What Uche Sampson Ogah Will Do In Regional Integration

Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah is a dynamic entrepreneur, technocrat and savvy public administrator who understands the intricacies and inner workings of economic systems, indices and parameters and have used his wealth of experience in that regard to contribute meaningfully to the lives of people in various environments.

In office as Governor of Abia State, backed by the popular will of the masses in Abia State and equipped with the experience and knowledge he has garnered over the years, Dr. Uche Ogah as captured in his policy document, will lead the charge for rapid and sustained institutionalization of symbiotic relations among states within the south east region in order to develop areas of comparative advantage with Abia State as a nexus.

With Dr. Ogah priming this move in the region, humongous benefits will be unlocked with sustainable wealth and infrastructural development that will leapfrog Abia State and the entire South East to global economic frontiers. When achieved, this experience will sustainably ensure that the south east region maintains its aspirational posture of greatness in all ramifications and economic metrics with attendant wealth distributed to all and sundry within the zone leading to a net positive subnational contribution to Nigeria’s GDP.

The regional integration plan of Dr. Ogah will see to the rise of transportation modes across south east states for ease in movement of goods and people, establishment of processing zones in accordance with competitive advantage, development of manufacturing hubs for ease of exportation, common market and trade indices and unified seamless processes to boost commerce and industry with the famed Asian Tigers as inspiration. Indeed when in effect, this experience will indeed stir up replicas of the transcendent Korean Chaebols in the south east region and will tremendously boost the wealth of the region to astronomical levels.

So far it is only Dr. Ogah who is championing ideas that would extend beyond Abia State. It is not surprising indeed as the man has always maintained a stance of quantum development just as Dr. M. I. Okpara, Premier of then Eastern Nigeria. Dr. Ogah’s outlook on regional integration will see to massive spread of development in the region with Abia State serving as a hub for predetermined enterprises.
