Which industrialization?

Is it that shell of a syringe factory? Or the so called metering company that till tomorrow no one has even felt their impact in Eket talk less of the whole of Akwa Ibom?

Where are Jobs being created?

Where are the roads being built? Even streetlights in Uyo are no longer working because the contract for powering them has been stopped!

How many jobs has he created for the Akwa Ibom people?

Truth be told Akwa Ibom is still living on the last glory of the Akpabio era. Look at the massive strides Wike is making in Rivers state then you will understand the extent to which Akwa Ibom is now underperforming.

Udom has the potential to step up his game massively. He should do that before he can be celebrated.

well said

Celebrities don't add anything to my life or how we play.... why should I care how they react to Nigeria losing..... can someone relay a msg to Okacha to give to Rhor..... Shehu should never play..... Iwobi should play behind the striker and Musa shud play left wing......... there you have a winning team not the tactical rubbish we did last night... I told a friend we'll lose 3 nil.. surprised they stopped at 2 nil...

Enemy of Akwa Ibom state. Face your useless APC state and your useless governor. I trust TonyeB to ignore you

Did i read transparency?

sweetTai:

Well, thank you for the education. I honestly did not know that South-South are more than Igbos.

Why will you even assume everyone in the region is igbo? Igbo's have just 5 states in the country.

And these are educated people, ignorance is just something formal education alone cannot tackle.

If anyone is ignorant, it is you. You are idiotic enough to think everyone knows about your corrupt region. I left Nigeria 22 years ago, and I do not give a hoot how many tribes are in South-South or South-North. My main concern is the well being of Nigeria as a whole, not just some regional touts.

Now, what are you saying?

What strikes me the most is the fact that Buhari and Fashola's federal government does not see Akwa ibom fit for any road construction project.

So Akwa ibom feeds the nation but not one road have been constructed in the state.

Instead, Fashola's is busy building roads in Lagos, Katsina and other parasitic parts of the country.

"One Nigeria" is a scam!

Now, what are you saying?

Never mind, it’s only for matured minds only. Not for asinine.

sweetTai:
I’m a Yoruba man but truth be told, it seems like the ibos are doing well better than the Southwestern states lately. The likes of Ajimobi, falase are useless. Their only developmental ideas are sharing bags of rice and oil. If the majority of young ibo boys will just forget dubious acts, I think their region will be very successful and attract investors.

Please note that Akwa Ibom is not Igbo state

I am proud of my State and also the government of Governor Udom ,I can see transparency , and a bright future of Akwa ibom State .

With due respect bro, let's face the real thing:

» Do you care to know why the state's yearly budgets tend to be receding in figures in the Udom's era?

» Do you care to know that geographic industrialization is not a 3-year thing?

» Do you care to know that the 13% of oil revenue in Akpabio's administration is almost double of Udom's 13% ?

» Do you even care to know just about how much of the halved allocation had been and is still being spent on administrative deficit cancellations ?

» How about the sinister collateral bondings on Udom's inherited slate ? Don't you care that it might affect the prospects of industrialization as it has as yet done ?





Quit being this unpatriotic for whatever bias you are breeding on -that is if you are . Udom has a year and possibly another term left to strike a proportionality that would dazzle our history.

Aren't you happy he is this celebrated ?

I am grateful you are happy. Just like you, I love Akwa Ibom.

We rather should be praying for this man. You sure wouldn't want him to see him assume awfulness. Some states are decaying for this cause.

Check the records, for 19 years, relatively speaking, we've never experienced failure in governance. Indeed, Akwa Ibom is blessed.



Together we stand! Imm'idaka ida!

Dear sir this is not about being unpatriotic. Every government is facing the same receding budget allocation compared to the previous GEJ era including Rivers State but still we are still seeing concerted transformation projects in a number of states like Rivers, Kaduna and Lagos to name a few.

Under the Udom administration truth be told, few expected him to match the massive strides in infrastructural development of his predecessor but he had one of the best foundations to consolidate on.

He has been unable to sustain even 30% of the infrastructural development pace of his predecessor, he has been unable to maintain the structures he met on ground, he is yet to complete any of the projects not completed by his predecessor and we are yet to see the impact of the so called dakada initiative in terms of job creation and entrepreneurial empowerment in terms of loans.

I must commend him for the dakada initiative though because our people have always believed in receiving cash gifts from people in government to working. That said, I'm yet to hear of state sponsored farms for example, or for supervised loans to budding Akwa Ibom entrepreneurs looking for investment.

