Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Uche Ogah, a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 elections in Abia State, has proffered solutions to help pull the state out of abject poverty.<\/p>\n

He said the state must strive to increase her Gross National Income per capita, boost Gross Domestic Product per capita and improve massively on trade imbalances in relation to other economies of the southeast region.<\/p>\n

Ogah who was the immediate past Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, in a statement on Monday, stressed that Abia must aggressively pursue her regional integration and cooperation agenda to begin the process of improving the lives of the people and transforming the state from a rural agrarian disposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we\u2019re already blessed with enterprising people in the seventeen LGAs of the state and a huge commercial centre in Aba, it is imperative that we would now go ahead to develop other adjoining areas to serve as hubs in predetermined economic activities not only for the benefit of Abia State but the entire South East region of Nigeria and beyond\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Abia can take the lead in instigating an economic outlook for the South East region of the country, we would derive a lot of benefits ranging from incremental production capacity, economic diversification and growth, job creation and above all, poverty reduction which would have a ripple effect on other states of the South East,\u201d he posited\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said the idea behind the regional integration and cooperation plan is to initiate a wide variety of forms of collaboration within the region that would entail symbiotic policies and regulatory frameworks that would in turn create joint institutions.<\/p>\n

Such collaborations, he claimed will see the establishment of highly developed transportation modes within the zone such as rail transport and alternative highways to cut travel times between production or service or raw material hubs in the region, among other projects that would boost the economic growth.<\/p>\n
