The problem of policing in Nigeria will persist until they decentralize policing, until then just forget all about effective policing..

Ehandiagu -Eha- Alumona: A neglected community sitting on highly -needed mineral resources
Mineral resources
The development of any country has often been tipped by experts to depend largely on rural communities which in most cases , is blessed with lots of mineral resources. These resources, it is believed when explored , extracted and utilized reshape the nation’ s economic, political and social system, thereby bringing such country to international limelight .
Ehandiagu-Eha- Alumona community, in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State , is one of such priceless communities blessed with mineral resources which, if well harnessed , could contribute meaningfully to the development of Enugu State and the country at large.
Sprawled across 5000 acres of land and an estimated 3000 residents, Ehandiagu is a community flowing with the proverbial milk and honey. The community - which is surrounded by neighbouring towns like : Mbu , Neke, Ikem in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of the State - is endowed with both human and mineral resources, which earn it the bragging right of being “the food basket of Enugu State .”
The community is one of the largest communities in Nsukka LGA. Resources buried under its ground include: crude oil , coal , clay and limestone. It also has palm oil, honey , cashew plantation which spanned over 50 hectares of land , plantain and banana plantations, yam , garri, orange and the likes.
Such avalanches of resources at the community’s disposal are enough to boost the state’ s economy as by 25 per cent. For instance, the large deposit of crude oil estimated to last for 50 years, it was gathered, has about 30 per cent petrol and 70 per cent natural gas.
Considering the fact that crude oil is the mainstay of the Nigerian economy, and the recognition the federal government gives to any oil producing state in the country, Ehandiagu-Eha-Alumona community has what it takes to transform Enugu State if the state government develops the area and promotes what it has to the government at the centre .
The crude oil in the area will not only provide financial blossom in the state , but also delete the state’ s name from the book of unemployment- which in recent times has escalated and has been tipped by many to be the cause of society ’s menace like terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery among others . When the youths are therefore gainfully employed, it would increase tax payable to the government- resulting to increased Internally Revenue Generation ( IGR) of the state .
Also, the crude oil in the state will increase Enugu State ’s quota in terms of allocation it attracts from the federation account .
Beyond the crude oil, the community has an answer to other aspect of economic , political and social development in the state. The inestimable quantity of coal in the community is 5 per cent capable of bolstering the coal-economic-driven system of the state , which is already known as “COAL CITY ” State and the development agenda of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
In addition , Ehandiagu- Eha-Alumona has an informal agro- based industry, having as much as 80 per cent agricultural products in quantum. The community is said to be the highest honey producing community in Nsukka Zone of the state — where almost every family produces honey in large quantity without stress. The cashew plantation covers more than 50 hectares of land while plantain and banana plantation cover over 80 hectares of land .
According to Elder John Nnaji, the community produces inestimable quantity of palm oil , yam and garri . He noted the reason for the large quantity is the availability of large farmlands which afford every member of the community opportunity to farm as much as he/ she can. It was learnt that about a thousand acres of farmlands lie almost untouched in the community. He further revealed that clay used for production of ceramic utensils is hugely available in the community .
With these mineral and agricultural resources , Ehandiagu-Eha- Alumona is unarguably a custodian of economic solution to Enugu State and Nigeria at large .
In spite of the numerous resources at the community’s disposal , the community is plagued with many challenges which have retarded the development of the area.
One of the major challenges facing the community is lack of good roads. Journeying to the community is always a grave experience to the villagers.
Lamenting the ordeals of the community, the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) Chairman , Ehandiagu Ward, Elder Alexander Ezugwurie Ossai said: “The major problem we have in this community is lack of accessible road. We have everything but the condition of our road is terrible. Nobody comes to this place in rainy season because you will not even see where to follow when going back .”
Continuing, he said, “The deplorable condition of the road has caused us many things . For instance, surveyors from Shanghai came last year to survey lands for farming , and among all the land surveyed , ours was the best but every progress and continuation of that programme was hindered by bad road. ”
Elder Ossai said that the whole resources are wasting because there is no way they can transport them to urban areas where they can get the real price of their products.
He noted that between 1960 s and 1970 s , the road was the only access through which they used to transport cements from Nkalagu in Ebonyi State to University of Nigeria, Nsukka . He added that while it takes only 45 minutes then to travel to town, people can spend more than two hours now due to the state of the road.
Apart from the economic downturn in the area as a result of bad road, Ossai said most residents of the community live in fear of death due to lack of good health facilities, adding that a lot of their women die during child delivery.
“There is no government hospital in this community, rather , we only have five health centres but none of them has even a single doctor let alone offering a reasonable health services. Whenever there is any case of delivery, there will be no health worker ( s) to help and because of the bad state of our road , many of them die before you could reach where you can get health assistance, ” he said.
In the same vein , it was gathered that the state of the roads had also made the community a no-go -area for private investors who intend to visit the area . Speaking in an interview, the youth leader of the community , Mr . Agbo Chikadibia recounted how Geo-Kinetic Oil Company had come to the community having discovered oil in the land, but were discouraged by the road leading to the community which they believe would cost them too much in attempting to repair .

