The Ebonyi State Governor, Mr. David Umahi, has promised to evolve new strategies that will make the economy of the state sustainable and self-reliant to reduce the risk of dependence on the federal government statutory allocations.
Umahi also assured the people that he would create an Ebonyi economy that will be self-propelled, self-sustaining and self-reliant within 10 years. The governor further stressed that he would harness various mineral deposits in the state including limestone and granite to their fullest potential. Umahi said: “Government needs to provide the critical infrastructure that will enable people to thrive and achieve their full potential. We have identified and embarked on the simultaneous execution of priority infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water, reconstruction of schools, renovation and reconstruction of 13 general hospitals.
