Not really happy with the bolded. Government is not meant to run business but give enabling environment. The soft loan is a good move but he should dispose of those indisyries ASAP.

http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/09/imo-releases-n5bn-soft-loan-for-communities-to-fast-track-devt-in-90-days/

Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, has said that
about N5 billion has been deposited to the Imo State
Micro–Finance Bank to be disbursed as soft loans to
the 637 communities in the 27 Local Councils.
He said the fund is to establish small and medium
scale industries under the state’s “One Community,
One Factory” programme.
Also, Okorocha has inaugurated about 50 committees
to fast–track development in 90 days in the state’s
three senatorial zones of Imo East (Owerri zone), Imo
West (Orlu zone) and Imo North (Okigwe zone).
Speaking at the Imo State Trade and Investment
Centre, Owerri, at the weekend, the governor said
that government had acquired some of its former
companies, including Paper Packaging Industries,
Orlu and Rasin Paints industry, Mbaise, allegedly sold
by past military administrations.
He enjoined the committees, including that of Local
Government Assessment on Rural development;
Sanitary; Parks Management and Traffic offences;
Street Trading and Beautification and Relocation of
Artisans and Mechanics to Appropriate Places, among
others, to carry their duties with dexterity.
On the loans, Okorocha said the 637 communities
were required to obtain the loans at 7 per cent
interest rate, adding that any communities found
wanting would be merged with another.
He stressed that the aim of the initiative was to
provide jobs through an industrialisation policy,
tackle poverty and create wealth.

Okorocha is in his 2nd tenure and should stop trying to impress. Road works are done during dry season. Anything he's doing there will definitely fail. They should grade the roads and wait for the right season.

I will still say it.
its an insult comparing Aba to some towns/cities in Ogun state. how does having a shop that produces palm sandals or belts corelate with industries.

Google might be of help
Ogun state still leads in terms of industries.
Lagos leads in commerce.

let's be truthful!
even from the igr of the states in question, we already knows the answer.

www.news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/top-stories/219914-ogun-state-nigeria’s-new-industrial-hub.html

Aba is a city while Ogun is a State. The writer made mention of city not State.

why do your people like giving each other hope?
the trash u posted can only happen on the internet.

when did a shop become an industry?
comparing aba to sagamu in ogin state is an insult, to sagamu.
ur problem is : the definition of industry.
oya go back to ur dico.

What he wrote is indisputable. Aba is only 2nd to Lagos in terms of multinational manufacturing industries. When you add local manufacturers it is equally 2nd behind Lagos. When you add micro industries, it might even surpass Lagos.

Attack is the end product of hate speeches. Has any Igbo attacked any Nigerian anywhere? What are u insinuating? You kill yourselves - not Igbos; no Igbo in the process of asking for Biafra has attacked any Nigerian. Igbos don't hate other Nigerians. Any Radio or whatever has not made Igbo hate other Nigerians. Instead, some Nigerians like you who believe they cannot survive without Nigerdelta oil say somebody is preaching hatred against them.

I'm from Niger Delta Igbo myself so I gain more from oil if that is the issue. The issue is the hate speech against Hausa, Yoruba and the entire North and Southwest by radio Biafra. The worst is the claim of other peoples land like Iguocha and other minority area surrounding Igboland. Meanwhile majority of your people are living there.

The "radio Biafra" I will support is the one that will

1) preach Igbo unity

2) Encourage Igbos to locate their business headquatres in Igboland

3) Encourage good leadership

4) Condemn tribalism and religious intolerance

5) Allow Niger Deltans be and stop the disgusting attache by force.

6) Preach against get rich quick syndrome

7) Embark on scholarship scheme for brainy Igbis from poor background

Let me stop at this 7 as the list is endless.

This hospital is the greatest thing Igbos will collectively do since we built the Imo Airport. If we work together we can build the 2nd Niger bridge in 6 months without all these 30 years of insult from IBB, Obasanjo and Jonathan.

abagoro/Abagworo,

I can bet that you are not Igbo. What "another massacre" are you insinuating?
Look, Nigeria is a signatory to the UN. So any fiam - any massacre of unarmed innocent people - whoever is on top in Nigeria goes to The Hague to face justice.

Scottish people even went to Downing Street to campaign/clamour for independent for Scotland from Britain.

