Chidi Onyemaizu: Ayade and March 9: Waiting for the crowning of a doer
above pun is a flowery summary of Professor Ben Ayade’s almost four years trajectory in Cross River state as its democratically elected governor.
And when, after taking the reins of government in 2015, he immediately started sowing the seeds that would soon germinate and mature into what has become today, Nigeria’s first ever industrial revolution undertaken by any state, cynics wrote Ayade off as embarking on a fruitless voyage to nowhere.
Not only that the Garment factory’s products are now being exported, the factory also has created jobs for over 2,000 Cross Riverians, especially women, who are on its employ. Almost four year in the driver’s seat of Cross River’s destiny, Professor Ayade is living out Peter Strople’s postulation: “Legacy is not leaving something for people, its leaving something in people”.
There are also the cotton farms in Woda, Yala local government, Cross River state Banana plantation in Odukpani and Yellow maize farm in Obubra.
