Way back 2012 QUOTE: GOVERNOR AKPABIO
HAS PRUDENTLY MANAGED RESOURCES
BELONGING TO THE STATE - EMIR SANUSI

By Timi Larry Adeola
Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Mallam Sanusi
Lamido Sanusi. Now Emir Sanusi.
Speaking at the investiture ceremony for the
naming of Chief Godswill Akpabio as Silverbird
Television’s Man of the Year 2012 Award, Central
Bank of Nigeria governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, said the award was well deserved
because Governor Akpabio has prudently
managed resources belonging to the state.
Said Sanusi, “I have the utmost respect for
Governor Akpabio because of how he has
managed the economy of the state since he
became governor. Governor Akpabio is one of
the very few governors who have prudently
managed state resources. I know some people
would say that he has more money and that is
why he is doing all that, but let me also tell you
that there are people that would collect more
than what he is collecting and they would have
nothing to show for it.”
Speaking further, Sanusi said, “Nigeria’s
economy needs infrastructure and that is what
Akpabio is doing in his state. He is providing hard
and soft infrastructure; he is preparing the state
for future economic boom.”
Responding in his acceptance Speech after the
investiture, Governor Akpabio said, “I am
delighted to be honoured today by the Silverbird
Group as their Man of the Year. My being
honoured today alongside great achievers like
Gen Yakubu Gowon, Gen TY Danjuma and Gen
Mohammadu Buhari makes me value this award
the more.”
