Our Declaration

Uruan Local Government Area is among the few Local Government Areas in Akwa Ibom State that is highly endowed with both human, natural and material resources which could be harnessed to better the lot of all sons and daughters, even to generations yet unborn.

The vast agricultural land, the smooth flow of rivers, streams and springs, the glittering sandy beaches, the people and their age-long culture of hospitality, the season that runs its time, the rich variety of food making, dressings, and dances define a people with great blessings and potentials. The people have a cultural, social and economic heritage that spans hundreds of years especially across the continent of Europe, trading in fibre from our rich agricultural deposit. The people also harvest the sea, and are noted for fishing.

The infrastructural facilities like good road network, water, electricity, airport, the five star-Le Meridien Tourist Resort and Golf Course provided by the Government of Obong Godswill Obot Akpabio points a clear direction on tourism and a future guide to development plan in Uruan Local Government Area. This developmental paradigm fully enhanced will create employment for our teeming youths, generate revenue for government and also improve the socio- economic and cultural well-being of the people.

In spiting all of the above, unemployment with its numerous and unkind visages has a stronghold in Nigeria particularly in rural communities like Uruan. The trend of unemployment in Nigeria as in Uruan Local Government Area has been traced to the decline in entrepreneurship and craftsmanship. This decline potends a future depreciation in our resources as these resources are used unsustainably. The one and only approach to this failed state of affairs and decline is to introduce a change.

The administration of CHANGE in Uruan can not be over emphasized and this is the gap I have come to negotiate with the people to fill in the Uruan Local Government Council come 2011.

The change administration will facilitate the following;

AGRICULTURE:

• Fishing
• Food / Tree crop
  

COMMERCE:

• Encourage the reinstatement of domestic trading ports
• Market Development
• Co-operative development and Micro-credit Scheme

EDUCATION:

• Entrepreneurship and skill acquisition
• Literacy programme
• Encourage the people of Uruan to take advantage of the Governor Godswill Akpabio free and compulsory education policy
  

TRANSPORTATION:

• Road grading, maintenance and sanitation

TOURISM AND ENVIRONMENT:

• Cultural Carnival
• Tree planting and beautification
  

I am privileged to sit in several economic fora that seek a future for the people, I have organized meetings that express desire for the way forward and I must confess and testify to you that the people are willing and ready to embrace the change that is apt and sustainable.

Thank you and God Bless
