Okay, watching its implementation

This is good especially the payment of pension of local government retirees

n.a. so dem dey talk until the Paris fund money enter their hand....then you go see wonders!

One great task before any governor of Enugu state is how to make that state industrial viable. Upon how peaceful the state is, all goods are made outside the state.

U will see made in Aba, made in Onitsha, made in Ogun state flooding its market. The only thriving business is hotels, beer parlour and filling stations.

It leaves me to wonder whether there are nor entrepreneurs in my state. Or is the government not doing enough.

Lols! Audio motives.

Pls not just approving.....they should be paid ASAP.... when u come in contact with pensioners, you will understand why they should always be paid on time..... because some of them solely depends on their pension.

God bless you for that comment.

In Nigeria we are excellent in policy & program formulation, but to implement what has been formulated, we will then see ourselves running @ snails speed.

What has he done in Nsukka?
Apart from Opi junction to Total, which other major roads?
Bros channel your unconfirmed research to the Audio Governor biko.

My question is where is the the Money that was deducted at source during when those pensioners were in active service?

The roads at awkunanaw etudo streets and ugwuaji streets are totally horrendous and are gradually turning to huge gullies.These roads were hitherto pliable during sulluvans regime.Even if it's just ordinary sand they should just use it on those aforementioned roads.They are an eyesore to the beauty of Enugu....

Mark my words.

Lions building will be the last office, H.E Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi will get in his lifetime.

He has succeeded in taking away most lands in strategic areas in Enugu for himself.

That Ugwugor Road that leads to Nsukka was flagged off and completed by H.E Sullivan Chime.the tragedy is the undying support he gets from ndi Ndi Orba & Ezike people. although he has done little or nothing in the Zone.

He is by no chance fit or worthy of the highest office in the lions building.

I sincerely hope Rep. Pat Asadu will brace up and run for that Enugu North senatorial position in 2023.

So oyel money no rich to pay outstanding. Pensions and Gratitudes

All Nigeria state governors are almost the same. They lack ideas

How about using it to develop local manufacturing capacity projects (so Enugu industries can manufacture more advanced goods locally) and infrastructures like road, less expensive healthcare options for the people and mini IPP projects to improve Enugu's power generating capacity with all the raw coal Enugu has?

Things that generate local wealth, local employment and state revenue for tax and growth. African leaders with their typical short-term visionary way of thinking. Always consuming, never creating.

Good move, please let the Enugu state government rehabilitate old 9th mile- Nssuka road that goes through Abor, Ukana, Okpatu, Umulumgbe to Nssuka, that road is very bad that those living in the area are finding it difficult. also, let him remember retired primary school teachers they are dying hunger.
