The Eastern Region government under Michael Okpara established ENDC to finance, build and monitor key infrastructures and development projects spread across the nooks and crannies of the region. It was also charged with resuscitation of abandoned colonial projects in the East deemed beneficial to the region development.

Today we take a look at the projects the ENDC carried out and how wide spread they were.

I thought you said you develop industry among the minorities

Isn't this just to exploit the Minorities in East?

You milk them of the money they make to build Cement factory in Nkalagu


PS: The idiot arguing about the cement in Nkalagu on my thread should come and see his stupidity now

He said colonial masters developed the cement factory not igbos because he was ashamed at how they marginalise minorities.

Where is the rest room in all these places

All I see is Plantations in those places and the revenues will be used to develop Enugu and the rest of igbo land.

Igbos couldn't develop Plantations in their own areas because they had small land mass, but could develop estates and fine hotels in their areas.

Bro, if you cannot read, call your brothers or sisters to read the news on your behalf

He would post an information and try to twist the narrative by saying something else.

It's like someone asking you to see red as white.

Let everyone look at the projects with objective minds.

Note there are no bigger employer of Labour than Agriculture.
The multiplier effects of these palm estates on local communities cannot be underestimated.

Corruption everywhere. NDDC comes to mind

All the none igbo areas generated the highest revenue, so why weren't they developed at the same pace as the igbos?

See the Ibibio areas of ibom with large revenue, yet not a single ibibio was chosen as a minister in the list we saw yesterday.

Why?

All I could see is.
Cocoa estate, palm oil estates.

Where are all those estates now

Establishment of Presidential hotel in Enugu and Portharcourt.

Why not in calabar or Uyo or typical ijaw areas in Yenogoa, Why towns with significant igbo population

I just go through all these threads showing how we were on course to becoming the first black economic superpower, with a high sense of melancholy!

The biggest mistake the Eastern Region made was to remain in Nigeria with the Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani after 1st October, 1960! This is the ultimate mistake Zik made!

Unlike some people who were building white elephant projects with no impact on the populace, the Eastern region were ran by pragmatic leaders.
Nkalagu had limestone in commercial quantity, so it made sense to build a cement factory there to exploit the limestone.

PH is connected to Enugu(Nkalagu) by railways, and Trans Amadi industrial estate needed cements for heavy construction going on there, so Portland cement was established in Ph , which depended on limestone and coal transported via Enugu-PH rail to stay afloat, Genius!

You look at these mind blowing facts Pazienza has been dropping and understand the reason why these people connived and remove history from school curriculum

In the spirit of Egbe belu ugo belu.
A hire purchased scheme was instituted by ENDC to enable private companies and individuals from Riverine regions of Eastern region,acquire boats for easy transportation within the region.

Some people should stop making themselves happy

And where is Obudu ranch located? A large expanse of grazing lands with Presidential guest houses. GEJ used to spend his holidays there.

Eastern region did well under Okpara.
But Okpara's time was the same as Akintola, I don't know why you have to open a thread to belittle Awo's achievements.

What were Zik's achievements as premiere of the Eastern region?

I’m coming
