Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has called on the incoming President, Bola Tinubu, to run an all-inclusive government that would give citizens equal right to contribute their quota towards development of the nation irrespective of tribe, religion and status.
Ikpeazu, yesterday, said that running an all-inclusive government would open a new vista to identify and address challenges confronting the nation, including insecurity, economy and infrastructure, among others.
He said he is proud of his administration, especially its efforts in areas of capacity building, training of artisans and promotion of made-in-Aba shoes and garments that are yielding positive results.
Ikpeazu expressed joy, stressing that Aba garment and shoemakers can now match shoulder to shoulder with best designers in the world, as their products are now in high demand.
Ikpeazu disclosed that his administration established the Abia Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Bank to provide funding for petty traders, and SMEs, render business advisory services on basic book-keeping and how to obtain loans from the Bank Of Industry (BOI) and other funding agencies.
He said his administration equally collaborated with the rural agency for electrification, which is a federal government initiative to ensure steady power supply across Aba, especially the Ariaria International Market and Umuehilegbu Industrial Cluster to enhance productivity.
Ikpeazu further noted that he would be leaving office as a happy man, adding that aside from politics, one of his personal accomplishments is the completion of the first written book on Biochemistry of Environmental Pollution.
He reiterated that his ability to write a book on a technical subject matter, ‘The Molecular Basis of Environmental Pollution’ makes him a man of many parts, who do not depend on politics.
