As the Executive Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, I have taken a significant step towards promoting economic development and transparent governance in our council area.
Yesterday, I inaugurated two strategic committees, the Obio/Akpor International Market Verification Committee and the Obio/Akpor Economic and Investment Summit 2025 Committee, at the Council Secretariat, Rumuodomaya.
The inauguration of these committees is a clear indication of my commitment to charting a new course for economic growth, investment sustainability, and better management of our local assets. The Economic and Investment Summit Committee will develop a clear roadmap for the economic transformation of Obio/Akpor, while the Verification Committee will work to restore the Obio/Akpor International Market to its intended purpose.
During my address, I emphasized the importance of collaboration and partnership in governance, highlighting the need for a triple helix approach that brings together the academia, government, and the business community to work towards the development of our local economy.
I also commended the former Council Chairman, Hon. Chief Timothy Nsirim, for establishing the Obio/Akpor International Market, which I described as a valuable economic asset.
The inauguration of these committees marks a significant milestone in our council's journey towards economic development and transparent governance.
I believe that with the right approach and commitment, we can achieve our goals and make Obio/Akpor a thriving and self-sustaining local economy.
My leadership and vision are set to bring about positive change in our community, and I look forward to seeing the impact of these committees.
