FISCAL DISCIPLINE, REVENUE DIVERSIFICATION CRITICAL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEV.- GOV UMO ENO

... as Senate President applauds his leadership style

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has emphasized on the need for states and local governments to embrace fiscal discipline and revenue diversification to achieve sustainable development.

The Governor stated this while delivering a public lecture on the theme: "Leading Economic Development in Sub-Nationals of the Nigerian Federation: The ARISE Agenda," at the University of Uyo.

He noted that the ARISE Agenda was borne out of the desire to grow the economy while developing abundant human resources in the State, focuses on eight lofty goals including; Poverty reduction, Job creation, Price stability,sustainable economic growth, improved standard of living, environmental sustainability, highly educated, healthy and skilled people, and the Security of lives and property

He further explained that the ARISE Agenda, a flagship economic blueprint that guides his administration's development efforts, is an acronym for ‘five-group aspirations’: Agricultural Revolution, Tourism Development and Environmental Management; Rural Development, Women & Youth Empowerment; Infrastructural Maintenance and Advancement; Security Management, Sound Educational and Health Sector Management; and Economic, Industrial and Social Advancement

The Governor who holds a Doctorate degree in Public Administration from the University, said that since the inception of his administration, wastages in government have been minimized, and the government is determined to expand its revenue base by digitalization of government operations.

"Soon, we will launch AKWAGIS, a digital platform where we will be collecting ground rent, which as we speak is in the region of N16 billion. Through this platform, we will be able to seamlessly offer Certificates of Occupancy, which would help attract businesses to our State.

"We are also investing heavily in the tourism sector that has been variously described as the “New Black Gold.” From agricultural tourism, through our Ibom Model Farm, to medical tourism, with our planned Ibom International Medical Centre - a 200-bed hospital that will come with 24 different departments under one roof. This hospital, once completed, will compare to any such facility anywhere in the world.

"The ARISE Resort, which we hope to commission in the first half of this year, the International Conference Centre, the Ibom Tropicana Hotel, which we are poised to complete will signpost our ascendancy as the tourism hub of our nation and bring in billions of Naira in revenue.

" We remain committed to the growth and expansion of Ibom Air and work is ongoing in the Aviation Village, as part of our investments in the aviation eco- system.

"We are committed to the human capital development of our people and this has been acknowledged by the Federal Government and the World Bank, leading to the launch two days ago, of the Human Capital Development Strategic Plan by the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON.

"We have achieved a success rate of 3.5% out of school children, against the national average of 25.6% - a truly remarkable feat.

"We are positioning our State for growth beyond oil by these strategic investments in tourism and human capital development," he said.

The Governor said to ensure the success of economic development in sub-nationals, policymakers must develop action plans before implementation, strengthen governance and institutional capacity, enhance internally generated revenue (IGR) to reduce reliance on federal allocations, promote regional economic cooperation and trade among states, encourage private sector-led development through investment incentives, and focus on collaboration rather than conflicts.

He appreciated the crafters of the ARISE Agenda, and expressed his determination to go the extra mile to further development in the State, while urging policymakers, corporate bodies, the academia, and citizens to join hands with him in the journey towards a prosperous, self-reliant, and globally competitive sub-national economy.

In his remarks, the President of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio applauded the Governor for his inclusive leadership disposition which according to him has engendered unprecedented peace and security in the State.

Senator Akpabio who was represented by Dr. Saviour Enyiekere, Chairman of the National Assembly Service Commission (NASC), also commended the Governor for his collaboration with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government, and assured of the support of the All Progressives Congress in the State to ensure the Governor's second term victory in 2027.

Chairman of the Occasion, Emeritus Prof. Akpan Ekpo, the University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nyaudoh Ndaeyo and the Dean of the Host Faculty, Faculty of Social Sciences, Prof. Christopher Ekong as well as Dean of the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Prof. Peter Esuh appreciated the Governor for accepting to share his thoughts through the public lecture, stressing that the ARISE Agenda is a comprehensive document that can drive development in the State and other sub-nationals.

The event which attracted eminent personalities within and outside the State, had as discussants, Prof. Okechukwu Onuchukwu, Vice - Chancellor, Ignatius Aguru University of Education, Rivers State, and Prof. Ebebe Ukpong, a development expert and former Commissioner in the State.

DOES GOD HATE POVERTY OR PROSPER

Look At What The Bible Says About Prosperity:

1. JOSHUA 1:8
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
Explanation:
God ties prosperity and success to obedience and meditation on His Word. When a person lives by God's principles, they align with His divine laws that produce fruitfulness in all aspects of life.

2. PSALM 1:2-3
“But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Explanation:
A person who delights in and meditates on God’s Word will be stable, fruitful, and prosperous in all they do—just like a well-watered tree.

