Engr. Ben Etim Akak, a businessman, philanthropist cum politician is set to break another record today in Cross River State with the opening of the largest bread factory in the South Southern region of the Country.
Engr. Akak who had once boasted of being the second-highest single employer of labour after government in Cross River State said his group of companies can boast of over 6000 Cross Riverians in its payroll.
Having bought over High Quality Bakery which is the oldest bread-producing company in Cross River state last year, Ben Akak repositioned high quality in the sector as it was awarded as the baker of the year by Flour Mill Company last year in Lagos.
Today, High Quality Bakery is said to be the only bakery in the region who still maintains best practices in terms of baking standard without cutting corners to suits market trend and high cost of production.
The management of High-Quality Bakery have experienced several forms of reforms with staff now smiling to the bank as their salaries have also experienced an increase with several incentives and motivations.
Today, to add to it's feathers and growth, High Quality Bakery will be inaugurating another Factory. In fact it is said to be the biggest bread factory in South-South Nigeria.
What this means for Cross Riverians is that more young persons will be employed, more families will have a means of livelihood and more youths will be taken off the street as these will also add to the GDP of the State as well as boost the economy.
For Engr. Ben Akak, he believes the only way to add value to a man is by taking the man to the river to fish for himself aside the daily donation of fishes.
His goal and dream is to ensure as many Cross Riverians as possible are taken off the street of unemployment. Job creation according to him is a cardinal feature in the development of Cross River State that is why he has situated almost all his business concerns in the state.
