Lord Naya: The level of infrastructural and human developments in Imo state is awesome. The multiplier effects of this power plant coupled with the gigantic 3.5 billion dollars Shell-Chevron gas plant Assa, Oguta port, Imo industrial park Ngor Okpala, 500 million dollars 12 floors heartland shopping mall Owerri, the big 25000 tonnes per day Nsu tiles, 500 units European design and American built Duplexes (Diaspora Village) Ogbaku, and others i can't remember; is not just breath taking but also huge. The government of Imo state is really doing well. Congrats to Ndi Imo State.

Lord Naya: @Asha the rural roads are progressing steadily, Owerri is wearing a new look, New Owerri is da bomb tanx to Rochas. You would also be surprised at the way he has transformed Okigwe and Orlu towns. Oguta port is almost completed, the contractor said if not for irregular funding from the Fed govt they would have long finished the project. Follow the link in the article to see some pics.

Lack of infrastructure to evacuate stranded generated electricity has been identified as the major reason for inadequate power supply in the nation as bottlenecks are usually created when electricity cannot be evacuated to the National Grid.

Engr. Bakara Kazeem, Principal Technical Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria made this known when he received members of the National Good Governance Tour who were at the Onitsha 330KV Transmission Substation on inspection on Thursday 25th January, 2013.

[b]He showed the team a Multi-circuit tower that has the capacity for 3 x 330KV and 2 x 132KV the first of its kind in Nigeria which carries 5 circuits simultaneously. He said the third Benin-Onitsha Line a double circuit line and the second Benin – Onitsha Line a single circuit line.

He said the eastern part of the country has stranded generation which could not be evacuated because of the bottleneck created by the single circuit. He said the single circuit is the most critical one in the country. “Whenever there is failure on the circuit the chances are there would be total failure on the entire grid and to start up the grid is always a challenge considering the costs and inconveniences. So this project was conceived to address the problem of bottleneck so that is why we have the second Benin – Onitsha Line and the third Benin – Onitsha Line”, Engr. Kazeem stated.

Engr. Kazeem further pointed out that the issues of way-leave and right of way had caused delays in the installation of the power infrastructure.

He however noted that with the new transmission lines, the stranded power could now be distributed to other parts of the country. “We could not takeout the power from other generating stations. Sometimes they were running below capacity because we lacked the facility to take it out. The good news is the first phase of the project would be commissioned on Sunday (27th January, 2013) and the next phase after 4 weeks because we need to raise new towers.

He said the project would majorly serve three states which are Edo, Delta and Anambra but technically it would affect the whole nation because whatever occurs in one part of the grid affects all other parts of the grid.

“This is a milestone that has been achieved as we can now manage the power in the grid. The incessant collapse and total blackouts will be a thing of the past by the Special Grace of God.[/b]

Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku on behalf of the NGGT team expressed appreciation being done at the Onitsha station to stabilize power supply in the South South, South East and South West but also along the national power grid.

He noted that the Federal Government has invested heavily in Transmission Infrastructure all over the country citing the Alaoji and Makurdi stations. He said by the time work is finished on the power plants they would number ten adding that every aspect of the Power Road Map is being implemented to ensure that the private sector is fully involved and power is stable.

taharqa: @ OP, Thank you for this link: http://fmi.gov.ng/nggt-imo-maku-tasks-nipp-on-monitoring-completion-of-power-projects/

This is the sort of things that the yeye Media team of the President whose near incompetence have made it look like GEJ was not doing anything when he Chap is probably doing more than any former leader within a space of 2 years. Tell them i said so.

They should plz provide s with PICS and progress reports of the projects going on throughout the federation.

ak47mann: i think SE is getting some serious attention from FG .WOW

solomon111: massive 'support' from state govt?
Lol.

Lord Naya: Let me also add that the imo palm ltd, imo printing press, and the imo standard shoe factory are doing well. Also, construction of new estates like Nekede Exclusive Garden phase 2, Orlu road estate, Owelle Rochas Estate, Egbu layout and other new layouts in New Owerri are progressing speedily thanks to Gov Rochas. Lets not talk of the developments going on in Imo European University and the Loyola Jesuit University attracted to the state by the Imo state govt. Imolites are really blessed, the state is one of the fastest developing cities in Africa. Ask those who visited Imo last Christmas they would confirm what am saying. Its simply awesome and amazing.

New Owerre has been in grove when Rochas Okorocha was a thug in Jos, Plateau State.

asha 80: that is lie dede.i am quite aware of how new owerri was as at 2008.amongst the past governors it was udenwa that did something there.people i know that travelled to owerri let me in on some structures i know that did not exist as the time i left owerri.the main issue they said is a problem was security.

Lord Naya: @Dede please leave this thread, there are many threads on Imo state where you and your likes have said the abominable against the good people of Imo state even though the are pure lies born out of envy. The Enugu thread was not polluted by our Imo brothers and you complained when some "ignorant confused supremacist" tried to spoil it, so don't bring your confusion to this thread. I campaigned for you during the last Eze Igbo election pls don't spoil your reputation as a promoter of Igbo unity by following the path of disgrace. Thanks.

The statements in the above post are borne out of ignorance. I am born and raised in Owerre and native of a village few miles from Owerre town. A young from Unuguma is married to my cousin and large part of New Owerre belongs to the people of Umuguma. I knew when we use to drive to her father’s compound through the track roads in 1980.

ADAPALM and ITC were the only money-making parastatals in Imo State. It is funny Rochas has either sold or leased them to his fronts namely Roche and Ginikana respectively. One wonders why Rochas Okorocha has done the same to myriad of such parastatals in Imo State.

When my people believe the stunts of praise singers, I usually get irritated. I owned a plot in New Owerre and a family friend owned one of the five-star hotels in New Owerre. Yet deluded fun seekers are trying to tell me that 6 to 15 months of Okorocha regime in Imo State had blossomed New Owerre. What a folly.
