Direction

Vision

“ABIA 2030: THE FACTORY STATE OF AFRICA: FROM HANDOUTS TO HANDWORK & FROM POTENTIAL TO PRODUCTION.”

 

My vision is to make Abia the first state in Nigeria where a poor woman’s child can start business with N10K in Aba, and in ten (10) years, export “Made in Aba” to London, USA and Asian markets without knowing anybody. “Made in Aba” will be branded and legalized as a registered trademark in EU, US, Dubia. Ariari will have its own Export Terminal. Every Local Government Area of Abia State should have one Factory Cluster and every procurement in Abia State is “Made in Aba” by law because our quality will no longer be negotiable, which will grow our Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) to over One Thousand Percent (1000%) not from TAX but from PRODUCTION to facilitate the equipment of Primary Health Centres across Abia with drugs, light and a Resident Doctor, deployment of modern security apparatus to safe guide lives and property thereby making Abia State safe for young people to stay and build the state with establishment of Abia Tech Village as a hub for digital and economic development of Abia State using the agricultural industrialization of Abia State POWERED by the youths through the enjoyment of free primary and secondary education as their pillars.   

Commitment

Mission

“IF WE BUILD THE THINKING OF ABIA YOUTHS POSITIVELY, THEY WILL REBUILD ABIA STATE SEAMLESSLY” .. KayKay

I am contesting for the Governorship Position to become the CHIEF SERVANT of Abia State and NOT AN EMPEROR, under a Social Contract, guided by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), audited by the people, for a transparent and accountable government anchored on the vibrancy of the Abia Youths, between ages 25 – 35, who will occupy 80% of the government positions, not as charity but by law, to be passed by the Abia State House of Assembly within my first 100 days in office, to pilot the reorientation of the Abia Youths, whose thinking has been under attack of: no light to read, no job to apply skills, no capital to start business, no justice to believe in, with the resultant effects of Japa, drugs addiction, fraud – YAHOOYAHOO and hopelessness and to rebuild the thinking of Abia Youths through PRODUCTION - “Hand and Brain must work” – moving Abia Youths from “Job Seekers” to “Job Creators”  through TECHNOLOGY – “From Ariari to Amazon” – not letting Abia Youths think again that their only future is abroad, as Abia Tech Village will come on stream so that Abia Youths can earn in Dollars without leaving Abia State and work in dignity as “UMU ABIA STATE”.
