Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, has been honoured with an award as the outstanding governor in industrialisation in the south-south.
The award was presented to the governor by Tony Akiotu, group managing director of DAAR Communications.
The founder of DAAR Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, who led board members, management and staff of DAAR Communications to the presentation of the award, lauded Emmanuel for “bringing his wealth of experience as an investment expert to bear in the economic development of the state”.
Dokpesi said with the investment in industrialisation, Akwa Ibom is fast becoming a business hub in the Gulf of Guinea.
He thanked the governor for patronising AIT in publicising the achievements of his administration.
Dokpesi congratulated Emmanuel on his victory at the March 9 gubernatorial elections and expressed the readiness of DAAR Communications to continue to partner the State in its development pursuits.
Responding, Emmanuel said his administration is entirely committed to the service of the state and it is on a mission to change the socio-economic status of the State from civil service dependent to an industrial hub.
Emmanuel said his administration’s “Dakkada Philosophy” has invented and inculcated the spirit of enterprise in the people, making it possible to channel available human resources to optimal positive use.
He dedicated the award to Akwa Ibom people whom he said shown him love by re-electing him and maintaining a peaceful environment that makes development to thrive.
The governor thanked the management of DAAR Communications for the honuor conferred on him and pledge to partner the organisation in highlighting activities of the state.
