    The Commissioner, who was accompanied by his Wife, Mrs. Maureen Umanah was ushered into the Ministry by a team of excited Staff, led by the Permanent Secretary, Akparawa James Edet.

  • NEWLY SWORN-IN COMMISSIONERS IN AKWA IBOM STATE.

    FEBRUARY 24TH, 2025 – BANQUET HALL, GOVERNMENT HOUSE, UYO

    PROTOCOL:
    1. Let me, on behalf of the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State, congratulate the newly sworn-in Commissioners/Special Advisers, who are now members of the State Executive Council.

    Again, let me send my special thanks and appreciation to the Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Udeme Otong, and the Honourable members for the speedy screening and clearance of the then nominees, who are now our brand-new Honourable Commissioners.

    2. Permit me to also use this opportunity to express our profound gratitude once again to the members of the immediate past Executive Council for their service to the State.

    You came, you did your part, and we will remain eternally grateful for your contributions to the development of our State.

    3. To the newly sworn-in Commissioners, you have been privileged to be selected out of the 7.9 million people of this blessed State to provide service to your State.

    Let me again reemphasize that your selection was the sole prerogative of the Governor, and this was based primarily on your proven capacities and ability to get the job done—not on ethnic or primordial considerations.

    Your loyalty, therefore, is to the Governor and to the State.

    4. This EXCO can be rightly referred to as: THE EXCO OF CONSOLIDATION AND EXPANSION – a Joseph’s Team. Like Joseph, you have been handed a vision as contained in our Arise Agenda.

    You are to work collaboratively to interpret and deliver on those key planks of our governance blueprint for the betterment of our people and State.

    Teamwork, unity, and passion are the ingredients we require from you.

    5. In 2 Kings 4:38–41, the power of working together and looking out for the mistakes of others, so the common good and fidelity to causes higher than ours can be achieved, is again illustrated.

    A near-fatal error by way of accidental poisoning of the meal prepared for collective consumption by one of the sons of the prophet was discovered.

    Prophet Elisha, showing strong leadership and team spirit, found a solution to what could have been a fatal meal by adding flour to the poisoned meal.

    That singular solution restored the meal and the lives of the prophets, and the collective good was achieved.

    6. The above biblical story illustrates what the spiritual and psychological underpinnings of this EXCO are all about.

    This EXCO, therefore, must be shaped by love, teamwork, unity of purpose, and the spirit of oneness—carrying each other along as partners rather than adversaries and being very observant so that we do not allow one person to destroy collective attainment.

    7. You are to look for solutions and not engage in blame games while also working to tighten weak links and encourage deeper team spirit for the overall success of the team.

    8. We have a blueprint, the ARISE Agenda, which in concrete and precise layers contains our dream for the development of our State.

    Your role, like Joseph, is to help further interpret the dream and vision by working collaboratively to prepare our State and people for years of continuous economic growth and prosperity.

  • ~ The $1 Billion Powdered Eggshell Industry: Why African Entrepreneurs Must Take This Seriously
    If someone told you that eggshells—those things you throw away after making breakfast—could be the foundation of a highly profitable global business, would you believe it?

    =

    Yet, this is exactly what’s happening. The powdered eggshell industry, a $1 billion market, is booming, with major players across Europe, America, and Asia making millions of dollars from something most Africans discard as waste.

    =

    This raises a critical question: Why aren’t young African graduates and entrepreneurs taking advantage of this opportunity?

    =

    The truth is, the powdered eggshell industry is one of the most untapped, scalable, and sustainable businesses on the continent today. With Africa producing millions of eggs daily, young entrepreneurs can collect, process, and export eggshell powder to global buyers, transforming waste into wealth.

    =

    Why Powdered Eggshell is a Goldmine in the Global Confectionery Industry

    =

    Many people don’t realize that eggshells contain over 95% calcium carbonate, a highly sought-after ingredient in the confectionery, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. In baking and confectionery, powdered eggshell is used to improve food structure, texture, and nutritional content.

    =

    Top food brands use eggshell powder in:

    =

    Breads & Pastries – To fortify products with natural calcium

    Chocolate Production – To enhance texture and consistency

    Dietary Supplements – For bone health and medical applications

    =

    With the global push for organic and sustainable ingredients, demand for eggshell powder is expected to rise significantly over the next decade.

    =

    Why African Graduates Should Join Forces to Build a Confectionery Marketing Team

    =

    The major players in the powdered eggshell market are large international corporations. However, young entrepreneurs in Africa don’t need millions of dollars to get started. By forming a team and strategically marketing powdered eggshell products, they can penetrate this market and establish a thriving business.

