2 min read
Many Akalites today have been able to demonstrate their love and akatriotism for Umuaka and her people. These people are found in many cities of the world doing amazingly great things. They re businessmen, medical experts, scholars, students, sportsmen and women and more. All these people are indeed doing great but today, Umuaka Times will showcase another group of people who are also doing great things in Umuaka community.
These people are our local investors who have against all odds, established their companies and businesses in Akaland. They know very well that if they had established such companies in the cities, they would be making more money but they preferred to bring home their wealth and industries, create jobs and develop the community. Umuaka Times has named these fellows “Ndi Aku Ruo Ulo,” (indigenous Industrialists). They are amazing sons and daughters of Umuaka worthy of being celebrated. The establishments of these businesses in Umuaka has created an enabling environment which has created employments and wealth as well. Umuaka Times salutes the courage and foresight of these captains of industries among us.
This recognition is hereby made in order to encourage, thank and give these men a high sense of belonging. Besides this recognition, it is believed that this publication will serve as a motivation for other Akalites to emulate.
Umuaka Times uses this opportunity to salute immensely all the business men and women, comprising sellers of different goods and providers of various services in the entire 10 villages of Umuaka, despite how small or big their businesses may be.
