The Enugu State Government has ordered all mechanics in the state capital to relocate to the Mechanic Village built for them by the government.

The State Commissioner for Capital Territory Development, Ikechukwu Ugwuegede, gave the order in Enugu on Friday.

"As we speak, the mechanic village is ready for them to move in.  From next week, we are going to remove all abandoned vehicles which are clogging our roads.

"So we intend to make the roads that we have built with our lean resources available for everybody. Nobody is allowed to convert a residential lot into a mechanic activity because he or she has not gotten space from his union in the mechanic village,” Ugwuegede said.

He said that the ministry was in touch with the mechanic union for the provision of spaces to its members and had begun towing vehicles either wrongly parked on roads or abandoned.

The Commissioner also warned motorists against indiscriminate parking of cars, saying that offenders would be made to pay fines.

On the deadline for the movement, the commissioner said it was a continuous process as efforts were being made to provide more spaces for the mechanics.

He explained that the ministry was in charge of the development of local governments in the capital city including, Enugu East, North and South councils.

"Our job is to ensure that infrastructures provided by government are properly used. We want to make this city attractive and conducive for investors."

The capital territory development ministry is one of the four new ministries created by Governor Sullivan Chime’s administration in his second tenure.

Good job. Enugu is not my home but I hopefully want to live there.
My cousins live there at the moment.

ibo people and their low self esteem sha. This is a freeking garage abi work shed. Why do you people use bogus and ridiculous nonsense like mega, massive, huge, best in the world?

Who are you people fooling? Yourselves of course,

Well Mr. Eko, thank you for reminding us that it's a garage, the low esteem and how we're fooling ourselves, Anything else? Now, if you have nothing else to say, save your complex for the next thread about "ibo" success. LOL, LLS,

@OP, great job to Mr. Chime, that's wasup he's doing something for his state patriotic citizens

^^ Eko ile, tell us which one have u seen that is better than it? i dont think its best in the world but in Africa. . .  im afraid i wud have to say yes.

Nice, I guess this would reduce mechanics on the road side and also quake mechanics

although Macjieve, what would be the advantage of this development to Enugu state ?

@Eko "ole", must u tell us dat u ve got no home training? U always sound pathetic with ur delusional post all d time. Someone is celebrating the achievement of his state governor and u all u ve to say was d crap dat u just dropped. Aint u d fool*lish dude dat was eulogizing BRF for buying scrapped Canadian city trains? I think u just escaped from a psychiatric home. Ewu ohia.

The socioeconomic and environmental impact to Enugu state; that's an advantage.

Hmmm manny4life, I do understand the environmental impact given that normal mechanics pour there oil waste in water ways etc

I am not too sure of the socio-economic Impact.

please explain

Great that you understand the environmental aspect, 

I will start with the social aspect before the economic aspect

The social aspect comes to play when you have these men and women who are mechanics, come together under one umbrella for a common purpose. They share ideas perhaps on further improving working conditions, work-related complaints and comments amongst themselves with their unions, assistance of each other, perhaps volunteering, exploring different diversity, it can improve on mechanic education ----peer-to-peer mentoring etc. I mean the opportunity is endless i.e. if they utilize their time and resources judiciously.

Economic --- It promotes healthy competition such as better offering of goods and services, removal of  or lesser restrictions to newer entrants, easy regulation of mechanics including certification, increase in knowledge, experience, improvement to personal finances, etc

I cannot begin to list so many things but I hope u get the idea

Good question.

There are Mechanic Villages @ Orji and Nekede road,both are "just there"(being very nice with words)

nekede and orji are the same as ENUGU?

is there any resemblance in their spelling, love ?

abi if I no understand i have to ask na

Hmmm thank a lot

I see, it means this is actually a good initiative then. Kudos for this

the pictures, does it deplete the real working condition in the autovillage or a random picture ?

@Alh.Haram, d economic advantage is dat a proper revenue will be generated and accounted for from d mechanic village. Why i said so is bc, mechanics don't pay tax. The funny thing is dat u can't get them (whether with olokpa or not). Most of d time when I goes to d mechanic workshop to get my wheels done, u will see them taking on their heels. Why? cos olokpa is after them coz of tax evasion. So putting them in dis mechanic village will surely help d state government to contain such. My two cents shaa

Don't you people have dealer service workshops whereby if your car gets broken you take it back to where you bought it so that they can fix it under the manufacture warranty

In Nigeria? Yeah right? I doubt that they do, in all honesty if they do, I will be very much surprised.

No problem, like @okstol said, taxes, I did not know that Mechanics pay taxes , but he raised a good point.

@ paniki, abegi, carry ur south-african wahala comot here. . . lol

Oh Chim.

Point is,it's not yet uhuru till the work is completed,the village functioning and perharps a realtime "image" of the new ultra modern complex is posted.
Nekede and Orji are both mechanic villages and they are both an eyesore.

The afore mentioned benefits of a mechanic village aside,I personally think its a good inititative as it would keep those guys in cheeck.I've lost counts of number of times i've had to run at sighting some mechanics.Some of them just don't give a hoot about their appreance.tattered clothes,charcoal black bodies,dirty unwashed hair and carrying a heavy metal too,hmmn.Lawdhavemercy.

chime is correct guy i like his way , 

I am happy that my suggestion to my state govt got approved and is being worked on. The advantages are numerous.UP CHIME

Your people have warranty for "tokumbo" cars and/or how many new cars do you see on Naija roads

@Ify, u are totally spot on.

Now can Anambrea State governor pls borrow a leaf from Chime his next door neighbour if he claims he doesn't know how to develop a state. I don't know if I can gather enough courage to visit that state again as from Onitsha to the HQ;Awka are the filthiest eyesore I've ever seen coupled with unending gully erosion all along the federal highway.

@POST

Did governor Chime make provision for constant power supply to the mechanic village? Without steady supply of electrical power, the place could be turned into junkyard in a month.

this is great!!

paniki,
those are oyinbo men I see in your pics. are you sure that's enugu? Or is this for white mechanics?
