Yakurr is one of the most populous local government areas in Cross River Central, anchored by Ugep and home to the Federal Polytechnic, Ugep. Its size and its student population make it central to any serious plan for jobs, skills and technical education in the district.
Farming, trading and a large youth and student population built around Ugep and its satellite communities.
These priorities are drawn from the People’s Legislative Agenda and applied to the realities of Yakurr Local Government Area.
Work with the NBTE, the Federal Polytechnic, Ugep and stakeholders to position the institution as a national leader in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and emerging technology programmes, and to pursue strategic international academic affiliations.
Push the Youth Entrepreneurship Development Fund and skills acquisition tied to real employment opportunities so graduates and school leavers in Ugep are not left waiting for government jobs.
Legislative advocacy and oversight for federal road rehabilitation, potable water schemes and federal support for rural markets serving Ugep and surrounding communities.
Revitalisation of primary and rural health facilities, plus the bill for a Federal Medical Centre in Central Cross River State so families are not forced to travel for serious care.