Your so riight about the building. I hate how theres no creativity with the buildings. How can u build a school to end up looking like a house? Same goes with the way most of these hospitals are built. And i dont get why its all littered around like that. But i love what they are trying to do.

Yes! Rangers International, The Pride of the East, are the most interesting team so far this season. Not only in terms of football but generally everything associated with the round leather. I will take my time to take round for you to see what I mean.

Now the administrative structure of this club has improved greatly unlike what is obtained two or three season ago. Thanks to the sports loving Governor whose immense contributions towards rebranding the club is evident and commendable.

In a bid to show how committed they are, the State government released a very huge amount in the tone of 34 million Naira for the execution of the Federation Cup. The club reciprocated by toppling Akure city 2-0 in Round 64 fixture that held in Abuja.

At Rangers, commercial department has also witnessed change as new initiatives is playing off. For instance, the introduction of Rangers Table water in a 30 thousand capacity Stadium is a very huge investment that every good business man will love to venture.

Also the introduction of Popcorn is a way of generating funds at home matches that has experienced a turnaround since this season began.

The latest is the introduction of Night matches by the League Management Company (LMC) which is laudable initiative that have seen clubs like Rangers massively benefited from it.

Massive turnout in Enugu during night matches has also contributed to the club skyrocketed revenue generation. Players get their salaries as at when due, match bonuses are no longer delay as before.

Fans enjoy Rangers popcorn!

Enugu Now Centre Of Regional Integration For Korean/Nigerian Infrastructure Backbone

June 14, 2016



Two strategic Korean and Nigerian partners, working on integrated infrastructure backbone for Nigeria, have announced that Enugu state has been designated as the centre point for the regional integration of the economic development of the Southeast under the planned national framework.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state, Monday, night hosted the high powered teams from the Integrated Infrastructure Backbone for Nigeria and Hyundai Engineering of Korea, and the two strategic partners informed him that talks with the federal government on their ambitious project has progressed to an advanced stage.

The two corporate organizations which attended the last Enugu International Investment Summit tagged Oganiru explained in their presentations at the Government House, Enugu, stated that action plans and designs for the proposed infrastructure backbone for the country has made Enugu state the central focus for the South East zone, especially with the proposal for establishment of a dry port at Obollo-Afor, a border town in the state.

The designation of the busy border-town, Obollo-Afor for a proposed inland container/dry port was effected during Governor Ugwuanyi’s tenure as the chairman of the House of Representatives committee on Marine Transport.

The elated Governor Ugwuanyi spoke to his visitors thus: “I wish to thank you for your kind comments on the success of the Oganiru- Enugu State Investment Summit- during which, as you rightly observed, I declared that Enugu State is open for business.

“Your visit today actually goes to confirm that the Summit made the required impact and is therefore yielding the desired results. It is in that spirit therefore that I do warmly welcome the team from Hyundai Engineering and those from Integrated Infrastructure Backbone for Nigeria.

“We are certainly interested in hearing your proposals for investment in Enugu State and you can always count on our cooperation and partnership”, he told the investors.

Those who came for the special presentation before the governor included; (from Korea)- Mr. Hon Byung Chul, the General Manager, Overseas Investments, Mr. Jang Hosung, Manager, Overseas Investments, Mr. Cha Ki Young of Alpos which are Consultants to Hyundai Engineering and Mr. Justin Okafor, President, Nigeria Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Japan.

The delegation from the Integrated Infrastructure Backbone Project was led by Dr Nkemka Jombo-Ofo, Principal Consultant, Dr. Stephen Dike, Principal Consultant, Dr. Solomon Nyagba, Consultant, Mr. Eric Eze, Surveyor and Mr. Kingsley Eze, Consultant.

