EBONYI ROADS ARE BEST IN SOUTH-EAST, SAYS BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER

The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr Paul Arkwright, has commended Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State for developing infrastructure in the state barely two years of his administration.

Arkwright, made the commendation during a state banquet organised in his honour by the state government in Abakaliki on Sunday night.

The High Commissioner who was on a working visit to the state, said he travelled on smooth roads into and within the state, describing the roads in Ebonyi as the best in the South-East.

"Ebonyi roads are the best in the South-East," the envoy added in a statement on Monday by Umahi's Chief Press Secretary, Emma Anya. ArkWright told the guests at the banguet that he was on the visit to look into the opportunities in agriculture, rice production and infrastructure in the state.

Decribing Ebonyi as a young state, he pointed out that he was optimistic about its future. He promised that the United Kingdom would partner in realising the dream.

His words," We are here to look into the opportunity in agriculture, rice production and infrastructure.

"As a young state, Ebonyi is quite optimistic to the future and the United Kingdom will be a partner to realising the future.

"The United Kingdom is aware of the challenges of development in Africa and Nigeria in particular".

Earlier, in his remarks,Governor Umahi had called on the British Government to help Africa,especially Nigeria.

"The British Government should move on to help Africa. Nigeria is the largest country in Africa. When you brought to us religion, we accepted it but you didn't bring your technology. I think there is the need to develop your technology in Nigeria, Governor. Umahi said.

" I want to take that opportunity as you said and we want to partner you in the area of agriculture. We have a lot of mineral deposits like zinc, salt, lead and others. In fact, we are sitting on money.

"We also need your help because we have a lot of internally displaced persons from Ezza-Ezillo and Ezza communal clashes. There is the boundary clashes between Cross River and Ebonyi in which a lot of people have been displaced. There are also those from Izzi, Abakaliki and Ikwo axis that were displaced ".

Silent archiever.

Shaking my head for Nigeria

Abi just Abakaliki. Apart from Abakaliki, Ebonyi roads are not too good.

Anambra has by far the best roads in SE. only federal roads are in shambles

Ogadimma that way

Huh
I always taught it was enugu

White men has been deceiving black men long, long and long time ago. Wat do u expect the ambassador to say. Fools. By the time he visits another states you people will hear him charging his gear.

XXLDICK:
Abi just Abakaliki

GET LOST






IGBO AMAKA

Followed by Enugu and Imo!

Nice to know the roads are good, a commendable achievement I must say.
However, I do not think we need the British high commissioner or any representative of an external body to validate our achievements.
His validation isn't something worth being celebrated, he is just human!
The moment people figure out these Europeans are just humans with equal/superior/inferior IQ the better for all of us.
With that said, I don't think this thread's title makes any sense.

All roads in Nigeria are rubbish. We should stop celebrating bastard politicians. All Nigerian politicians are agents of darkness. Woe unto them and their entire family.
