[00:49:16]ation that was held on the 1st of May 2026.

[00:49:26]The governor announced the recruitment of additional 1,000 primary school teachers who will help to rejig the primary school curriculum to align it with the everchanging world where ICT is the bedrock of growth. grow and knowledge.

[00:50:00]The governor says, "I should let you know that he will continue to invest in education so we may prepare our children to compete in the marketplace of ideas, innovations, and requisite skills necessary for growth.

[00:50:29]and advancement.

[00:50:33]We are regularly paying the buzzeries to students in tertiary institutions and also constructing the schools, renovating some other buildings.

[00:50:54]That's the contribution of the governor of Aqua states towards the development of the education sector.

[00:51:08]The second commissioning is where we are the 11 kilome to a de one crossing autan to ubium.

[00:51:36]So it's going on.

[00:51:40]The governor of Aqua State gave me a written remark concerning the commissioning of the 11 kilometer road. So you permit me to present the remark from the governor of Aqua State.

[00:52:04]Though the voice you're hearing is that of the deputy governor.

[00:52:13]Once more I welcome all of you.

[00:52:17]Today we are gathered here for the commissioning of this road that has a significant place in the heart of administration.

[00:52:33]This road, you may recall, was part of the first rural access road that I flaged off shortly after my inauguration.

[00:52:48]In my remarks on that day, I had said that the flag off of this project signpost are determined efforts to open up our rural areas.

[00:53:03]Promote the free flow of goods, especially agricultural produce.

[00:53:12]Thus helps stimulate the economy of our people in rural areas which is a key component of our rural development angle of our rise agenda.

[00:53:32]Permit me to thank our development partners, the World Bank and the French Development Bank for partnering with us to execute this project.

[00:53:51]Work is currently ongoing in a number of similar roads spread across several local government areas of our state all part of the rural access and agricultural marketing project RAM. I'm happy that our partners before we got here had gone round to see the progress of work ongoing and that they are impressed with what is going on. We are determined to connect this state seamlessly with an economically viable road network.

[00:54:45]Today we have constructed 1,300 kilometers of road and 40 bridges across all the three senatorial districts and 10 federal constituencies of this state.

[00:55:06]I make bold to state that there is no local government area that we do not have an ongoing project whether in healthcare, education, road and other lifech changing projects.

[00:55:30]Agriculture which the commissioning of this road will help enhance remains a major area of interest and development in line with our promise to ignite agricultural revolution in the state.

[00:55:53]A little over a week ago, we commissioned the first of its kind agricultural equipment leasing company in the state aimed at raising the bar in the production of our stable foods from subsistence to mechanized levels.

[00:56:21]The net result of this would be the massive production of a stable foods for aing population at a cost they can all afford.

[00:56:40]Thus helping ensure food sufficiency.

[00:56:45]We have partnered with Aqua Bomb State University to work with us on the work we are doing at the bomb model farm. Soon we will flag of our palm oil three crop revolution.

[00:57:05]A bold and visionary initiative aimed at creating gener generational wealth for our rural dwellers and restore again the role of palm oil in economic lives.

[00:57:27]Palm oil was before the advent of crude oil, our black gold.

[00:57:36]We are equally embarking on other 85 audacious project spanning healthcare, tourism, infrastructure, aviation amongst others.

[00:57:56]I want to add by saying that we are very happy today that again a quai state is setting the pace for other states to follow.

[00:58:15]The director that spoke emphasized that Aqua State has set the standard and this is the first states that they are commissioning the road project.

[00:58:37]In everything we do, we set the standard in aquaomb state and others follow. That goes to proof the vision, the commitment, the desire of the governor of Aqua State to take Aqua State from the land of promise to the land of fulfillment and above all the peace that we enjoy in the state. Aquaomb United will enable investors from across the globe to come to Aquaomb state to invest. So once more, I want to thank and appreciate the contractors that did the road that did the constructed um the school uh building and also to appreciate the community, the youth for standing by the contractors to ensure that the project is delivered on time. May God bless you all with this. There's the assurance that more projects will come to you in the second term of Governor Omino.
