Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has given the task of creating a world class city like the Dubai Model City to the Nigerian Institute of Architects, NIA, Anambra State chapter.

They will, in partnership with the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority, ACTDA, develop an effective urban master plan for the Awka Capital Territory, in addition to building high class and modern architectural structures to add to the beauty of the state.

Speaking to members of the Nigerian Institute of Architects, Anambra State chapter, who visited him at the Governor’s Lodge, Awka, Governor Obiano charged them to be more innovative in their drawings and designs.

The Governor harped on building an orderly and sanitized environment as well as finding the best way to manage environmental waste.

He tasked the NIA members to find solutions that will ensure orderliness and environmental sanitation that would propel sustainable development.

He also asked that they develop a system that would help control land use and institute compliance with space standards and approved designs.

Responding, the State Chairman of NIA, Peter Okpala, commended the Governor for his outstanding commitment towards transforming the Awka Capital Territory.

He also lauded him for ensuring that while transformation was going on, priority was also given to the safety of the lives and property of the
people through the Governor’s handling of the problem of building collapse which erupted in the early days of his administration.

May God help him to do so

It will not work.

Oh my God! I so much love Anambra state.

God bless governor Obiano. May God give him the wisdom, commitment and wherewithal to accomplish this dream.

God bless ndigbo!

The real Ekweme 1(talk and do) in Igbo land. When great men are in power people rejoice.
Wilie is working

I remembered when he was asked during Anambra state governorship election by press men, if he will not be a stooge to his god father, his reply was, watch me!

Mkpi!

Building three flyovers simultaneously, mall, roads, city beatification and and brand new greenwood city in Awka.

Proposed Greenwood city gradually taken shape

Now that's a colourful city... No dirty brown roofs littering the skyline. It would be nice if they fix some street lights and mark the roads though.

Okezie is another one doing something good, last weekend we went to Aba based on our Leader's command, a lot of places are under serious construction.

I hope Ponponpon uploads pictures, especially the work along Aba Owerri road.

^^^My sentiments also! It may be a bit too early in the day to start judging, but it doesn't look like they've hit the ground running since being sworn in! I'm not impressed with what i've seen and heard so far from Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi, and most especially Abia! Governance in these states appear to be going back to their default setting of 'governance of eye-service and media'! No economic blueprint yet nor talk of investments coming into the states to create employment opportunities for the youths!

^^^Nice effort FK081!

Any design or 3D renders of this new estate? I think a lot of compensation and tearing down of existing buildings has to be done first before any serious headway can be made of turning Awka into a world-class city! We're talking of at least 3 billion dollars here!

He should work and stop shouting!

No I don't have it, but rest assured I'll source for it and post it probably in Anambra thread. Thanks!

@OP

Stop posting pictures of neighbourhoods in anambra making it seem like the government that got inaugurated last year was the one that built the houses own by individuals.

Nice dream.

Am proud of my Governor Obiano.
