The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, was in Adamawa to inspect the plot of land allocated to him by the State Government to build a secondary school for the internally displaced children.

“This is a clarion call to all Nigerians now to think about the displaced persons in our society and those who are disadvantaged from going to school.

“Most great men of the world are people from poor homes and nations that have neglected their poor ones are nations not willing to grow because there are more wisdom in the families that do not have than the families that have plenty.

“Let us not forget these poor ones because we do not know who is going to find solution to HIV, the hunger in the world or who is going to redeem Africa,” he said.

While Governor Okorocha plans to build a school for the children and the less privileged in the state, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has also donated drugs to the IDPs in Yola.

The agency’s representative explained that they were aware of the possibility of health challenges setting in at the camps and felt that it was important to make such precautionary move.

Both governors of Imo and Adamawa have asked other Nigerians to assist in rebuilding the state.

According to the Internally Displaced Monitoring Centre, Nigeria has the highest number of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa, totaling about 3.3 million.

Over 2.3 million have been displaced in the northeast, including over 1.4 million children.

And to think some social urchins were supporting the dirt accumulation.

A beg, relocation or no relocation, should the govt allow dirt to accumulate in a city? If a tourist enters your state, do you have to start explaining why there is dirt somewhere?

I think okorocha and his supporters are too myopic. Are they even humans?

omooba969:
I will rather blame the citizenry who turned a public place to a dumping site.

Dirty m0rons!

As for APC & PDP, keep fooling gullible Nigerians ok...continue.

demolinka:
Hope they also provided waste bins for prevent further dumping

menix:
I hope they will continue this good deed cous the dumpsite would certainly return...

decatalyst:
Of course, the BROOM can not do this, nah caterpillar fit do am

anonimi:


Before you start blaming the public anyhow, please tell us what arrangements the LGA made to collect the refuse in a particular place or the bins that the LGA provided for this purpose.
Thanks.

Public health shouldn't be politicized.

Kenai:
Local Government structures don't exist in Imo State anymore, as Rochas dissolved all the offices of the Local Government chairmen and councillors the second he became governor in 2011.
He has refused to conduct elections ever since, and has concentrated all powers to his office, concurrently diverting all LG funds and allocations directly to his table for quick looting.

anonimi:


Let me point out that refuse collection is the work of the LGAs.
All the state agencies doing this work are doing so because of the IDLENESS of the governors and our own nonchalance about what goes on in the LGAs.

Teewhy2:
Government of the day isn't referring to the state government alone, it involves the local government as well

Afam4eva:
I just left Owerri a few days ago and you needed to be in Owerri to understand how bad Douglas road was with the heap of refuse couples with the bad roads.

My issue with Rochas and the Imo state government is not even just about the refuse dump because every state capital can boast of their own fair share of dirt. What pissed me off was the response of the government. it just goes to show that Rochas sees himself as a god rather than a servant of the people. How can a sitting governor state that the reason he hasn't cleared the dump was to punish the people of Owerri. Couldn't he have lied like other politicians? Do people like Rochas think they will be relevant in the political circles forever.

Since most of us are 200 million mumus praising the governors for doing a FRACTION of the work that should normally be done by LGAs that we have allowed them to make non-existent, why would he and the 35 others not behave like tin gods

A good move by the PDP in Imo State, but how could they claim they used N3.1 Billion to clear the refuse
