Without making noise over it, the governor is implementing a well-structured strategic development plan to lift Akwa Ibom State and its people from the cesspit of underdevelopment, poor infrastructure, low industrial development, poverty and unemployment. By his strides, the governor understands that these are among the critical issues plaguing Akwa Ibom in particular and Nigeria in general.
It was not until I visited Akwa Ibom last year as a member of a team on inspection tour of some federal projects that my perception of Akwa Ibom State changed. I saw a clean state with beautiful solid infrastructures. The state capital Uyo is captivating with serenity mimicking what you see abroad. The intra-city urban mass transit buses are impressive and second to none. The people I asked about the turnaround gave credit to Governor Udom Emmanuel and also the former governor Akpabio.
Among the host of industrial manufacturing concerns Governor Udom is championing in Akwa Ibom is the Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company Limited. Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company is currently the largest disposable syringe factory in Africa. It produces three types of disposable syringes , which are made with state of the art technology from high quality medical grade raw materials. The company has a production capacity of 400 million syringes per annum.
When Governor Udom Emmanuel set out to lubricate the once virgin well of agriculture in Akwa Ibom State with the establishment of Africa’s biggest coconut oil refinery, most people had no idea of coconut’s enormous potentials. But the Governor went ahead, displaying his propensity to plan towards an economy beyond crude oil, as if he knew that a certain emerging covid-19 pandemic would bring the world on its knees.
