Abia will be better off if the Gross Domestic Product of the State is enhanced to be at par with other States of the federation, High Chief Ikechi Emenike has posited.
The Guber candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the March 11th poll, said the GDP of every nation/ state is of utmost importance because it has been proved by economists that it has the potency of turning around a state like Abia whose economy is in shambles.
High Chief Emenike who stated this on Thursday while interacting with newsmen, added that as states in Nigeria look for ways to augment the money they receive from the federation account, it is important that products from the state are well harnessed to boost it’s economy.
He said if elected, he and his Deputy, Barr. Rev. Mrs Gloria Akara and a team he will assemble, will work tirelessly to give Abians hope in all ramifications, adding that they will ensure to enhance the domestic products in the state by creating good network in the 17 LGAs of the state.
High Chief Emenike who restated that he is poised to rescue and develop Abia, added that to achieve this, he has penciled down 23 key deliverables targeted at rescuing the state while insisting that redeeming Abia remains his vision.
