Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has inaugurated a six-member newly reconstituted Post Primary Schools Management Board, PPSMB, with a charge to the members to arrest the decline in discipline in secondary schools in the state.

The board members are Messrs Nestor Ezeme, Chairman; Obi Kama and Clement Inyaba.

Others include Mrs. Obiageli Igwesi, Mrs. Veronica Ezeugwu as part-time members with Mrs. Favour Ugwuanyi the Permanent Secretary of the board as Secretary.

It was an occasion when the chairman of the new school board called on Governor Ugwuanyi to declare a state of emergency on computer education in the secondary school system in the state in view of the obvious lack of computer literacy among the greater population of the students.

Addressing the gathering on the occasion of the inauguration of the board members at the Government House, Enugu, Governor Ugwuanyi enjoined them, “to instill in the teachers and other workers, a new sense of discipline, diligence and responsibility that should reflect on the performance and character of their students”.

The governor warned that,”government would no longer tolerate inefficiency, redundancy, nonchalance and any unnecessary squabbles and intrigues both in the board and in schools”.

In his words, “we would therefore in this regard expect an instant and significant improvement in the performance of our children in WAEC, NECO, JAMB and other external examinations.”

Why does everyone want airport and seaport in their village? Enugu does not need airport. The Akwa Ibom international airport and the Ibaka Seaport(one of the deepest in the entire world) should be enough to serve akwa ibom,Cross river,Imo,Abia and the entire southern region. Calabar Airport will be the reserve airport for emergency landing and local flights. It is a waste of money and time building any other airport .
Also,Akwa ibom is going to close and secure the Akwa ibom teritorial waters in the western bank due to global warming.I wonder where the Abia and Onitsha will manufacture ocean to build seaport.

are you sure you are ok?

Stolen:
the new one will be smaller. more reason Nnamdi is right. just compare it.

one nigeria can never work.


it is either hausa and yoruba kill us all or they let us go or we kill them all.


one must happen for there to be peace.


igbos have, had enough of this forced marriage.

I wish your pdp did what they were supposed to do when they had all the time in the world

^^^Ignore the guy! He's just looking for someone to wind up this morning!

If they manage to secure funds for a seaport at Obuaku let him go and stand in the way of the bulldozers, and when asked what the fuc/k he's doing he can say he doesn't want Igbos to have a seaport....that they should use the one at Ibaka! And while he's at it, he can add that he wants AIIA Enugu closed as well....that igbos should use the ones in Port Harcourt and Uyo!

It's obvious the type of individual he is so ignore him!

How can we develop African architecture, or adopt some good practices to reduce building costs and also introduce some convenience. I am tired of this concrete craze, even for those who are building small houses like bungalows.

[size=18pt]Rammed Earth and Recyclable Materials[/size]

I've already suggested rammed earth which more advanced countries are slowly moving to. Also wood and recycled materials like plastics would not only be cheap but would visually break up the depressing cement look of buildings in Nigeria. For example when you look at a house in Nigeria it's just a box of cements, while

This is the science center of a girls school in Australia made from rammed earth and other recyclable materials.


http://www.earthstructures.co.uk/

These are other buildings/renderings that were built with rammed earth and recyclable materials. It's funny because the idea of using mud and recyclable materials like ceramics is indigenous to Nigeria, but as I've said Nigerians/Africans do not think that anything of their is good enough, but that's simply ignorance and they'd rather build shabby imitations of various conflated European architectures from neo-Classical to Mediterranean.







"The structure was built using 200 tons of rammed Earth, a composite of regional dirt and pigments, compressed into 30” thick walls. This adds significant thermal mass to the building’s whole, optimal for temperature regulation. Bearing the structural load, these dense walls allow the space to exist free from obstructions, ideal for a simplified interior and exhibiting artwork."

For example when you look at a house in Nigeria it's just a box of cements

My biggest concern is really using the cheapest locally adapted technology which uses 100% of materials in our environment to make good homes.

In the USA, wood is the preferred material because they have vast land with lots and lots of trees which they convert every year to building materials and immediately plant more.

In the SE Nigeria, we have lots of limestone and rocks,albeit under-utilized. however the technology presently used in building our homes which is Cement and rocks is indeed the best based on our natural endowments.The fact we are able to build houses is because the technology is easily available and the materials easily accessible. If we had to depend on foreign contractors to build houses, we would be having the same problems we have in the road making sector. So to make the technology to build good homes easily available to laborers is indeed a good strategy. we must achieve that too in our road making capability. We should begin looking inwards where we can contract out road making to a small company of 3-5 people, just as we contract building homes to small local companies.

I am really concerned about our insistence on Asphalt for road/ street making in Nigeria. Our soil type has proven that this method is indeed not appropriate for making long lasting roads in our environment. This poor strategy of using asphalt has perpetually forced us to keep repairing the same roads we built since independence without adding more. Our entire annual state budgets every year goes into rehabilitation and repair of earlier built roads. We rarely have built new roads which is a really damning fact to how we have wasted our resources over the years as a nation.

