When is Ihedioha to start replicating the housing estate for Okigwe and Orlu?

I foresee Ihedioha frustrated out so soon if he doesn't start these projects in Okigwe and Orlu zones.

Imo: Can Ihedioha meet the expectations?

September 29, 2019

The politics of Imo State has never remained the same since Governor Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) emerged the helmsman. In this report, Associate Editor, Sam Egburonu, reports on the changing politics and the efforts of the new government to meet up with the high expectations of the people of the Southeast state

THE intrigues that surrounded the last governorship election in Imo State left no one in doubt that whoever wins the race will be of special interest to both the Imo State stakeholders and other Nigerians eager to see good governance in the southeast state. Everyone therefore expected the then governorship candidates to be aware of the high expectations.

So, as soon as he was declared winner of the election, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) promised to turn what he called the state’s “bad news to a good story.” He promised to do so by making fundamental changes in several critical areas, especially in the style of governance.

One of such areas, he promised to do differently is the relationship between the state and the local governments, which until then was reportedly frosty. When he went to the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to collect his Certificate of Return, Ihedioha said, “For us in the executive, we shall run a government that is responsible in every sense of the word. For us, the local government administration shall be appreciated and seen as an arm of the government that is respected because that is where the grassroots people participate.”

Considering the intrigues, allegations and counter-allegations that trailed the past government of Owelle Rochas Okorocha over his style of governance and his relationship with local governments in the state, many observers have been keen on seeing if Ihedioha will fulfil his promise to local governments and restore confidence in the state’s civil service.

Though his government is just a little bit more than three months old, Ihedioha said he has already taken action on this critical area. “Another immediate concern we confronted head-on was the weakness of the state civil service due to high nepotism, lack of motivation, delayed salaries and under-payments by, sometimes, as much as 30 percent of salaries due. We, thenceforth, set up a review committee to look into cases of improper or irregular appointments, promotions and other related matters.

“The committee has turned in its report and, subsequently, we have approved the restoration of payment of 100 percent salaries to all workers in the state, recalled all unjustly suspended directors, reversed some undeserved promotions and sponsored officers to capacity building programmes. Similarly, local government workers have been paid the backlog of salaries owed them by the last administration. I can tell you that there is a renewed sense of motivation in the civil service across the state today.”

Another area observers identified as immediate challenge to Ihedioha’s government is the problem of the state’s economy; especially the irony inherent in multiple taxation but low Internally Generated Revenue (IDR). During the electioneering campaigns, Omo indigenes made this a major campaign topic. So, while taking oath of office, Ihedioha pledged to change this story.

In his 100 days address, he said: “we have signed into law, Executive Order 005, known as Treasury Single Account (TSA) Order to consolidate all government revenues under one account. We have also adopted other measures designed to plug leakages and increase Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) in the state coffers.

“We cannot achieve the right growth as a state without a sustainable revenue generating system. The state has less than 5 percent of the working population of over two million paying taxes and this is not an acceptable position. We met an arbitrary tax collection system leading to leakages, fraud and all sorts of irregularities.

“To ensure a sustainable IGR regime, we took steps to reform the state Internal Revenue Service. From August 2019 all cash tax payments have been banned and the government has mandated the use of the PayDirect Platform with a single source sweeping of revenue. This has started addressing the issue of multiple accounts and leakages, and the IGR has grown from an all-time low of about 300m in July to 600m in August.

“We have commissioned a Central Billing System which will drive the use of technology in tax collection. We have started a tax payer enumeration exercise with the attendant benefit of identifying the tax payers and ensuring they pay the right amount of tax to the right source.

“A transformation of the revenue service built on the pillars of People Processes and Technology to ensure that we serve the needs of the populace in the most efficient and professional manner, by operationalizing the autonomy of the Imo Internal Revenue Service in line with global standards.

“We have also listened to your issues on multiple taxation and commenced a tax harmonisation exercise in a bid to eliminate multiple taxation and streamline taxes in a manner that will only focus on the most relevant taxes to be paid.

“Due to these strategic and fiscal responsibility moves, Imo State has gained positive image and is now on track to join the Open Governance Partnership league. It also now qualifies for performance-based grants of the World Bank as well as other multilateral development institutions. We are also currently developing the Imo Growth and Economic Development Fund. The fund will be unique in Nigeria and would serve as an investment catalyst for the Imo State economy.”

The Nation observed that at the twilight of Okorocha’s government, another critical challenge in Imo State, especially in Owerri, the state capital, was water supply crisis. Mazi Ikechukwu Ukachukwu, who resides in Mbaise Road, Owerri, said “water scarcity in Owerri had almost become a norm, so much so that some of us did not believe it could be reversed in a short while. This is because we had burst water pipes all over the metropolis, buried in the muds. The neglect has taken a very long time. You will not believe that sachet water here has always been N10 even when it was still selling for N5 in Lagos.” Ihedioha also said he has commenced action in this area: “For several years, the Otamiri Water Supply was not functional and our people in the state capital and its environs suffered untold hardships. We have therefore, provided what was required to get it working again. Specifically, water started running again in Imo on 24th July, 2019 after almost seven (7) years of dry pipes. In the same vein, work is ongoing to rectify cases of burst pipes across the major roads,” he said.

