Blessing Emah is an
undergraduate of the University of Uyo, who sells ekpangnkukwo, a local
delicacy in Akwa Ibom State. She took up
the business when her parents died leaving her to cater of her younger
siblings.
According to
Facebook user,Harrison Essien, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel
recently donated the sum of N1 million to help further empower her business.
Read his post below: "While many young Nigerian graduates are roaming the
streets in search of white collar jobs, she used her cooking skills learnt from
her mother to prepare ekpangnkukwo, Akwa Ibom's most sought after delicacy.
Unfortunately, she
lost her parents at a very tender age and as an orphan, life was extremely
difficult for her, as she was unable to further her education to the university
level and take care of her younger siblings.
Expectedly, her friends mocked her, calling her a school drop-out, but
like an eagle, she remained focus in order to achieve her target. Instead of
forming a slay Queen on the social media or jumping from one man to another for
survival, she borrowed N20,000 and startup the ekpangnkukwo business.
At a time that many
young girls sleep in the comfort of their homes doing make-up or visiting
prayer houses for miracles, she explored every available opportunity in the
State just to showcase her cooking talents and market her products. Today, because she is consistent and
outstanding in her business, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel has
appreciated her efforts and donated N1m as a financial empowerment to her. The
young millionaire is my Facebook friend, Miss Blessing Emah, a student of the
University of Uyo.
