Infrastructure: Enugu govt. awards over N1.1 billion contracts

*Nsukka gets zonal secretariat

The Enugu State Executive Council (EXCO), in keeping with the commitment of the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Governor-elect to full implementation of the 2019 budget for the benefit of the people of the state, yesterday awarded contracts for infrastructural development worth over N1.1billion.

Briefing newsmen after the council’s meeting at the Government House, Enugu, the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Greg Nnaji, who was flanked by the Commissioners for Information and Gender Affairs and Social Development, Mr. Ogbuagu Anikwe and Princess Peace Nnaji, respectively, disclosed that the projects approved for immediate construction and reconstruction were “roads and public building”.

Engr. Nnaji stated that the council in a bid to enhance efficiency and productivity in the civil service and ease the suffering of people coming to Enugu for certain administrative engagements, approved the construction of phase one (block A) of zonal secretariat at Nsukka satellite town at the cost of N418, 649 , 187.13.

The works commissioner, who emphasized the need for the zonal secretariat, explained that the structure, which he described as a legacy project, has a ground floor and two suspended floors with 27 offices, well planned to effectively serve the purpose it was meant for.

On roads, Engr. Nnaji also disclosed that the state government awarded contracts for the reconstruction of Ogidi Street and Onyeama lane, Asata in Enugu metropolis to connect with Carter street, which is under construction by the present administration. Also approved for rehabilitations within Enugu city were the old UNTH-Bunker road, Ngenevu- old UNTH link road and the erosion control works at Okwuosa Street, Ogui New Layout.

It would be recalled that Gov. Ugwuanyi had recently embarked on a pre-contract inspection of the newly awarded projects, where he promised government’s immediate intervention.

Other road projects approved by the council, according to the works commissioner include, the construction of additional 2-kilometer at Nkwo Inyi-Akpugoeze Mamu Forest road in Oji River Local Government Area and additional works (River Crossing) on the construction of Nike Lake junction - Harmony Estate road – Amorji Nike - Adoration Pilgrimage centre (Phase one). Engr. Nnaji pointed out that 2-kilometer of the said road is presently under construction by the state government to serve as a veritable bypass from Nike Lake junction, Abakpa to Emene. He stressed that “the all important bypass” will decongest traffic in the aforementioned areas, reassuring the people of the state that the governor and his administration will continue to work hard for their wellbeing.

Also speaking, the Commissioner for Gender Affairs and Social Development, Princess Nnaji, who applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi’s magnanimity towards the downtrodden and vulnerable, stated that the governor through the EXCO approved the sum of N44,974,593.45 for the renovation and equipping of the state government’s rehabilitation centre in Emene.

Princess Nnaji added that the project comprises renovation of all male and female hostels, toilets, fencing of the centre and procurement of equipment such as computers for learning and tailoring machines to help them to be self-reliant after rehabilitation.

In his briefing, the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Anikwe said that the council gave 48 teachers who did not turn up during the verification exercise “one more chance to show up between now and end of the month to get verified with a condition that the person will among others offer reason (s) why he or she did not participate earlier”.
Truly, Enugu State is in the hands of God!

South East governors has been on the upswing since 2015, as if they are immune to the scattered economy of Nigeria

That's great

Enugu Amaka. Driving through Enugu town gives me joy.

There is one thing I will advise my Igbo brothers. Please build your houses in Enugu. I never knew I could make as much as you make in Lagos building a tenant house in Enugu until I did.

Again Enugu is much more secured than most cities in Nigeria.

What you are looking for in Sokoto is in your sokoto.

That's good news I hope they will make use of all the money given to them

One day Nigerian Government might regret ditching the south east for north. They are building an empire while north is giving birth to future voters.

Today is my birthday so free airtime for one lucky person 717461482236188

Only about 200-300 million will truely go to projects. The rest will find its way into private local and off shore accounts

Though Enugu has a small budget, I wish the governor could embark on a mega project like Dave Umahi of Ebonyi state. Dave has changed the landscape of Abakaliki forever...Same would not be said of Ugwuanyi...though he has done many small projects across the state, towns, and villages. He is more of a community man...

No capital infrastructural project like flyovers, installation of traffic lights, Road expansion asf

so unfortunate

Enugu 'ebeano'.

Say it with me: Igbo amaka

Which is your state?

Wow. You gotta be freaking kidding me!! I just don't know how they make money in Nigeria these days. It must be those criminal politicians and yahoo boys making life miserable for people.

I think I will just forget about buying any land in Nigeria for now. Thank God we still have a few plots of land back in the villa.