    =

    Here’s what such a team could do:

    =

    1️. Set up a collection and processing network – Partner with poultry farms and bakeries to collect eggshell waste.

    2️. Process the shells into fine powder – Using simple grinding and purification technology.

    3️. Sell directly to food companies & confectionery brands – Both locally and globally.

    4️. Export in bulk to foreign markets – Using e-commerce and B2B trade platforms.

    =

    By leveraging teamwork, digital marketing, and smart branding, a small group of African entrepreneurs could scale this business to $100,000+ in monthly revenue within 12–18 months.

    =

    Earnings Potential for Entrepreneurs and Investors

    =

    A small processing unit producing 5,000kg per month at $5/kg can generate $25,000 per month in revenue.

    Scaling up to 20,000kg per month at $10/kg means a $200,000 monthly income.

    Investors funding such teams can see 10X ROI within 2 years.

    =

    Final Thoughts: Africa’s Time to Lead

    =

    The world is changing, and so is the business landscape. What used to be seen as waste is now an asset worth billion. African youths must shift their mindset and realize that the future of business lies in innovation, teamwork, and global trade.

    =

    Instead of searching for jobs, why not create an industry that provides jobs? Instead of waiting for investors, why not become the pioneers of a new economic revolution?

    =

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    =

    The powdered eggshell industry is a $1 billion global market and growing.

    African graduates can form teams to market powdered eggshells and build a global brand.

    With the right setup, entrepreneurs can generate $25,000 to $200,000 per month.

    Investors funding this business can earn massive ROI in a short time.

    =

    Africa is rich in resources and young talent—it’s time to use both to create global wealth. Will you be part of this movement?

  • Student loan beneficiaries may hit 2.1m, says NELFUND

    The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, an intervention agency set up by the Federal Government, projected on Tuesday, that the beneficiaries of student loans may hit an estimated 2.1 million.

    The Managing Director of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, disclosed this at the inauguration and induction of members of the SERVICOM unit and committee in Abuja.

    His projection comes one week after data obtained from NELFUND showed that it has disbursed over N104bn to 613,734 students from Nigerian tertiary institutions since inception.

    The disbursed funds encompass institutional fees paid directly to the institutions of applicants and upkeep loans paid directly to the account number provided by the applicants.

    Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Sawyerr explained that with the admission of about 400,000 new entrants this year, the Fund may be anticipating its total number of registrants to reach 2.1 million students.

    He said, “For the people we are responsible for in tertiary institutions that are government-owned such as polytechnics, universities and colleges of education and the bulk of students who will be coming in for the next session, we have estimated our commitment today to these people is somewhere in the range of 2.1m.

    “It is an estimate and it gets bigger than that when we start our skills programme. That is because there we have a lot more. We are expecting that about 400,000 students will be starting this new session.”

    When asked if the Fund would also address the plight of the over 20 million out-of-school children in the country, Sawyerr dismissed the notion.

    According to him, the loan scheme is strictly for students in tertiary institutions in line with the building principles and law.

    “When you look at the Act that set up NELFund, it is very specific that it is for tertiary education. So, while we recognise that there may be 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, the law only allows us to address those who are studying or about to start the course of tertiary institutions owned by the Federal Government and subnationals.

    “So the rest of the population of students is important. Some of them may eventually come into our purview as they get through their education system. But as of today, by law, we are only able to address those at the tertiary level. We have a two-pronged process. Before anyone can apply for a loan, he has to register with us.

    “We have about 417,000 students who have registered on our portals and about 328,000 who have actually applied. Some have been processed, many have been looked at and most of them will get the loan,” he stated.

    Earlier in her address, the National Coordinator and Chief Executive Officer of SERVICOM, Mrs Nnenna Akajemeli, called for teamwork and cooperation among the inductees to make the student loan process a seamless one for the beneficiaries.

    SERVICOM is a Federal Government initiative to promote effective and efficient delivery in ministries, departments and agencies to ensure customer satisfaction and manage performance.

    She said, “Wherever Nigerian students go, they stand out. So we need to continue encouraging them. It is also our job to build the skills of public servants for excellent service delivery.

    “I want to appreciate NELFUND because it has been in constant touch with the SERVICOM office to ensure this programme is a success. For you to go fast, you can walk alone. But to go far, NELFUND needs to walk together as a team.”

    The whistle blew, and the match erupted into a frenzy of sticks, balls, and sprinting players.

    Unfortunately,thefinal whistle blew, our team erupted into a jubilant celebration. We had done it –we had won ! Tears of joy streaming down my face, I hugged my teammates, basking in the glory of our hard-won victory.
