That building is a legendary icon.
Hope it is completed and put to use soon. Importantly, i hope the interior is brought to true world class International Conference Center standard such as in the third picture.

sadly, right now, all the land meant for hotel and parking space of conference attendees have been poached by land grabbers and houses built on them.



The least Sullivan should have done was to roof the building, landscape the entire vicinity and make sure the grass is constantly mowed. The building can be completed in phases. Total abandonment is unacceptable because that building is more or less a monument.

From saying people don't live in the rural areas, you shifted position to more people live in the capital, that was also proven to be false, now you've moved to population density. Like I said, you would soon expose that bigotry you are hiding behind failed logic like your colleague did. I don't know why you keep mentioning that imaginary situation where the govt has to choose, they don't have to choose anything, I insist that Ugwuanyi cannot work on only Emene and Abakpa roads for the next 4 years, he must be able to uplift a good number of roads in the rural areas of Enugu. The reason why Lagos is a model state today is today is because development is spread across the length and breadth of the state.
I beg ur pardon oga, only in reference to lagos spreading development sha, it's not so and I have all the prove you need

Ekweremadu’s foundation disburses N23.5m education grants to studentsBy Emmanuel Uzodinma on July 5, 2015SHARE TWEET SHARE SHARE 0 COMMENTS

Email Address



The Ikeoha Foundation, founded by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has given out N23.5 Million in bursary awards and scholarships to indigent students of higher institutions drawn from the five Local Government Areas of the Enugu West Senatorial District as well as Enugu North and Igboeze South council areas.

The Senator gave the bursary awards and scholarships at the 2015 edition of the Ikeoha Foundation Adult Literacy Day and 2014/2015 Scholarship and Bursary Award Ceremony held at the Government Field, Awgu, Enugu State, on Saturday.

This was also on a day the Foundation graduated 198 adult learners with the Executive Director of the Foundation, Mrs. Cindy Ezeugwu announcing that the Foundation had established 32 Adult Literacy Centres in the Senatorial District and provided basic education to over 10,000 adult learners who had either graduated or still sudying.


Senator Ekweremadu said that while 50 students from each of Awgu, Aninri, Ezeagu, Udi, and Oji River Local Governments as well as 25 from Igboeze South and Enugu North LGAs received N40,000 individually as bursary awards, 19 students got a cheque for N400,000 each in scholarship for a four-year university education programme.

An elated Senator Ekweremadu stressed that although the Foundation was running other programmes, the dearest to him was the educational programme “because education is the key”. He described the day as one of the happiest in his life for three reasons.

He said: “One is that for the first time in 16 years, we have true and genuine peace in Enugu State under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. People can attend functions without fear of molestation, losing their jobs, and without fear of losing influence.

“I am also happy because about a year or two ago, nobody was certain that IKEOHA Foundation and its programmes would continue because there was fear that Senator Ike Ekweremadu would not go back to the Senate, and this programme could die. It is by the grace of God and prayers of the beneficiaries and potential beneficiaries that we were able to go back to the National Assembly”.


He emphasised that the students of the adult literacy programmes could still achieve greater heights despite receiving education later in life.

He recalled: “We had a senator in the 7th Senate. He used to stay on the street like any other person. He used to follow trailers to Enugu to offload tomatoes. But one day, he embraced education by teaching himself how to read and write and eventually found himself in Teachers Training School. From there, he went to college of education, and finally he found himself in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. That is the power of education.


“The Governor of Benue State was working at the motor park. He said this when he came to the Senate to be screened as a minister. From the motor park, he left back for school and became an officer of the PDP, became a minister and today, he is the governor of Benue State. That is the power of education”.

He called on the Governor of Enugu State and the State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party to consider the graduates of the Ikeoha Adult Literacy Proramme to for Councillorship poritions in the next Local Government elections to “help encourage others who are sitting behind to see what education can do”.

He reminded the beneficiaries of the bursary and scholarship awards that they were being supported so they could also support others.

“The idea is for us to help you so that you can help others. The government cannot do everything and that is why we also call on every individual, those who are privileged to support others; working together, we can lift ourselves up in unity”, he added.

He stressed: “The little help that you give to people can make all the meaning and difference. Whatever your status in life, what will remain when you leave is the support you have been able to give to the society; the assistance you have given to others and those who can say, without you, it could have been worse for me. All things will pass away, but what we do as human beings with the opportunity we have will never pass away”.

In his goodwill message, the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Alhaji Jibrin Paiko, who was represented by Mrs. Temitola Aguda noted that the Commission had been able to increase the literacy level in Enugu State from 56% in 2009 to 62% due the Foundation’s efforts.

On his part, the Governor of Enugu, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, commended Senator Ekweremadu for being a shinning example in human capital development in the Enugu State over the years.

He announced the donation of the sums of N2.5 million by the Enugu State Government, N2.5 million by the LGA in Enugu West, and N5 million by lawmakers representing Enugu West in the State and federal parliaments.

Also, the member representing the South East on the Board of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Tetfund, Chief Chinedu Onu, recounted Senator Ekweremadu’s immense support to educational development since 1997, donated a hundred units of computers to the Foundation to assist it in its ICT training programmes.

We may laff it off, but the truth is that you know better about Enugu state and where we should focus at this time than the bloody politicians that will be appointed commissioners.

If our people in authority have half the clue of some ordinary people on what the state needs, we would have been so advanced by now.

Seriously, I met a Director at the federal secretariat that confessed he didn't have an email account because he didn't know how to operate that thing called email . So he preferred the unreliable NIPOST mails which are notoriously unreliable. Yet he is a Director in federal civil service!
Part of Chime's success over someone like Martin Elechi that received a similar federal allocation was that Sullivan Chime was an enlightened man that viewed the future with an intelligent outlook compared to the native man like Martin Elechi that had no concept of what a bright future could look like, and therefore could not plan towards it.

Imagine that GEJ was the FIRST Nigerian leader ever to have a face book account!

I tell you, the worst of us are in the leadership positions in Nigeria . That is precisely why Nigeria is so backward

That is the tragedy of our governmental organisations, everything is so slowed down that you could cry out of frustration. You will be surprised to know that all the government workers know nothing about how to innovative and perform their tasks. They all think it's a chance to steal enough money.

99.99% of them are oblivious to the happening around them, illiterate to communication trends. It's so sad.

Nice move but the properties should go to the state government not FG. Hope ugwuanyi picks an interest in this case. We need these properties and money especially now government is broke. Hoping he doesn't loot them too.

Most of our politicians in enugu and probably southeast with all their exposure don't have social media presence.
Noticed their counterparts from the west are more active on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.
