I don't think anybody is saying Enugu is now paradise on earth. There remains a lot of work to be done but the efforts so far should be commended. Enugu, Lagos, Rivers and Akwa Ibom( the land of pretty girls ) states have governors that seem serious about their jobs.

Thank you for confirming that there is still nothing to celebrate.

Who say Enugu dey work

What is the reason for your optimism?

I know you might not feel like weeping now, but come back 20 years later and watch how things are, you may cry blood and not tears then. When people will be sleeping on the streets.

C'mon man there are always people sleeping on the streets in virtually every country in the world. 

Are you guys really saying that the governor of Enugu is not performing? I thought he was said to be among one of the best out there. How come your views are different?

I dont know why nigerians count governors building structures for government, including an office for the governor's wife, as development but it's not

Lolllllllllllll

I was born and i grew up in Enugu, Abapka Nike to be precise and i can tell you that Enugu is really working. Had it been that past governors of the state did half of what Sullivan Chime is doing in Enugu State, Enugu will have been competing with Abuja. And those of you posting pictures of slums in Enugu, there is no where in this country that you dont have slums even in the federal capital Abuja. Go to places like Idu/Karimo, Kuje, Gwagwalada etc, and you will see places worst than those pictures. So please to all you haters of Sullivan Chime our beloved governor of Enugu state, he is the best governor ever to rule Enugu state. ENUGU STATE IS WORKING.

Hate is a strong word, so think twice before using it. And, before you go on, think a bit. You were born in Abakpa Nike, well I own properties there and one of Sullivan's new road passes in front of my property, however, those hundreds of thousands who have no hope of owning any decent house, of what use is the road?
What is his plans for housing, since this thread is about his housing schemes, it doesnt help to build a few duplexes for the mega rich, (N35 million a house) while the squalid poor languish in surroundings that will make a pig sick!
If you blind him with praises, he will become complacent and relax, tell him that I said he needs to improve, that the majority are still homeless and poor. Maybe he will read this one day.

Even though I am not given to praising the political operatives in Nigeria, please I urge you to give praises to whom it is due. Even in the God’s own country such as USA, there are ghettoes that would make an inoculated pig suffer dysentery too.

In one of the previous posts, one loony injected a sort of comparison between Chime and Fashola. Anyway, I must say that Fashola is one, if not, most overrated governor in Nigeria. Any goat, even without pouring cement into hole in Lagos, will look good as governor of once federal capital city turned into a state called Lagos State.

Beauty.

What exactly are the roles of the governor's wife to have a whole building for her office - it is just an avenue to milk more funds from the state treasury.

Funny enough, the pictures have names and all I see have 'government' before or after them: 'Government Lodge', 'Government House', 'Governor's wife's Building', which of the propaganda-d buildings belong(s) to the masses?

Don't fall for media hype

When it comes to housing, I think Jigawa wins every other states in that category hands down!!! even lagos!!!

HAS ANYONE BEEN TO ENUGU BEFORE GOV CHIME CAME INTO POWER? IF U HAVE BEEN TO ENUGU THEN AND YOU VISIT NOW, YOU WILL KNOW THAT THE GOV CHIME IS REALLY DOING HIS BEST.

ENUGU IS NOT A COMMERCIAL PLACE LIKE LAGOS- THERE ARE NOT MUCH COMPANIES IN ENUGU TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT- ENUGU IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COME TO RELAX AFTER HUSTLING IN LAGOS AND OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA.


ENUGU HAS MAINLY HOTELS AND JOINTS WHERE PEOPLE GO TO HANG OUT- WITH ABOUT FIVE UNIVERSITIES IN THE STATE AND A LOT OF FEMALE STUDENTS, IT HAS BECOME A TOURIST DESTINATION FOR MEN WHO WANT TO RELAX AND ENJOY THEIR WEEKEND WITH SOME FEMALE COMPANY.

BESIDES COAL- THE ONLY RESOURCES THAT IS GENERATING MONEY IN ENUGU STATE NOW IS "GIRL" YES GIRLS. THAT WHY ALL THE HOTELS IN ENUGU ARE FULL BY THE WEEKEND.


THE GOVERNOR HAS TRIED BY GIVING OUT TAXI CARS TO PEOPLE TO PAY INSTALLMENT, I MEAN YOU DONT EXPECT A STATE GOVT TO GO INTO BUSINESS OR BUILD FACTORIES, ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

SULLIVAN CHIME IS ONE IF NOT THE BEST GOVERNOR IN THE EAST.

The most shallow and. Petty people on the face ot the earth. This is really sad.

So what happens when Nigeria breaks apart? Will they repaint everything?


As for those saying it's strictly for the rich, ehrrm duh! Everything starts with the rich, till it reaches the middle classes, maybe never the poor. That's how it starts, the rich develops a society.

better rebrand enugu 'short time state'

Tarring few kilometers of roads and renovating existing building does not give the gov a pass mark. When you move a little bit from enugu capital you will understand that enugu state is still very backward in terms of infrastructural development. Places like udi, oji river, nsukka and almost all the rural communities are almost cut off from each other. There is so much to be done in enugu state, the gov should not concentrate only in the urban center thereby leaving the outskirt to wallow in poverty and inaccessibility.

^you are really a case, you attack both your pple and others,

"office building for governor's wife"

that is development?

ezeagu: Beauty.

Enugu bu egwu eji. One of these days I will make out time to take few more pictures around town. There are a lot more structures now (Independence layout, Trans-ekulu, etc)

Ekwenugooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Soon I will be updating this thread with more updates.

I think government is for all, both the poor and rich. Why is it that most of these housing estates are not targeted towards the poor in the society? The cost of these houses are so exorbitant that they are purchased by mostly politicians and drug/oil barons, while the common and average man in the society keep living in a suburb areas. They say housing for all (MDGs).

That is what happens when both Government and Private investor are looking for a quick cash when embarking on projects like these. I wish the government will explore more housing options that favours the poor too (like 3 to 5 stories smaller living units - imagine 10 buildings occupying 2 plots each, with Room and Parlour self-contain apartments) - It will take more occupants and be affordable too.
