The Afemai Empowerment Club of Nigeria, a group that is into youth and women empowerment, has called on entrepreneurs and citizens of Edo State to support the industrialisation policy of the administration of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to develop the state.

The President of the group, Mr.Nurudeen Yusuf, said this while addressing Journalists after an emergency meeting of the group held in Lagos , stressing that continuity in the policies on job creation and youth empowerment put in place by the current administration, would fast track economic growth and development in the State.

He said, “The present government has embarked on numerous developmental projects designed to enhance rapid economic growth and development in the state, continuity in government will pave the way for people at the grass-root to benefit from government polices and projects that are already on-going in the State.

In consideration of unparalleled achievements of Oshiomhole, in the areas of youth/women empowerment, creation of jobs to tackle the problem of unemployment, infrastructure development, construction and rehabilitation of schools to improve the standard of education in the state, the Club has resolved to support his re-election to ensure long-term development in Edo.

The government has done so well in the last four years, because this is the first time Edo State is witnessing massive infrastructure development. We are calling on all traditional institutions in the state to support continuity in government for the betterment of the masses”, he stressed.

On the efforts of government to promote industrialisation in the State, he said, “Everything is on ground for people to see. The present government constructed and rehabilitated many schools and roads across hundreds of villages in the three senatorial zones in Edo.

Government also resuscitated the economy to boost influx of Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) in the area. Aside from job creation, Oshiomhole has beautified the capital city, even as he invested massively in healthcare and provision of potable water to improve the standard of living in the state”.

His words: “The Club has carefully noted the sterling leadership quality of Oshiomhole, as he is working tirelessly to touch lives of people at the grass-root. We encourage the people of Edo to come out en-mass to vote for people oriented government. This is the only way the yearning for continuous development in the State can be sustained.”