Dr. Dike of Integrated Infrastructure Development Associate spoke on the dynamics of the ambitious project: “It is a special purpose company established to initiate the integrated infrastructure development project for Nigeria and the whole idea is to create economic development catalyst that would ensure that we have an integrated infrastructure backbone that would go from Akwa Ibom deep sea port all the way to Katsina.

“We also have another one at Bayelsa which would now join the backbone from Akwa Ibom to Katsina at Enugu. Our whole idea is to make Enugu/ Obollo-Afor Centre Point of integrated infrastructure development plan for the whole South-East region.

“Along this backbone, we are going to have five dimensions of infrastructure development. That would include: power grid, fiber cables, high-speed rail road, dual carriage high and finally, it would include the gas pipeline (70-inch diameter gas pipeline).

“The whole idea is that economic development in Nigeria can only go as fast as infrastructure development would go. Infrastructure development in Nigeria has not been strategic and integrated. The highest cost of infrastructure development is the cost of security and the cost of right of wealth.

“We are looking at other developed countries like Shanghai, Japan, Singapore et cetera and we are trying to emulate their successes of those at best practices in order to bring it to infrastructure development in Nigeria”, he further explained.

On the strategic role of Enugu state in the whole project, he also explained that “Our partnership with Enugu State Government is that the infrastructural backbone is going to pass through the state. Obollo-Afor is the center point for the backbone because we are going to have an inland container port at Obollo-Afor.

“Obollo-Afor also is going to be the center point for the inter-connector project that would go to other areas. For instance, the one coming from Bayelsa is going to connect at Obollo-Afor. So the strategic relationship with Enugu State Government is that it is going to be the center point for the South-East region”, he stated.

Ugwuanyi Reconstitutes New Revenue Board
*Wants All Revenue Leakages Plugged


Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State yesterday inaugurated the newly reconstituted State Board of Internal Revenue and charged the members to come up with new and effective strategies aimed at beefing
up the State’s revenue base in view of the present daunting Economic challenges in the country.

Lagos-based banker and luxury real estate operator, Mr. Chukwuemeka Anthony Odo, who is the chairman of Bluewaters Capital is the chairman of the Enugu revenue board and pledged on behalf of other members of
the new board to work diligently operate a leak-proof revenue generation system for the state shore up its economy.

While inaugurating the board at the Government House, Enugu yesterday, Governor Ugwuanyi explained that the charge on the members to work hard on their assignment has become necessary in the face of the
severe economic depression that is threatening the solvency of government at all levels.

He noted that how well the new board plays its role was crucial to the economic wellbeing of the State government and by extension that of the people of Enugu Sate.

He observed that with the receipts from the federation account dwindling rapidly, most State governments have become increasingly dependent on internally generated revenue to fund their activities and service their obligations.

“Government as a result of the current economic condition, is struggling to meet its financial commitments to pay salaries, fund development activities, ensure social services and maintain security, among others”, the governor stated.

Governor Ugwuanyi pointed out that he had earlier envisaged this situation when he warned in his inaugural speech that revenue generation agencies should be ready to intensify efforts to generate more revenues to fund government’s developments efforts.

He equally charged members of the board to ensure that all revenues accruable to government are fully collected and all avenues of leakages are effectively checked. The governor then called on individuals and corporate bodies not to fail in their obligations to pay their taxes.

He promised that every kobo that accrues to government will be fully utilized transparently and in a manner that will transform the life of every citizen of Enugu State. On his part, Odo, a former executive director of the defunct Intercontinental Bank Plc, stated that their appointment came at a time when the crashed oil price has affected the economic fortunes of the country negatively, and assured that they will explore and exploit
all sources of internally generated revenue to ensure that government meets its obligations to the people.

According to Mr Odo, members of the Board will ensure that all taxable persons in the State are given the opportunity to perform their civic obligations, while equally exploiting technology to block leakages so
that all government revenues be fully collected.

Other members of the board include
Mr Chucks Onodugo member representing Enugu Westsenatorial zone,
Mr Jude Sunday Egbo, representing Enugu East zone,
Barr Joseph Onuoha, representing Enugu North senatorial zone, and
Mrs Chinasa Perpetuul Awkadigwe, a lawyer who would serve as secretary to the board
