My regime will not depend on the revenue accruable from the federation account, rather it will look inwards into the areas Ebonyi have the comparative advantages over the other states, explore them, utilise and make them viable.
These are the projections of the Gubernatorial candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party ( NNPP )in Ebonyi state, Prophet Dr Chris Adol Awam.
Prophet Adol Awam disclosed the areas as the Agriculture and Solid mineral sectors, maintaining that the hitherto sustainable agricultural practice of the agrarian Ebonyi people will be transformed into mechanized farming into which there will be readily availability of farm inputs and a viable market for the produce from the farms.
The governorship hopeful said that as a practical miner, he knew all the places where we have the mineral deposits in quantum and not only to be harvested and sold but to be processed in the state.
He said by doing this, the processing will provide an additional job opportunity for the teeming population of the state apart from the revenue generation into the coffers of the state.
He said that in the agricultural sector, farming equipment and farm inputs will be procured to be used by the farmers that are going to form Cooperative Societies.
Prophet Adol Awam lamented the negligence of past administrations of these sectors in the state and solely depended on borrowing and the allocations coming from the federal government and posited that his administration if given the mandate, will explore other avenues to develop the state and take it to a higher level
