Abia State Government has
been urged to work closely
with the organised private
sector to realise its aim of
making the State the hub of
micro, small and medium enterprises in Nigeria and the
West African sub-region.
Anthony Enukeme, president,
Aba Chamber of Commerce,
Industry, Mines and
Agriculture (ACCIMA), a
frontline city chamber in the
South-East region of Nigeria, explained that such
collaboration will create
harmony between
Government and the
organised private sector and
attract fresh investments into the area.
Enukeme, an oil mogul and
chairman, chief executive
officer of TONIMAS Nigeria
Limited, observed that
government and the
organised private sector, represented by the chamber
movement, play major roles
in the development of the
society .
According to him, while
government has the
responsibility of providing
conducive environment, such
as security, power, road
development and maintenance, provision of
portable water and health
facilities to make life easy for
the people and attract
investors, the organised
private sector consisting of micro, small and medium
entrepreneurs, create jobs and
provide goods and services to
the people.
Consequently, he said there is
every need therefore for the
Government and the
organised private sector to
come together from time to
time to plan and work for the greater development of the
society.
He commended decisions
taken so far by the Governor
Okezie Ikpeazu-led
administration to reposition
Abia, stressing that his action
packed administration took- off on a very good note with
focus on how to rebuild
dilapidated infrastructure to
help move the State and its
people forward.
"We are aware of the many
road reconstruction projects
and opening of blocked
drainages, the administration
embarked upon in Aba and
other parts of the State, barely days after assumption
of office.
"Another was your prompt
invitation of our Chamber
Movement for a meeting on
July 7, in Umuahia where you
released a blueprint on your
administration's policy thrust for developing the State and
extended a hand of fellowship
to the organised private
sector, towards its
realization".
He reiterated the readiness of
the organized private sector in
Aba, to work with
government to ensure the
success of what he termed,
"people-oriented programmes embarked upon by the
administration.
In society, government and
the organized private sector,
represented by the Chamber
movement, play major roles
that when brought together,
help society growth and development.
He however, urged the State
Government to tackle
kidnapping and other heinous
crimes in the State and
especially in Aba, the State's
commercial hub.
Ikpeazu's, focal point is to
improve the economy of Abia
State, generate employment
and put food on the table of
the people.
To realize this, the Abia State
Governor, intends to assist
micro, small and medium
entrepreneurs in the State to
improve their businesses and
attract more patronage to the State.
