Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has recounted how he ventured into the sale of akara and bread, saying the business generated not less than ₦10 million for him every month.
“We still have that shop there, and I started selling akara and bread. We were doing bread and akara burger. We opened the bread and put akara in it for you,” Eno said.
He explained that workers heading to work would buy the akara and bread in the morning, alongside coffee from a coffee shop he also started.
“People going to work at ExxonMobil would buy it in the morning and take coffee. We started a coffee shop, and then they would take it every morning,” he said.
According to him, the akara and bread business became a significant source of income, generating at least ₦10 million monthly.
“That akara business and that bread used to give me not less than ten million naira, not less than that,” Eno said.