His claims notwithstanding, some of his critics in the state, making reference to some of the actions attributed to Ihedioha at the dawn of his administration, like the demolition of some monuments erected by former Governor Okorocha, alleged that the new government may be doing more hype than it has actually accomplished in physical terms. “Is it everything the new government claims that we should agree with? I suggest the Ihedioha-led state government should go to the field and work instead of beating its chest so early in the morning. Though I do not agree with the way they condemned everything Okorocha did, I cannot deny that this new government seems more sensitive to the actual needs of the people. But they should leave Rochas alone and face the work for which Imo people elected them,” Kingsley Uzochukwu said.

But Dr. Nicholas Nwulu told The Nation during the week that the present state government is determined to make the needed difference in the area of agricultural development. “If Ihedioha continues the way he has started, Imo will soon experience positive revolution in agriculture…,” he said.

Steve Osuji, the Senior Adviser to the governor on Media, who listed “removal of massive heaps of refuse across Owerri and environs,” as one of his principal’s first areas of concern, told The Nation during the week that the Ihedioha-led state government has “initiated the revamping of Avutu Poultry, Adapalm and Imo Rubber Estates,” amongst other areas of interest in the agricultural sector.

The governor himself also spoke glowingly of his interest in the development of the agricultural sector in his 100 days in office broadcast when he said: “Pursuant to our resolve to harness our agricultural potentials as well as generate employment, just a few days ago, we launched our Agricultural Roadmap which represents a comprehensive framework for self-sufficiency in food production, both for domestic consumption and for exports purposes. By our strategic location at the heartland of the South East and our endowment with the only international cargo airport in the region, we are certain that with the right investments, the state would harvest monumental benefits in this sector.

“I am happy also to report that the first batch of 500 youths selected from all the 27 LGAs in Imo State will be sent to a modern farm at Nasarawa State, in a few weeks, under the Imo Youths in Agribusiness Programme (IYAP). Here, they would learn the best practices in tropical agriculture, after which they will be supported to start their own businesses in Imo State.

“We have also commenced the establishment of a Rice Seed Farm Cluster on the Imo River Basin at Amumara Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA. This programme will make Imo State self-sufficient in the production of improved variety of rice seeds with a view to strengthening our rice value chain. Experts in rice breeding, production and processing from the Africa Rice Centre at IITA Ibadan will be training our groups of rural young farmers to grow and process improved rice seeds.

“We have also commenced the introduction of light mechanization to farmers in areas where full tractorization may not be possible.

“The process for the rejuvenation of Imo ADP has commenced and plans are underway to train staff and reintegrate them back to intervention programmes that have suffered severe setbacks in the past as a preclude to granting access to reputable, time-tested investors.

“It is noteworthy that, the Avutu Poultry Farm has been cleared for a full restoration to a world-class standard. Similarly, Adapalm is being cleared through the relevant Committee and we would soon commence operations. The challenge of pending legal issues is being attended in order to clear the way for full optimization of its potentials.

“Our state is set to host the only Agribusiness Park in Nigeria at Ngor-Okpala. This comprises an agribusiness academy, and a smart agribusiness centre, thus positioning the facility for revenue generation and job creation. In a few weeks’ time, we would begin the process of data capture of afffected Imolites in the upcoming agriculture revolution program targeting 400,000 participants between the ages of 15-64,” he said.

Imo to Partner CBN, Agric Bank in Reviving Adapalm

By Jude Aguguo Owuamanam, Owerri | Published Date Nov 14, 2019 3:17 AM

Imo state government is set to secure loans from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Bank of Agriculture for the revival of Adapalm Plantation. Already a combined team of Bank from Agriculture and CBN visited Imo State to interface with representatives of the state government on how to revive the oil palm industry that once was a pride of the state. ADVERTISEMENT The Senior Special Assistants to Governor Emeka Ihedioha on Public Enlightenment, Prince Eze Ugochukwu, said the meeting was on how the financial institutions could assist Imo government to fully revamp and strengthen the production capacity and profitability capability of Adapalm Industry.

He said since the inception of the RebuildImo administration, the fortune of Adapalm Industry has begun to take a new turn for the better. Commissioner for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Chief Emmanuel Nwaogu, the visit will forge a good link between the banks and the industry, to determine what new means are possible.

Bros Diamond.

