Group Tasks Jonathan On Local Industries

A women group within

the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to extend his economic transformation programme to local industries, if elected president in the coming 2011 April polls.

Speaking on behalf of the women in an interview with The Tide during the PDP Presidential Campaign rally in Port Harcourt, last Saturday, the Cross River State, PDP  women leader, Chief Mrs. Theresa Ezama, said they have confidence in the person and ability of President Jonathan to perform.

According to her, “the President has started well, and will do very well. The power failure has reduced, the price of fuel is uniform every where and the supply stable, and the roads are being tackled. I can tell you that even the unborn babies appreciate Jonathan”.

Having started well in these areas, the other thing we will like him to tackle and such that will benefit the women folk is the revival of the local industries like the cottage industries in the processing of local raw materials like rubber, palm and cassava among others, since the bulk of the women reside in the rural areas.
