Gov. Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom, on Monday inaugurated the $45 million International market (Urua Nka) in Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.

Emmanuel, at the inauguration of the project in Eket, said that the market was one of its campaign promises made in 2015 to the people of the area.

“These are some of my campaign promises when I came on board in 2015, to build an international market and attract foreign investment to the state.

Emmanuel, represented by Mr Gabriel Ukpe, Special Adviser to the Governor on Foreign Direct Investment, said the market would be built on Public Private Partnership (PPP), investment.

The governor promised to create enabling environment for project to thrive in the state.

“Out of the 52 countries in Africa, they came to Nigeria; out of the 36 state in Nigeria, they came to Akwa Ibom; out of the 31 local governments in Akwa Ibom, they settled in Eket,” Emmanuel said.

He assured the people that before the expiration of his tenure in 2023, Eket would become the` little London’ in Akwa Ibom.

“This is just the first investment that will come to Eket, a lot more projects will be done in Eket Senatorial Districts,” he said

The Governor reassured that he would commission the first phase of the project in the next six months.
He said that project when completed would benefit the community and provide employment opportunities to the people of Eket.

Emmanuel thanked Yiwu international Trade City of Nigeria and its partners for having faith in the government and people of the state.

In his remarks, Mr Miao Jingbao, Managing Director of Yiwu International Trade City of Nigeria, said the project consists of first phase and second phases.

He explained that the first phase of the project would be completed in the next six months.

“The project when completed, it will be number one in Akwa Ibom and Nigeria,” Jingbao said.

He said that the company would continue to collaborate with the state government to bring more projects to the state.

Jingbao said the investment would gulp 45 million U. S. dollars, adding that the first phase of the project would have 3,000 shops.

“The building will have ground floor, first floor and second floor.”

He said that the project when completed would provide employment opportunities for 10,000 youths and women in the area.

He said the community would benefit from the project and would improve the living standard of the people in the area.

He explained that the company had already completed two projects in Eket, namely timber and the temporary markets site in the area

deomelo:
You double ID jokers are corny and poor at trolling and deception, just like the disgraced OP with zero credibility.


It's OK to commend politicians or governors, but you do so by showing exactly what they've achieved in office.

Where are the programs and policies?

Where the projects and infrastructures commissioned?

Nothing, all you jokers do is bore us with internet junk rubbish and zero substance. just imagine the richest state in Nigeria with little or nothing to show on top of N173 billion debt.

I can show you commissioned infrastructures from poorer states to fill many NL pages, but you can not fill 1/2 of 1 single page on NL with the mediocre and substandard rubbish commissioned in akwa ibom, even with akpabio's 5 projects.

Wike is Mr Project but Udom is Mr Industrialisation

Akwa Ibom is synonymous with good news since Udom became Governor. This transparency is a good one and will set good precedent. Nigeria must be great again

I think the victims should petition EFCC and Police to get justice

They should keep exposing him

ibibiofirstlady:
This criminal fraudster again? After being made by Akpabio he turn out to betray him simply because Udom did not give him appointment.

I heard APC has given him money

Wonders shall not end. See the crook that is calling himself leader.

Nigerians can see that Udom has done well even in Agriculture. Akwa Ibom is no longer civil servant state

This FyRep is one of the only few working pet projects across the country.

RE: FERTILIZER BLENDING SCAM: THE LATEST CHAPTER IN AKWA IBOM FAKE INDUSTRIALIZATION PROGRAMME

Written by PDP National Defence Team

We read in awe a piece credited to a certain Elder Sylvester Inyang titled "FERTILIZER BLENDING SCAM: THE LATEST CHAPTER IN AKWA IBOM FAKE INDUSTRIALISATION PROGRAMME" and published on The Nation Newspaper. In the said piece, Elder Inyang did not spare words in lashing at the giant stride of Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom state in his industrialisation drive and specifically the 400,000 per year fertilizer blending plant.

We are appalled that a so-called elder that is expected to be driven by his conscience in his public conduct has taken to dance unclad in shame, telling outright lies and brandishing falsehood shamelessly without any fear of God.

When Greenwell Technology, the partner firm in the fertilizer blending factory got approval from the office of the National Security Adviser, we predicted that some elements that never wished Akwa Ibom state good will always devise means to demarket the government and people of Akwa Ibom state and personality of Udom Emmanuel.

Is elder Inyang saying that the National Security Adviser, who after due scrutiny granted Greenwell Technology license, doesn't know the difference between a fertilizer blending plant and bagging/packaging firm? Is elder Inyang saying that the Executive Secretary of Fertilizer Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria, Alhaji Rabiu Kwa, acted in ignorance to confirm the status of the Fertilizer blending plant?

