Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, says industrialisation should not be left in the hands of government alone.
Emmanuel said this when he received Akwa Ibom Professionals based in Abuja and Lagos at government house, Uyo, capital of the state.
Emmanuel said his administration had tackled challenges in all sectors of the state economy, ranging from education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure to industrialisation.
“Industrialisation should not be left in the hands of government alone,” he said.

Udeme Uffot, an advertising practitioner, commended the governor for his strides.
