The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has revealed that he once made about N10 million every month from his akara business before joining politics.
The governor shared the experience while speaking about his journey from business to public service, according to Punch.
Eno said the business was successful and provided him with a steady source of income before he became involved in politics.
He explained that he started the business at a time when he was looking for ways to support himself and build a better future.
According to him, the experience taught him important lessons about hard work, business management and dealing with people.
The governor said his experience in business also helped shape his approach to leadership and governance.
Eno’s story has attracted attention because akara, a common Nigerian snack, is often seen as a small-scale business, yet he said his own operation generated millions of naira monthly.
He encouraged Nigerians, especially young people, to take business opportunities seriously and remain committed to their goals.
The governor said his journey showed that success can come from starting small and building a business through dedication and proper management.