In the Akpabio era we heard of the Ibom power plant. What is this government doing to maintain it and expand it's generation capacity as well as work on the power distribution network of the state knowing the key role power has to play in infrastructural development?

Instead we keep placing our hopes on one syringe factory here or one metering company there, placing all our hopes on private sponsorship without doing more to provide the enabling environment to provide that support.

Come to think of it, how many scholarships have been awarded by this government?

How many secondary schools and technical colleges have been refurbished to advance the quality of educational institutions in the state. Akpabio brought free and compulsory primary education and during his 8 years a lot of primary schools were rehabilitated. So what is Udom doing to advance that initiative and arm the youths with the needed skills to either further their education or provide themselves with a trade?


What has been done to improve the health sector in the state?

Bro we can only move forward when we are truthful to ourselves. THREE YEARS DON CARRY WAKA and we are still in planning phase. The honest truth is that our current allocation is still 10 times what some other states are collecting. Every day budding Akwa Ibom youths are leaving the state to other places in search of jobs elsewhere. Just imagine if 100m was set aside monthly to provide supervised loans to 100 entrepreneurs from each of the 31 local government areas of the state. That means in 3 years 3600 businesses would have been created which would have employed others with the multiplier growth effect on the economy of the state!

Udom CAN and SHOULD do more to move the state forward. Compared to Wike, his fellow PDP stalwart he has done nothing worthy of commendation. Being a technocrat I expected much more results from him but so far all we have heard are excuses and more excuses. Imagine something as basic as streetlights cannot be maintained! Then why am I not surprised that the 20th anniversary hospital is having issues?

Then why am I not surprised that the 20th anniversary hospital is having issues?

Certainly he CAN. He has what it takes but not necessarily all it takes. The expanse of previously-unreached locations, in terms of government projection, has also been brought into the development radar in thick reality. Such realities costs lots of money to be worked out.

There is an emerging gumption from within the ministries to perform not because there is this tenet philosophy to keep up with, but because every bit of their efforts would count at the end of every month. This too survives on money.

It also cost ' monies ' and fortunes to see to it that at the end of every four weeks, a fair attempt is made for this spendings to be accounted for.


For the 20th anniversary hospital, I think he had inherited so many too-sacred-to-be-mentioned responsibilities; money, and destiny bounded ones for that matter. So much that he can't risk his dream for some illicit loyalty. Should he take one more thing off is pre-election vision to make room for one more inherited responsibilty, he would technically become a failure. Even at that, there is an excellent on-going effort targeted towards not only keeping the facility warm with activities, but also to raise the odds of making for its planetary relevance.

When making comparisons with other states, analyze their peculiar economic, social and political constants to see if there is any basis for matching both on the poles of changing priorities. We all know what weight of possibilities and options internally generated revenues brings to nigerian states who are predisposed to enjoy such. Lagos and Rivers belong in this bracket.


With the mixture of coverage that pre-to-colonial federal government sponsored investments, and federally attracted investors to keep citizens economically engaged whilst sucking human resources from other states into their public and private workforces, brings to this states,very little is left for their present day government to worry about. Taxation alone makes them well cushioned against blows of drop in oil price. In this states, even when allocations would drop, taxation maintains a steady influx.

I also wish to commend the effort of El Rufia in trying to bring Kaduna to a sudden limelight. It is all just a few miles from becoming what could lift them above the level of other states, to that of Rivers and Lagos states.

Udom's list is a melting pot of two visions. He has been hauling it for three years. That is enough success from a critical perspective. That is why he was lift-elected in the first place. He is a technocrat indeed, the quiet truths are altogether a prove. Continuity has always be touted for. We all know and are comfortable with the essence of continuity. Our past democratic administrations had laboured so much to take us this far. But then, he can't just become assume a sitcom role in his own leadership. Good enough, he isn't dumping any project to die. In his permutations as we've seen, every project of previous administrations naturally gets its chance when such listing is due.

This is just a scratch to a huge tonnage. He has the most of it under his throat- a lucid depiction of his democrat character. An unflinching patriot! Just like you....

I am really proud of you, not only because your wrapping words were suggestive of a pro-democracy citizen, you accommodate the balance and wit needed to pull unbiased criticisms. I hope that someday, your sort of persona would find its way to that top where matters are made and destroyed.

Sorry for thinking of you as being unpatriotic. Kuyad esid mbok!
