GOVERNOR UMO ENO’S SCORECARD THAT WILL DELIVER VICTORY AT THE 2027 POLLS (1)

ARISE BUSINEPPORT: THE TRADERS AND ENTREPRENEURS WHO WILL VOTE AND MOBILISE FOR GOVERNOR UMO ENO AND THE APC

On the economic empowerment of traders and entrepreneurs, Governor Umo Eno has done more than he promised, exceeding his commitments through the ARISE Traders Grant and the ARISE MSME Grant.

‘’The 2 billion Naira loan earlier granted to traders who have stalls in the market is now a grant.’’
— Governor Umo Eno, 2025 Budget Address

Under the ARISE Traders Grant, ₦2 billion was set aside for validated traders across the 31 Local Government Areas, while the ARISE MSME Grant provides ₦5 million each to selected entrepreneurs. The interventions have reached people across the state’s 10 federal constituencies. The wider Town Square empowerment programme recorded 7,688 beneficiaries, with grants and other support valued at over ₦10 billion.

Governor Umo Eno also made his commitment to the growth of small and medium-scale businesses clear.

‘’We remain dedicated to growing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises as the engine of economic growth.’”
— Governor Umo Eno, 2025 Budget Address

Beneficiaries of the schemes are traders and entrepreneurs who know what the interventions have meant to their businesses. They have openly expressed their appreciation to Governor Umo Eno for the gesture and the support extended to them.

During the campaigns, the Governor will not have much to say about his achievements. His administration’s excellent and verifiable scorecard on economic empowerment schemes will speak for itself. The beneficiaries of these schemes will be very loud and passionate in drumming up support for his re-election to sustain the good work. They will speak from their own experience, mobilise their families, friends, associates and fellow traders, and vote massively for Governor Umo Eno and the APC in 2027.
