The special assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel on Entertainment Industry, David Sageant popularly known as Utang Akwa Ibom is currently on a working visit to Africa's entertainment and commercial capital, Lagos, to seek partnership with stakeholders and investors in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
On the trip, the Master of Ceremony and Broadcaster met with the leaderships of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PM AN) and executive of companies like Tecno Mobile and Afrizone Marketing & Communication Limited with a good record of sponsoring entertainment events in Nigeria.
In all of the meetings, the Governor's aide registered the willingness of his boss, Governor Udom Emmanuel to give adequate support to stakeholders and practitioners in the industry, considering it as a high employer of Labour for the youth and an income earner.
He said ' Governor Udom Emmanuel is one of the few Governors who found it necessary to appoint an aide on the Entertainment Industry, he has even gone further to appoint a good number of entertainers into his cabinet. My self, my brother Godfada Uko as SA on Project Monitoring, my sister Ini Edo who is SA on Tourism, Okon Lagos as SA on Social Reorientation, Moses Armstrong as SA on Agriculture, to name but a few.
Since resumption of my appointment, steps have been taken to ensure a vibrant industry in the state and all sectors keyed into the vision.
Akwa Ibom State boasts of an industry with approximately 100, 000 practitioners/service providers in a state of about 3 Million people.
Akwa Ibom is also Africa's undiscovered choice tourism destination, suitable for business and pleasure, which is why many organizations have considered Uyo, the capital for their national and international conferences and concerts'.
The Governor's aide was presented with souvenirs and assured of the necessary support to ensure that Akwa Ibom state takes its rightful place in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