We must consider the use of concrete to make roads and the use of interlocking stones. I heard there is a machine easily available in South Africa and China that is able to pave great lengths of roads with interlocking bricks in very little time and this has been proven to last very very many decades before they ever go bad.

We must import some of these interlocking roads making machines and also popularize the machines that make the bricks used for these roads. Our state ministries of works can master the use of these and then we can award them intra city road building contracts. These will create jobs within our ministries while building our capacity to build our own roads. All these billions of naira wasted in getting one or two foreign construction firms to build us fake asphalt roads which will break down within 6 months to 1 year will then be saved from leaving the country. While we continuously improve our own internal capacity to build these durable roads while creating jobs internally for our own engineers and school leavers.

America the richest country in the world or even South Africa does not use foreign construction companies to do their roads,even when they can afford it and those German companies as Julius berger will probably do a better job than their own local American companies.
Why must we keep bleeding away our resources to foreign construction companies, instead of developing our own capacity?

Picture 1 = Enugu neighborhood houses of cement and using local plastic tiles for roofing
Picture 2 = American neighborhood houses of wood and using shingles for roofing

Both neighborhoods have decent homes in spite of using very different building materials. We have won the fight about using local paints for our houses than the imported paints. That has helped create a few paint factories that have survived over the years.

In this particular American neighborhood, perhaps due to their soil type or due to having a concrete slab making factory close to them, they decided to use concrete slabs for the streets and sidewalks. Likewise, we should also have our streets made with concrete roads or with interlocking stones built locally using our local contractors. Then we would have finally started moving in the right direction in our construction industry. This issue is of the highest national importance, as it will help create massive amount of good paying jobs locally, while reducing capital flight which has killed the Nigerian economy that is so addicted to using foreign construction companies for even the simplest street level jobs.

Thank you for your incisive posts -very enlightening.Though I get disappointed when I see you involved in tribal bashing.That aside, your suggestions on this thread and the Anambra thread are always spot on!

Not all Igbos can keep quiet and watch our name dragged to the mud by other tribes.

Thank you Bro.

I had told my story of NL in the Anambra thread when it was newly started. So I won't repeat it here. Suffice to say if yorubas and Hausas bashing Igbos were illiterate ediots, i would never join issues with those caliber of people.
To the contrary, if you see the calibre of yorubas plotting against Igbos and doing all the calumny & bashing all over the the internet, some are medical doctors, have PhDs and are University professors! It will be crass stupidity if Igbos like me who aren't even have as educated or half their age, ignore such yorubas in the name of being civil. That is what has irked me so much to join NL and voice my own disapproval.

I think it is a grave mistake on our part as Igbos to always erroneously think we are Nigerians first before being Igbo.
Every other group in nigeria think differently and our inability to comprehend this fact does not in any way spare us from its consequence.

Does EFCC still harassing travelers flying from enugu int airport? my friend is flying ethiopian airline from london direct flight 2 enugu airport we discuss something in that nature and what amaze me the most is that in lagos airport you can travel with any amount, just want to verify from good source

Can we open up a new area along the road to Abakaliki for low income estates? Something resembling the Federal housing estate, Abakpa, where people can actually invest.
Part of the strategy for affordable homes is building where the land is cheap. Land used to me cheap in Emene, but not any more.We need a new area to help in the quest of giving low income workers the hope of owning their own house.

Contractors Back to Sites in Enugu


There was visible excitement among residents of Enugu State when as heavy duty equipment of construction companies have moved back to sites at the eight roads recently awarded by the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s of Enugu State.

This came as the members of the Enugu Urban Renewal Committee led by its Chairman, Mr. Chris Offor, on Friday visited some of the sites to ascertain the level of commitment of the contractors in mobilising to sites to commence work.

Addressing the residents in the areas visited, the Committee Chairman told them that their visit was in line with the directive of the State Governor to ensure that contractors handling the roads mobilise to site to commence work immediately.

He disclosed that the governor was in a hurry to commence action on the roads and was equally committed to develop the entire state through aggressive urban and rural development programmes that would open up economic opportunities in the state as well alleviate the sufferings of the people.

He noted that the early commencement of construction works at the eight awarded roads was a welcome development which proves the seriousness of the present administration to bring meaningful development to the doorsteps of the electorate.

Residents said that the commencement of the reconstruction of Abakpa-Nike and Nike lake roads, the Opi-Nsukka dual carriage road, the 9th mile corner bypass, among others, was a good omen for the state and an indication that Ugwuanyi meant business and was sensitive to the plight of the people.

They assured the governor of their readiness to make sacrifices and collaborate with government to ensure the success of the projects, to ease traffic congestion in the area.