This is supposed to be an article on Imo state, abi?

but the author and those he interviewed lamented on absence of water in Owerri for 7 years; was water existing in other areas of Imo state then?
Steve Osuji, the Special Adviser to gov Ihedioha on New Media, also saying the governor's main concern is on quick removal of refuse in Owerri. Do people not live and generate refuse in other parts of the state?
In fact, a stranger reading this can ask: is this Imo state all about Owerri?
I have come across too many unhealthy lamentations in so many online media about lopsided development in Imo state favoring only the state capital.
What I read were at times unprintable.

There needs to be some adjustments to approach to governance for all the state.

Hello people, on my way back I had to park on the express to take this shot.
Pls,pardon my unprofessionalism am not sure pro like arinzeejinkonye....

Thanks for this. I believe Ihedioha really needs to look into this matter of lopsided development. Owerri isn't the only place in Imo state

Govt making plans to begin waste-wealth initiative.
Recycling plant to receive equipments soon in oguta.

Seems the structure, was abandoned initially.

This brought back memories. I remember I once tried getting into the waste recycling business during the time of Rochas. My area of concentration was the wastes being generated by FUTO, was gonna start there, then expand.

However, I was specifically told that WASTE RECYCLING WAS A BUSINESS MEANT FOR ONLY THE GOVERNMENT. Funny enough, till that government left, they didn't do anything serious about it.

I hope this new government will look into recycling of waste. Check out UBQ materials, they are an Israeli company into recycling of wastes to produce other materials.

I've had an email correspondence with them. Ihedioha can set up mini-recycling plants in several local governments, even if just 4 local governments outside Owerri. The company actually produces several types of "plastic" materials from these wastes.

These plants will be solely for that purpose and if possible, wastes could even be imported from other states for a fee. That way, Imo state gains on two fronts.

The only challenge I see will be provision of electricity for the plants to work, although I know there is a high voltage line with constant power supply from PHCN office (Industrial estates in Ogun state make use of that line), I don't know if such a line exists in Imo state though.

Having a flyover at control won't be bad for me.

My brother, I appreciate a point you've stated twice now. You asked what would be of some laudable construction projects of the previous administration.

I think the government really needs to look into that aspect. As much as we criticise Rochas for somethings, I believe he carried out some very laudable projects.

The eastern palm university, what becomes of it, will it be left to be over grown with weeds? What about the general hospitals? There is an extension of Imo poly just beside Ahiara Technical College, at Mbaise, it's currently being overgrown with weed (I was there).

I believe the government can leverage on all these and do something about it. That was what made Fashola the best governor consistently during his tenure as Lagos state governor.. continuity.

I hope Ihedioha listens

Eastern Palm University and the Okigwe and Mbaise campuses built by Okorocha government are getting over-grown with bushes since committee said the three be used as campus of IMSU. Hard to understand why the governor has not acted. IMSU has been on temporary and near-useless buildings in Owerri. Any other state governor would have since done what the committee directed.

that's what u get when an Mbaise man is not in good terms with you

can't u see the gradual death of this thread?

This ihedioha won't perform. He would show to all of us that Rocha's is 10times better.

During Rocha's first tenure he was on fire when it comes to projects, he just started misbehaving in his second tenure.

Since ihedioha entered look how lazy and useless his first tenure is, every time am on Google looking for his project's they are almost non existent.

But foolishness won't make our people say the truth

Lol rochas was on fire indeed in his first term..i can see how those fire inspired infrastructure he built lasted..

Although I understand u, but I also agree with Coldie.

Look at the schools Rochas built during his first tenure, they are still standing. Infact, those schools were one of his selling points then.

I wish those around Ihedioha can visit this thread and compare. I'm sure they'll even get useful unbiased recommendations from here.

I see no reason why a street filled with gigantic hotels in Imo should have bad roads, if I were the one, the hotels there would be COMPELLED, yes, COMPELLED to construct the road collectively

Where you have a bank road that is full of potholes and what have you, COMPELL the banks to do the drainage and fix their roads well, as in WELL

Can we have a state road, say 4 lanes that connects ALL the local governments in the state together, as in WELL TARRED 4-LANES ROAD O

Look at the schools Rochas built during his first tenure, they are still standing. Infact, those schools were one of his selling points then.

I wish those around Ihedioha can visit this thread and compare. I'm sure they'll even get useful unbiased recommendations from here.

I see no reason why a street filled with gigantic hotels in Imo should have bad roads, if I were the one, the hotels there would be COMPELLED, yes, COMPELLED to construct the road collectively

Where you have a bank road that is full of potholes and what have you, COMPELL the banks to do the drainage and fix their roads well, as in WELL

Can we have a state road, say 4 lanes that connects ALL the local governments in the state together, as in WELL TARRED 4-LANES ROAD O

How can you compel Hotels and Banks to fix the roads? Are they the government of the state? Don't they pay their taxes? Hotels are even affected greatly due to the numerous taxes they pay to the state government and you still want them to fix roads?
If they have to fix any road, they must be given tax wavers equivalent to the amount spent on fixing the road.
