BEAUTIFUL NONSENSE!

Proposed investment of $45,000,000 x 360 = N16,200,000,000.
Population of Akwa Ibom State: 5.451m (2016).
Combined Population of Eket Senatorial District: 364,489
Per capita of this investment: N44,445.78

Note: Eket Senatorial Zone Include the whole of: Okon, Nsit Ubium,Idua, Afaha Eket and Esit Eket LGAs.

If the government invest this amount 'carefully' into business development and commercial expansion of the state, it would be a welcome idea as it would have a trickle down effect on the rest of the population and generations unborn, but would this amount truly be used for the proposed project? And if yes, to build just a market place? I doubt if this is justifiable of such a huge sum!

I understand that Eket is the second largest city in Akwa Ibom State, but the Eket metropol is sitting on a mere 215 km² and has less viability for a market of this scale (if at all it will be done as promised). The only major road trailing this mini city is the Oron-Ikot Abasi road!

“This is just the first investment that will come to Eket, a lot more projects will be done in Eket Senatorial Districts,” he said... He assured the people that before the expiration of his tenure in 2023, Eket would become the` little London’ in Akwa Ibom.

^^
Nonsense!

The attempt to justify this project as the only investment to come to Eket undermines the efficiency lens of analyzing where a project is best suited. Makes me believe that this move is more political, than it is growth oriented. Why not make Eket a "Big Eket" or good and viable enough before attempting to compare it to "little London"? Our politicians keep deceiving their people!

Governance in Nigeria is bereaved of professionalism and management. I served in Akwa Ibom state and I can say that the average Akwa Ibomite is hardworking but they lack opportunities. The last administration did a lot in area of infrastructural development (roads, hospital, entertainment, and I would think partly education - I personally used the e-Libry a few times and its a good project if maintained). A new useful and reasonable government in that state should take to industrialization, encourage external investment and guarantee a mix of Nigerians within the state. For now Akwa Ibomites live in Akwa Ibom, so remove the name "International" from the proposed market.

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

^^

How many Akwa Ibomites are ready to afford such renting considering the foreseeable low patronage due to location and the population? Do an open market for your people first, and make sure they are useful - then expand when need arise. Don't go climbing to the apex when its undesirable. That way you can split the money between the three zones - Eket, Uyo and Oron (or wherever else need be). Let each of these zones have a market that serve local needs first!

Channel resources to providing SME funding for many of the youths with handwork, build a system that is self-funded and can provide the basic local needs of the people. Get the FG to have a working access road between Akwa Ibom and Abia, Cross River and Rivers; not a road that is seasonal - whoever have taken the connecting roads in rainy season will understand my point. Invest in Marine, a lot of the people in Akwa Ibom make their living from the water bodies in Oron, Ikot Ubiam, Ibiono, etc (I hope I got the spellings right?).

Over all, developmental stride and PPP are welcome, if genuinely executed. I am not commenting to fault a government, I have no business there apart from being a concerned Nigerian!

this project is a white elephant project. ive seen the site, they only drove the market women away to another location and barricaded the proposed area with boards. shoping mall in that area is a bad idea because of lack of good road network. if they plan to expand the road, it will mean lot of petty traders will have to relocate.

Why people so much like big names? INTERNATIONAL, ULTRA MODERN, blah blah blah.

What makes a market INTERNATIONAL? Won't it be a marketplace where farmers and traders trade goods? How many traders will come from neighboring countries, to call it INTERNATIONAL?

Likewise, when you name something ULTRA MODERN, what is modern, not talking of ULTRA modern, in it? Markets without proper sewage, shopping malls without proper toilets, no steady (and by steady I mean 24/7/365) power supply, WTF is modern in it, except the name?!?!

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
