Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has explained that establishing industries is not wholly the state government’s responsibility.This was coming in the wake of speculations in some quarters that the industries established in the state under the present administration are not owned by the state government as claimed but by private individuals.
According to him, “I have heard some people make rather ill-informed comments to the effect that these industries we have attracted are not owned by the State Government. “It, however, takes a leader who understands and has established enduring contacts within the corporate world to convince and bring these investors to the state, which thankfully we have done in the last six-plus years and still remain committed to doing. I urge us to do a little research before we begin to attack and condemn.”
The statement added, “Some people have also taken to the social media to talk about serious issues such as pension and gratuities armed with little knowledge of the subject matter or outrightly misinforming the public. My dear Akwaibomites, as I speak to you, we have paid our pensioners up to date. I repeat we have paid up to date all our pensioners.
