Rejiging Akwa Ibom economy: The Udom Emmanuel interministerial model
On
By Emmanuel Sam
When in January 2021, Governor Udom Emmanuel promised to rejig the state’s economy with a #50 billion capital to create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and empower Akwa Ibom youth through inter-ministerial direct labour jobs, many thought it was a tale by moonlight. But not only was the economy rejig with funds, but the Governor ended up pumping in a whopping #55 billion recreating a state that has become a major construction site.
That’s not all. To further show his commitment to the empowerment of the middle class and youth, the Governor also injected #1 billion for the interministerial direct labour jobs meant to empower the grassroots who form the bulk of our rural dwellers.
