The Executive Chairman, Akwa Ibom Investment Corporation (AKICORP), Dr. Elijah Akpan, has identified the starting point for the mobilisation of our teeming youth to be value orientation, achievement motivation, and imbibing of the imbibing the culture of entrepreneurship.
Dr. Akpan stated this while playing host to the youth of Onna who had visited him in his country home in Awa Iman, Onna Local Government Area.
The AKICORP boss stated that youth, not oil, is the nation’s valuable resources and, therefore, the strategic mobilisation of youth for economic empowerment through industrialisation is one of the pathways to harness their potentials.
He said that it was for this reason that the State Governor, Mr. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, has demonstrated outstanding performance in leadership qualities, governance, youth empowerment and development, in line with his 5-Point Agenda.
While calling on the youth to arise and embrace the ambience of greatness in the spirit of ‘dakkada’, as promoted by the present Administration in the State, the Executive Chairman pledged to do his best in the task with which he has been saddled, being entrusted with manning the one-stop industrialisation vehicle in the State.
Dr. Akpan specifically tasked them to shun violence, dwell together in love and unity, ensuring that they promoted peace at all times, noting that no meaningful development can thrive in an atmosphere of rancour and strifes.
Also speaking, the PDP Chairman, Onna Chapter, Barr. Ubong Adiakpan, charged them to harness the thoughts of all their people together, while frowning at those who take pleasure in slandering others.
Speaking separately, Comrades Ubong Essien, Nkenang Dominic, Victor Udofia, Ubong Ekwere and Ubong Ekefre, among many others, while congratulating the Governor on the well deserved Award bestowed on him, opined the fact that negativity should not be celebrated in the Area, rather an all inclusive governance, empowerment, manpower development and hard work, involving those at the grassroots, should be encouraged.
High points of the occasion were the moving of motions in support of the State Governor’s 2nd term bid and the adoption of Dr. Elijah Akpan as the official mouth piece of all Onna Youth.
In separate motions moved by the President, Akwa Ibom Youth Council, Onna Chapter, Comrade Daniel Nwa and seconded by Comrade Ubong Ekwere, the Onna youth maintained their readiness to have and support the Governor contest for and be victorious in 2019.
Also, in a motion moved by Hon. Collins Almond Bob and seconded by Comrade Ernest Udo Ndon, all rose in agreement to have the Executive Chairman, AKICORP, Dr. Elijah Akpan, speak for them with the S tate Government as their official mouth piece.
