He added that once any of them  was  able to show evidence of N1 million  in his account at the end of the first year, such person would receive additional N1 million to boost  his business.

He said: ‘’Within three years of our administration, we  will fulfill all our campaign promises made to Ebonyi people. In the next two days, we will assemble about 2,600 of our youths and women for empowerment and half of it  will be  our women. We are going to launch operation one hectre per person.”
