Edet Amana

"I am not only worried but I am also proactive about what needs to be done to change the present trend in the poor education standard in this country."

"I believe the overall nature of things in the country affect a lot of things including education because in those days especially in the 1950s, we didn’t hear of students having to pay to pass examinations. We didn’t hear of people having to buy result for admission as everything was done purely on merit."

"Q: What inspired you to establish Amana consortium Limited? A: The inspiration for the establishment of Amana Consortium is my passion for creative design from childhood. I have been intrigued by inspirational engineering design."

"Q: What is your contribution to the economic growth of Nigeria? A: My contribution to the economic growth of Nigeria derives from the different areas of my engagement as an economic citizen. First, in the area of engineering practice, as the CEO of Amana Consortium, I have directed the engineering study, design and construction supervision of about 600 projects all over the country."

"Over the years, I have trained and mentored hundreds of engineers and managers who have worked in our offices or listened to my lectures."
