The Chief of Staff to Akwa Ibom State Governor, Chief Ephraim Inyang, has said that Governor Udom Emmanuel is preparing the state for a private sector-driven economy.
He cited the governor’s efforts towards attracting investors, establishing industries and diversifying the economy.
According to him, with some industries already built and others undergoing technical or structural procedures, Governor Emmanuel would have transformed the economy of the state from a dependent to a manufacturing and viable economy.Though there were challenges because of the non-industrial background and orientation of the state, the governor has been able to revitilise the economy more than what all his predecessors were able to so since the state was created.
“Our state, before 2015, was basically waiting to receive money from Abuja at the end of every month. The private sector was dead before Emmanuel arrived; but today, I can say clearly that this has changed. Laying foundation for a new thing is never easy; it is always the most difficult part of any project. So, the governor came to lay a solid foundation for industrialisation. Although it was slow at the beginning,” he said.
