribute cross breed cows to farmers at a highly subsidized rate and give them technical support
- Connect farmers directly to processors like Wamco etc
- This is the model used in Kenya since the 80s, govt has no biz importing cows.

AmTruth:
These are the real Mr Project of the South south,that despite constructing roads,still have the drive of attracting both local and foreign investors to the state. As evidence in the spring up of industries that great sustainable jobs more than what road construction does. Not like the present administration of Rivers state where there is no tangible results of both local and foreign investors attraction in the state and it claims project embarked state of mostly street roads. No single industry the govt can claim it has attracted to Rivers instead investors are seriously avoiding the state . Good work from Akwa Ibom state, keep it up

adecz:
I can assure you that when this oyibo
cattle come, bad management,
bad weather, tsetse fly & corruption will kill
them all in less than 2 years.

Different ppl have tried it & failed.

The blackman does not have the discipline
to make a success of such technical operations.

When this gov is leaving, he will steal
any surviving ones..

aylipple:
You can inspect projects without being dramatic about it or doing it for the cameras like one governor who once took a measuring tape to measure only God knows what at a drainage construction site in his state.

Kudos to Gov. Udom for his business-like approach to governance.

Meanwhile, why is road construction the measure of a government's (whether state or federal) level of performance in Nigeria? One government after the other always look to outdo each other in that regards at the expense of affordable mass housing, quality & affordable healthcare (not just 'ultra-modern' structures), job opportunities, pipe borne water & social amenities.

omocalabar:
It is obvious that road construction is a very convenient way to cover mismanagement and embezzlement. This man promised industrialization, yet he has gone back to repairing roads constructed by the previous govt...wit a man if his Calibre as governor, one would be expecting official visits from top Nigerian enterpreneur., So far it has only been pastors...Am so disappointed

buhariguy:
any governor that is doing well is APC

2sexyus:
True... They are not as standard as what Akpabio did.

Development of highways without concerned for where common citizens stays is equal to Zero. Let all of hem start to showcase massive development of common citizens residential areas.

Billyonaire:
You are a praise singer, and I am a critic and we are all doing our best to ensure the citizens reap the benefit of governance, but I do not like lies and the lies are written all of the place. What do you even mean by 1700km of roads ? Why didnt you just type 5,700km, cos it is just a paper-tiger, you can choose to write 20,000km of road, it is on paper, I do not see such pictures. And again, 35 bridges, right ? And why didnt you just write 250 bridges, any one can type anything, there are no pictures, nothing has been commissioned, no one has seen the 35 bridges, may be the bridges are on the 4th Dimension of the Physical plane that we can only see with the third eye.

I love the Governor, but he is the worst governor of that State. I bought a land at Uyo cos I heard the Governor is on a massive industrialization drive, and I came in there to prepare to build something, then I noticed there are no new constructions and I heard the guy is sectional and develops only his axis which was abandoned by previous administration, and I love him doing that, but at least the construction of the roads to his people should be commensurate with the budget and allocations of that small state. With a population of about 6 million people and the highest allocation from Abuja cows, that State is supposed to beat Lagos, Kano and Rivers in new projects, but we have praise singers like you, who are paid some token to eat eba and foo foo not telling them the truth.

Sorry if my words are painful, after all, if your state work better, na you go chop respek.

Billyonaire:
Hahahahahahaa.

If you are hired to do this, then you are not qualified. As a global citizen, I do not consider myself qualified to be a praise singer to the Gods not to mention mere mortals. I see something not right and I comment on it and it is my right to do so.

I also understand that you are from Akwa Ibom and you want to promote 'your' state. No, that is not how to promote your State, how you promote your state is accepting inputs from all, and improving on service and product delivery to the poor people of that State. There is enough money in that State to give at least 5,000 to each of the citizen every month and we are sounding as if the Governor is a savior ?

Calm down dude, I am here to roughen your feathers and I will always do that until you show me the pictures of the 35 bridges and 1700km of roads, after almost 3 years in office and still brain-storming.

Please, leave this matter and try to get VISA to travel outside the country, your brain go reset. No vex, no be insult. It is just the truth, people who stay in one location, think their 'area' is the best, until you step outside your comfort zone.

olujastro:
I'm happy my state is developing rapidly in the last 11 years, but I hope Nigeria can stop this open drainage road construction that litters everywhere. I mean this is very archaic. Are we developing in retrogression? I have yet to see a single road across Europe that has open drainage.
Is a road with sidewalks on top the drainage to much for us to do in Nigeria? We should be building for the future, not for temporary satisfaction.

poseidon12:
Good move. Other States should do same. This should end the Fulani killings. This should force the Fulani herdsmen to also go into ranching or else they will be put out of business.
After setting these ranches up, the States should privatize them so they would not be mismanaged and abandoned.

Billyonaire:
Do not get me wrong and do not take it personal. After all, if the governor performs better, it is the same people you say love him that will enjoy better.

I do not care about sentiments, the road jobs are shady, not straight. Is that the roads you guys want to drive electric cars and autonomous cars in future ? Every of those governors in that country understand that the world is on a speed lane, yet they embezzle funds and do shady jobs.

Except you are telling me the people at the grass root must always be provided with shady constructions because they are grass root, it is a crazy idea.Do not support mediocrity, except you are a mediocre yourself. Abi na him money him dey take do the work ? And do you have the right to defend a Governor against my criticism ?

Billyonaire:
Seems the Governor just woke up from slumber, a very sectional political mistake that Akpabio made, but I can understand that he thought as a great mind in the Financial Services sector, that brain translate to common-sense, but this is not the case here.

The roads are shady and narrow, the gutters are not straight, the culvets are silly-looking.

I do not think he should be given a chance at a second term. The picture of his house that I saw, made me think they man got some taste, but I was mistaken, he is a massive fraud.

Billyonaire:
This Governor does not deserve a second term.

The construction work is shady and class-less.

arinzeejikonye:
In all honesty, Udom is a silent achiever, we thank him for the Akwaibom - Arochukwu link road, more lubricant to his pivot, he sure deserves a comeback to consolidate on his achievements.

Atouke pls, how far with the International conference center, started by akpabio
