Akwa Ibom State governor, Mr Umo Eno has expressed optimism that the 4-day retreat organised for the executive members of the state government would help to translate this administration’s ARISE Agenda blueprint into tangible sectoral developments .
Briefing journalists on his arrival from the retreat, which was tagged: “ARISE AGENDA: Mapping The Future” held at Eko Hotels And Suites, Lagos, the governor said the exercise was part of his team-building strategies for implementation of the A.R.I.S.E. Agenda, as it afforded the team opportunity to distill the ARISE Agenda concept into an executable governance roadmap that would yield dividends for Akwa Ibom people.
“This is the first, I call it team building. If you have a team, you put them together. Even Jesus did it. Take them out, talk with them.
“This is all of the ARISE Agenda. We had to download and then distill it properly to the various Ministries to work as all of us will do. We expect the results.
“So we have a full roadmap and the implementation plan for the A.R.I.S.E. agenda. We believe that we are now good to go and all the ministries know what we are to do, when we are to do it and how to do it,” he stated.
Investment and economic experts, including, former Governor, Udom Emmanuel, Mrs Mfon Usoro, Bismarck Rewane, among others, addressed the retreat.
