…APC not properly informed – Obiano’s media aide
By O’star Eze

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Anambra Central Zone has condemned the recent trip of Governor Willie Obiano to Austria describing it “as a waste of time and a pleasure trip.”
Speaking through its Zonal Publicity Secretary, Mr. Igboeli Arinze, the party said that it was contrary to reason that the governor would visit Austria with the intention of getting foreign coupling companies to produce tricycles for use in Anambra State when the state had a vehicle manufacturing firm like Innoson.
The statement read in part, “With the impromptu ban on the use of Okada by the present government of Anambra State, without giving any consideration to the plight of Anambra people who have indeed suffered increased hardship following the ban, the APC condemned such an action and did not buy into the bourgeoisie reasons offered by this administration in its deliberate attempts to impose hardship on the people.

“Be that as it may, we as a people oriented party did expect that this administration would put in place palliatives to ease the burdens of such a rash action but to our dismay this was not the case. Rather, we have it on all authority that the governor in what we describe as a jamboree went on to Austria to seek investors for the coupling of transport vehicles for use in Anambra State.
“This is ridiculous and a sheer case of policy summersaults, for indeed Anambra is not lacking in these industries. What stops the Governor Obiano from visiting Innoson for the procurement of these vehicles?
“Is the governor not aware of the huge costs such a trip as well as business would have on the state’s finances compared to what the state will benefit should such jobs go to our manufacturers? What has happened to the Nke a bụ Nke anyị? Or is it just a political slogan? ”

However in a quick rebuff, the media aide to Governor Obiano, Mr James Eze, refute APC’s claim saying that they were not properly informed while explaining the mission of the governor in Austria.
Eze said that it was not logical that the governor would go to Austria just to get investors for car coupling when he could do that via the internet or other more efficient means.
He explained that the governor’s visit was informed primarily by his quest to get prospective investors in the business of converting wastes to energy and fuel.
In Eze’s words “the governor saw the huge potential in the large mass of waste generated daily in the three metropolises of the state and sought for companies in Austria that would come and invest in converting these wastes to energy.
“He succeeded in getting two companies in the industrial city of Graz that have agreed to come and invest in this sector and this would translate to employment opportunities for our teeming youths as well as a new revenue window for the state.
The governor’s media aide added that the governor also held fruitful deliberations with some automobile assembly companies in a bid to consolidate on the state’s advantage as a car assembly state.
“The governor also held a meeting with the Mayor of Graz to discuss a bilateral relationship with Anambra State and the possibility of bright students of the state gaining scholarship to study in Austria,” Eze said. It was also disclosed that the governor gave a keynote address to Nigerians living in Austria during his visit.

Apart from Ambode, which APC Governor is performing well like Obiano?

Waste management and environmental/impact assessment is one key area we need to dip the light on....
Africa in general need key into this turn, the very many wastes (industrial and agricultural) apart from being unsightly constitute hazards to us. In fact, the only reason that holds sway as to why almost all African countries are still tagged developing/underdeveloped is due to their inability to dispose their wastes (environmental wastes) properly.
There is a very big prospect in waste management and energy conversion that in time to come everybody will beg to learn. We shouldn't learn and get everything from the whites. Our research institutions should brace up and see that we are not left out.
