He also said Sabah must shift from the low value commodity-based economy to one of high value and innovative that was knowledge- based.
Tun Juhar said the dependence on several major commodities alone would not strengthen the state’s economy. And, he also stressed the need for development of the industrial and service sectors.
As a state that is rich with natural resources, I believe Sabah has the edge to further develop these two sectors,” he added.

Commending the Chief Minister (Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman) on his efforts to develop the oil and gas industry, the Governor also extended his appreciation to the Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak) for his support.
Tun Juhar said he was confident that with the commitment of the state government and the support and assistance of the federal government, the huge investment in the oil and gas sector would certainly boost Sabah’s economic growth.
“And this will also help ensure the success of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) in the state,” he added.
Tun Juhar also said RM77.5 billion was needed to carry out 31 entry point projects (EPPs) in Sabah.
He said the federal government would provide eight per cent of the amount to assist the private sector to kick off the projects.
“A comprehensive implementation plan for each of EPP is ready and I urge the private sector to seize the opportunity to invest in these EPP projects,” he said.
The EPPs, Tun Juhar said, would create 144,000 jobs by 2020.
He also said the federal government has allocated RM459.2 million to help start six high-impact projects worth RM5.15 billion.
The Governor added that the projects under the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) had been implemented smoothly, with 98.4 per cent of the RM100.4 million allocation utilised last year.
And according to him, Sabah’s financial standing was strong as a result of competent and efficient management as well as proactive steps undertaken by the state government.
Meanwhile, Tun Juhar said Sabah had already spent 75.5 per cent of the state allocation and 74.9 per cent of federal allocation to undertake development projects last year.
