By -

(Nigeria) Special Assistant on Projects to the Executive Governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Mr Mbuotidem Affia, has said that his desire to contest for one of the seats in the State  House of Assembly next year is to develop his constituency neglected  by both the federal and state governments.
Speaking with the people of Ikono Clan in Etim Ekpo Local Government Area of the state,  Affia said he was determined to open up the clan and constituency with infrastructural facilities, industrialisation and entrepreneurial skill/training of the youths.
“We will use our position to lobby some prospective investors to site cottage industries with abundant raw materials as cassava and palm produce available through private public partnership, PPP,” he said.
Other areas he intends to attract development to include, sports which he describes as goldmine that would attract a lot of financial opportunities, provision of grants/loans to those who venture into business, improvement of primary/secondary healthcare delivery systems as well as intervention in critical areas of needs which fall within his financial capacity.
Promising to build on the relationship he has with the state governor,  Mr Udom Emmanuel, he said “We will continue to fill the gap needs for our people and undertake more social investments to bring succour to our constituent.”
He said promising to give good and exemplary leadership which is lacking in the constituency for upcoming generation.
 Affia also promised  to encourage more youths to go to school, according to him, payment of bursary and purchase of JAMB forms for the teeming youths in Ikono will be his priority to encourage them to go to school.
