Gov Eno Targets Non-oil Revenues, Okays N2.5bn For Palm Oil Production

The Akwa Ibom state governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has said the state was inkling towards the diversification of the economy to agriculture, tourism and other non-oil sectors, to boost the revenue profile of the state.

Speaking at the March Projects Delivery Meeting (PDM) held at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Uyo, the governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to timely project delivery and sustainable development.

Reviewing his administration’s scorecard since 2023, the governor gave himself a pass mark and highlighted 86 priority projects of the administration outside road, hospital, and school projects.

He emphasised the need for stronger collaboration among ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to drive greater output and ensure efficient service delivery, and directed the constitution of an inter-ministerial committee to drive the completion and commissioning of Youth Friendly Centres (YFC).