It is a fact that the Udom administration has taken upon itself to turn Akwa Ibom state into an industrialisation hub and have so far established plants and factories which include Syringe factory, pencil and toothpick factory, paint factory, Electric Metering factory and several other factories that has made Akwa Ibom state the fastest growing industrial state in the whole federation. Not forgetting that AkwaIbom State is second to Lagos in terms of Attracting Foreign direct investment in the last three years.

Is Elder Inyang aware that the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, on inauguration of the Syringe Industry confessed that Governor Udom Emmanuel is one of the most cleverest and intelligent person he has met?

We are glad that elder Inyang acknowledged the report of National Bureau of Statistics that Akwa Ibom is the second state in Nigeria in terms of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) after Lagos, but does elder Iyang think that such rating comes via fluke? Or does he think the so called investment was done in space? Elder Inyang should ask why the title "Mr Industrialization" was given to Governor Udom by Nigerians within and outside Akwa Ibom state.

The era where Akwa Ibomites were known for being domestic helps and restaurant sales girls in big cities is long over. Akwa Ibom is back on track, thanks to the industrialisation drive of Deacon Udom Emmanuel.

We therefore advice that elder Inyang to drop the title "elder" from his name and adopt "Mr" as such a dignified title is not worthy of a man who is not ashamed to take to spreading falsehood and propaganda.

We once again state our loyalty to the people of Akwa Ibom state and the government of Udom Emmanuel for the great feat achieved by the administration even with the meagre resources available to the state.



Signed
National Secretary,
PDP National Defence Team

I don't care about the OP, I only care about Udom and Akwa Ibom state.

TonyeBarcanista:
The present government is too analogue to replicate it... Hopefully when PDP take charge at the federal level.

pls don't get it twisted. I am for Governor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom state but not interested in PDP/APC in federal.

But I agree that Buhari is analog

To be candid, the e-government mode of Udom Emmanuel has made governance accessible to the common man and young people. I pray it be replicated in Nigeria...

TSOM:
Power supply has improved. Daily power supply averaging at 12 hours in areas connected to the power grid is probably the highest in the country. Some areas even get uninterrupted electric power supply for days at length, which is praiseworthy.

Road infrastructures have continued towing the path of the Akpabio vision. He gets a pass mark for that too.

Still he needs to hasten his industrialization strides. There are several companies which need to be revived. ALSCON is one of such.
Companies in Itu whose machineries are in disrepair need urgent attention.

And he needs to tone down his bickering with Nsima Ekere, the NDDC Chairman. Both are doing well for the state and shouldn't hinder the other from playing his part to further develop her.

You are right!

Udom has done excellently well and if you asked me, his strides in industrialisation set him apart from Akpabio

The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanual on Tuesday revealed that the Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) of his state is second to Lagos state among other states of the federation.

The Governor stated this in Lagos during an interactive session with journalists, noted that his administration has succeeded in boosting the economic prosperity of the state to compete with other economies like Lagos rated as the fifth largest economy in Africa.

He explained that presently in Nigeria, Akwa Ibom State is leading the train of state governors who are bold enough and are armed with the economic and intellectual wizardry to woo and convince foreign investors to partner state governments to invest in their states, especially during biting recession period.

Emmanuel said, “One interesting thing to note is not exploring Public Private Partnership (PPP) only for the purpose of basic infrastructural development, but to draft and propose viable business and industrial ventures loaded with benefits to the two parties, chief of which is employment generation for the state.

“For example, many have continued to wonder about the miracle behind Governor Udom Emmanuel’s government’s ability to create jobs and economic prosperity through the establishment and operation of one revamped and five brand new manufacturing industries in Akwa Ibom state within three years, even at a period of seemingly unfavourable economic climate in the country.’’

The Governor said that many Nigerians are still amazed about the syringe manufacturing company, the electric meter manufacturing company, the toothpick and pencil manufacturing factory and the Akwa Prime Poultry and Hatchery Industries, all brand new business ventures conceived, built, commissioned and producing less than three years of Gov. Udom Emmanuel’s tenure.

The governor said he decided to promote economic development through participatory, coherent and coordinated economic policies.

‘’This, of course, has been the quality that stands the state and its governor out in good stead and sets him apart from his contemporaries. It is also the reason Akwa Ibom people are reaping hugely from his investment drive.’’

Emmanuel added that, ‘’His government has pursued this with vigour and achieved the licensing of the upgraded Ibom Power from 190mw to 685mw. The import of this is that with the phase two of the Ibom power plant project hitting 685mw, the state government’s industrialisation policy is backed with adequate provision of power.

‘’Taking it together, the implication is that the Ikot Abasi axis of the state is open for industrial and agro parks with capacity to generate, and deliver to the people, up to 5,000 jobs.’’
