Understanding the problems of Aba…

Aba have been a weeping city even before the creation of Nigeria. It was used by the British colonial government to transport agricultural goods from the hinterlands to Port Harcourt. The city was mostly regarded by the Brits as slum due to the swampy nature of the area,this lead to the creation of GRA and the school of hygiene(now School of health technology Aba). The early development of the commercial city was disorderly due to the neglect by the colonial govt, because of which there have been some flood disasters eg Ndi ogoro flood disaster. This prompt the immediate actions by the administrations of Major general Ike O. Nwachukwu and Admiral Ndubuisi Kalu of the then east central state to pioneer the planning of Aba in The 70's. By the early 80's during the Administration of Chief S. O. Mbakwe Aba was one of the most planned cites in Nigeria...

Abians,take caution; The Op is a tribalistic and hateful Yoruba whom you must treat like a poisonous snake!!!!!!!!

just praying this governor performs unlike TA orji so we can have lots of pictures here.

Please what eventually happened to Aba metallurgical complex and the Aba glass, 2 industries that Mbakwe wanted to use and speed up the development of the state

All this are the people's work, not the government. Abia is doing okay because of the people. They gotta thank God they are industrialized mimdset. They've been cheesed with terrible leaders for God knows when . I hope the new administration would be different

I think you are mistaking him for the spyder880 dude. Go through schloes post, he's Igbo, probably from Abia

If the governor has the bile, liver and wit he should face the goliath and start work on the sea port in ukwa ,get the paperwork done and approved , he should get support financial loan from a foreign body or at least partner with akwa ibom in their sea port project or at least show interest and particularly create awareness.

This will make him the most important governor from the east like Micheal Okpara, Sam Mbakwe ,Akanu Ibiam.

Alternatively he can take Aba products to a new and acceptable level, invite more investments to Aba, build newer industrial estates and business districts in Aba and umuahia.

Aba needs the following in no particular order, steel plant to churn out steel products for the oil services company and oil and gas industry , glass furnace for the numerous breweries now that electricity is stablising and a small refinery to power the growth.
Aba used to be the second most industrialised city after lagos now aba has not measured up due to neglect and visionless regimes previously.
Abia has no issues with security so he has less headache. Aba also has little issues with unemployment. So Abia needs to focus on its core area of IGR to kick start growth and development.

OdenigboAroli:

Why should you be scared little man, The man is not Yoruba but you are trying to link him to something else, you are a shameless bigot. Ugly animal.

hmmm, abia just need refurbishment in all sectors, but I think he should start from road rehabilitation and construction in aba and upgrading of umuahia.

Nice one... It is no more a news that the last two governors in Abia state were too myopic and had no clue on where and how to rule. You can attest to that by their clueless choice of project and mediocre execution of such projects...
To me he should focus on the following

1: Selling and revitalization of all the moribund industries eg Brewery, Abia ceramic industry, Aba textile industries, the glass factory...

2: Agriculture & Agro-allied industries

Abia was/is a large producer of agricultural cash crops like cashew(the neglected eastern cashew plantations found across isuikwuato,uturu,umuchieze comes to mind ),cocoa,palm oil and kernel and casava. So his Adminstration should draw and create conducive environment for more agro-allied industries which will utilize these agricultural raw materials. eg chocolate factories, more palm based industries, more casava flour mills etc

3: Rehabilitation of Aba city

Aba is the commercial and revenue nerve of the state but have suffered huge neglect by last two previous Administrations due to lack of understanding of the weather, vegetation and topographical nature of Aba. Aba is found on a swampy-rain forest vegetation with relative flat topography,there are heavy rains throughout the year hence drainage management becomes a necessity. He should focus on covering the drainages in Aba to Avoid been blocked by refuse. He should also provide quality intra city roads and waste management system that will stand the test of time

I like open gem. Abia should not continue being hidden gem. It has recently lost the title of garbage capital to Port Harcourt my city.

Aba should consider drainage like these

the gutters . and their cover

If ikpeazu wants to succeed he has to keep sycophants at bay...sycophancy paid big in the last cretins administration

Hate Orji but you must give him credit for quality structures.

Some signature scenes of Igboland which characterises Aba and other Southeast urban areas.