3. DEUTERONOMY 8:18
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
Explanation:
Wealth and prosperity are not self-earned; they are gifts from God given to fulfill His covenant. Remembering this keeps us humble and aligned with His purpose.

4. 3 JOHN 1:2
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
Explanation:
This verse highlights that true prosperity includes physical, financial, and spiritual well-being. God desires complete prosperity for His children.

5. PROVERBS 10:22
“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
Explanation:
When God blesses someone with wealth, it comes with peace and joy—not with the sorrow and stress that often accompanies worldly riches.

6. MALACHI 3:10
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Explanation:
Tithing opens the door to divine abundance. God invites us to test His faithfulness by giving, and He promises overflowing blessings in return.

7. PROVERBS 3:9-10
“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”
Explanation:
When we honor God with our wealth—especially the first part of it—He promises to bless us with more than enough in return.

8. LUKE 6:38
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Explanation:
Generosity activates prosperity. God multiplies what we give and causes it to return in abundance, often through others.

9. PSALM 35:27
“Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”
Explanation:
God delights in the prosperity of His people, especially those who support and promote His righteous cause. Prosperity brings Him glory.

10. PHILIPPIANS 4:19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Explanation:
God promises to meet every need—not just financially but in all aspects—based on His abundant and unlimited resources in Christ.

11. GENESIS 26:12-13
“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great.”
Explanation:
This shows how God can cause supernatural increase even in difficult environments when we act in obedience and faith.

12. JOB 36:11
“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”
Explanation:
Obedience to God is clearly linked to a life filled with abundance and joy, not just in eternity but in our present lives.

13. 2 CORINTHIANS 9:8
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.”
Explanation:
God not only provides for our needs but empowers us to be generous and abundant in doing good for others.

14. ZECHARIAH 8:12
“For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew.”
Explanation:
God speaks of prosperity in every sector—seed, vine, ground, and heavens—pointing to fruitfulness in all areas of life.

15. ECCLESIASTES 5:19
“Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.”
Explanation:
True prosperity includes both the ability to gain wealth and the joy of enjoying it—it is a divine gift, not just a human accomplishment.

God Indeed Loves Prosperity Of His People And Hates Poverty.

Let me tell you a secret.

The early stages of your growth are usually the hardest.

Let me use social media as an example.

It’s harder to get your first 10k followers.

I struggled with hitting 10k followers for many many years. I was just stuck.

I opened this account in 2017. That’s about 7 years ago. For the first five to six years, growth was so difficult. I was stuck at less than 10k followers.

I think things started changing last year. As soon as I passed the 10k mark, it became way easier from there. The same 10k followers I struggled to get in years, I could now hit within a few weeks.

It’s the same thing with money. The first million will likely be one of the hardest to make. But once you make it, things begin to flow more easily.

It's the same with building anything worthwhile.

Why is the beginning always tough?

Because in that phase, you’re still trying to figure things out. You’re experimenting, doing trial and error. But there comes a time when you finally find your winning formula. At that point, you stop guessing. You simply apply what works, and the results keep coming in.

Now, here's why I’m sharing this.

At that point where you’re trying to break through, there’s always the temptation to cut corners and look for an easy way out.

Please, resist it.

The process, the lessons, the mistakes, and everything you encounter in that difficult season are what make your future success easier.

If you follow shortcuts, you’ll never build anything substantial.

Let me not talk too much.

Bottom line is this. If you’re going through a tough phase right now, no matter what you’re building, it’s totally normal.

Just keep going.

You’re gaining experiences that will make your growth tomorrow look like magic.

People will see you and say, “Is it not this girl? How did she grow so fast?”

But when you were struggling with 1k followers and 5k in your account, they didn’t know o.

We all have our breakthrough moments.

Patiently wait for yours.

Let's keep doing wonders together.

25. Some people return just to see if you’re still naive.

START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Many times people say they are held back from starting their businesses by a lack of capital. I say start working with whatever you have. That thing could be:

A business idea. Have you thought about how you're going to execute it? Every business idea needs work before you can execute. You need a plan, strategy, research, vision and proper actionable steps if you're going to succeed.

A skill you got from your parents growing up. What skill can you use to make money? This could simply be something you did with your parents like farming, poultry, baking, hair dressing, designing etc. Having that skill is one thing but refining that skill so that it's marketable is another. Work on that.

Knowledge from school or streets. Anything you learn is salable, this is why they say the more you learn the more you earn. You can use even the experience you have from your job to start a business. But you need to find a way of packaging it so you can make money from it. And that takes work.

Money without a proper idea, skill or knowledge will be wasted. Hear it from me. Don't despair if you don't have capital. Start working on yourself so that when the money shows up it'll find you ready.

I wish you all the success in the world.

We started long time ago. No overnight success
