The Akwa Ibom State gubernatorial candidate for the All Progressives Congress, APC, Obong Nsima Ekere, has declared to banish what he described as extreme poverty in the state should he wins the forthcoming governorship election.
While addressing his teeming supporters in Eket on Wednesday during the official inauguration of a two-storey office complex donated to him by Chief Assam Assam aka Emmaco, the APC governorship candidate proclaimed2019 as the Year to banish poverty in Akwa Ibom.
The NDDC boss bemoaned the systemic starvation and denial of employment opportunities to the citizens of the state by the incumbent PDP state government and promised to generate streams of job opportunities for the people to be gainfully employed once he is voted into office as the state governor.
Ekere, while regretting the non-payment of bursaries to Akwa Ibom students at the tertiary institutions, said he will reactivate the bursary scheme as soon as he is sworn into office in May.
Speaking on plight of the state civil servants, the former state governor said on assumption of duty as governor, all the entitlements will be paid to them and his government will ensure that the institution of civil service is improved for optimal performance.
He sympathized with the civil servants for nominal promotion given to them as they are compelled by the state government to sign undertaking that they will not seek salary increment and promotion arrears on offer of promotion.
Meanwhile, the governorship candidate had expressed delight over the support and massive turnout of Eket people at the event of the office commissioning.
