Akwa Ibom’s five years with Udom Emmanuel (1)

When Akwa Ibom people welcomed their fourth civilian governor, Mr Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, they did so with great expectations. These expectations were borne from the knowledge that a thoroughbred executive with a wealth of experience in corporate governance was coming into power, so a new order was expected.

It will be five years by next week since Udom Emmanuel, rode on the crest of a five-point agenda to office as governor of Akwa Ibom state. Emmanuel has brought a fresh perspective to the leadership recruitment process in Akwa Ibom state, created unconventional ideas that have pushed the limits of job options available in the state, food production, industrialisation and other social services.

In this two-part piece, I attempt to highlight a few of his achievements in five years in six areas namely, industrialisation, political inclusion, education, health, security, and sports |>>>AKWA IBOM
