The plans to position Edo State economy is achievable with a competent hand. It also requires a genuine vision to put things in a better perspective.
We are talking of a vision that have been tested and practiced by a son of the soil, Engr. Gideon Ikhine while in one of the biggest sectors that controls the Nigeria economy. This is what he plans to replicate and improve upon in a larger place like Edo State.
It is a known fact that Engr. Ikhine is one of the Nigerians who has achieved so much both in private and public sectors which has contributed inmmensely to the well being of the Nigeria society. Therefore, it is time to bring on board such competent and experienced person in the governance of Edo State.
He is coming with a vision that will touch all areas of the economy, which includes Agriculture, Industries, Health, Education, Skills Aquisition in a larger form and many others that will come on board, all for the benefits of Edo people.
He has the vision to put Edo State on a sound footing economy that will possibly attract Nigerians and international investors that will invest to create massive employment for the teaming youths which the University and other higher institutions are churning out on a yearly basis.
You can only achieve all these numerous things when you have someone with the wealth of experience on the driver's seat to drive the economy of the state.
His dream to become the governor of Edo State has been a long time project whose time has come. It will only serve as a blessing to the people of Edo State if given the opportunity to actualise this promising dream.
Engr. Ikhine equally believed that putting good governance in place cannot be achieved by him alone, hence he is already meeting with some stakeholders who he believes are competent and vast in the areas of economic recovery for the state. He has already done his home work to handle the task ahead.
Above all he is also meeting with shareholders across the three senatorial districts in an attempt to sell his ideas and candidature to them on how best he intends to govern the state and why they should give him all the needed support to succeed in his Governorship ambition.
One of his vision too is in the area of training and capacity building for those experts that will man those strategic aspects of the State economy. He will certainly not leave any stone untured to achieve the best for the people.
His action towards the strategy to make Edo State an economic hub is already getting clearer for those that have any ideas on how to get things done to get results.
It is therefore, imperative to watch out for him and to equally encourage him to move on with the zeal of coming to reposition Edo State which the people are presently yearning for.
