It made the rebuttal yesterday in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Charles Udoh.“We would have ignored these logically confounding findings since the facts on the ground do not support such wild conclusions. But for the larger reading public who may be persuaded to believe the decidedly skewed report, we wish to state that this report is false and misleading.
According to the statement, Akwa Ibom under the focused and pragmatic leadership of Governor Udom Emmanuel has tackled unemployment and under-employment with messianic zeal. “So far, this policy has been achieved, leading to the establishment of 16 industries that have employed thousands of our youths. The Akwa Ibom Employment and Enterprise Scheme has ignited in our youths an entrepreneurial and ownership mindset. This has seen our youths applying their creative resources to create employment for themselves as part of our Dakkada philosophy.