The massacre is the end result of the way radio Biafra is broadcasting. Instead of it to be calling for Igbos to return home and invest which will see gradual reduction of our population in other parts of Nigeria, it rather broadcast hate words that will lead to a clash with our host communities. The end is the rest of Nigeria as usual uniting to kill Igbos like chicken.

Another investment this time from people like me who trully love Igboland and not the Jonathanians hell bent of making Igbos victims of what they are innocent of.

I'm loving the level of investments pouring into Imo State in the past 3 months of Buhari's admin and Okorocha's 2nd tenure which has run into billions of Dollars. I don't expect wicked TANoids to acknowledge it but the icing on the cake is when our various highways deliberately neglected by past regime are gradually tackled.

God bless Okorocha

God bless every Igboman that puts our interest and Nigerian interest ahead of Jonathans failed wicked regime

God bless these diasporan Igbos who found it wiser to save lives by investing heavily in health sector instead of paying Nnamdi Kanu to create enemity and another massacre of innocent Igbos.

Obasanjo raises hope on 2nd Niger bridge

PRESIDENT Olusegun Obasanjo last night reiterated his
administration’s resolve to refurbish the River Niger bridge
and also disclosed that work on the proposed second bridge
will commence soon.

President Obasanjo revealed these while speaking during
the monthly media programme.
Noting that the government cannot afford to ignore the
existing bridge, President Obasanjo said work on the
proposed new six-lane bridge will commence in the next six
months once the National Assembly passes the law which
will protect private sector investments in the country.
"You don’t ignore refurbishing a bridge until you have a new
one. We have to refurbish and strengthen the existing
bridge to avoid calamity.

"A new six-lane bridge to be built by both the public and
private sectors is coming soon. A bill to protect private
investments is already in the National Assembly. Within six
months of signing into law of the bill, if it is not the raining
season, the second Onitsha-Asaba bridge will commence,"
President Obasanjo explained.

On the Onitsha-Owerri road, the president expressed
optimism that work on the road project will soon be
completed, explaining that the project has been awarded to
two contractors with each working from the Onitsha and
Owerri axis respectively.

FG revokes N59bn 2nd Niger Bridge contract
on june 17, 2010 at 2:55 am in news
Facebook Share Twitter Share

….Denies N10bn budget jump for Independence celebration
By Daniel Idonor
THE Federal Executive Council, FEC, yesterday, at its weekly
meeting, terminated the non-performing N58.6 billion
Second Niger Bridge contract.

The plum contract, Vanguard gathered, was cancelled due
to lack of competence on the side of the consultant, as
government said a job of such magnitude required the
services of an internationally-acclaimed consultant.

FEC had at its meeting of 6 May 2007 approved the award of
the contract on Public Private Partnership, PPP, to an
Italian firm, Gitto Construction Company, on concession
arrangement for 30 years to be constructed within 36
months for N58.6 billion.

The equity participation for the project was 60 per cent
private and 40 per cent public, of which the governmentâ
€™s equity was 20 per cent and 10 per cent each for
Anambra and Delta state governments. For several reasons,
the project could not be executed.

But, briefing State House Correspondents after the meeting,
the Minister of Information and Communications, Professor
Dora Akunyili and her Minister of State, Mr. Labaran Maku,
said: â€œafter consideration, Council approved the
vacation of EC (2007) 18th Meeting, Conclusion 39 of
Wednesday 16Â May, 2007 and approved that the Ministry
of Works should engage a reputable project consultant and
commence a new procurement process for an award of
contract for the Second Niger Bridge project, on a fast-track
basis.

You fool.

I never tagged any Christian a pagan but rightly pointed out that Catholiscm is not Christianity and will never be.

In the context of that thread, I stated that only God's divine assistance can restore the Nation of Biafra and not military might as in 1966.

You later came in with the argument that Israel and Biafrans do not practice the same religion from where I then asked you which religion did Jesus practice when he was on earth? To which you never answered.

Have you bothered to ask yourself why Boko Haram has stopped attacking Catholic churches and only concentrates on protestant churches? Your catholic church pulled out of CAN in 2012 on the orders of your pope and with it the bombings stopped.
Your Pope has since aligned himself and your church with Islamic jihad.

This is why the likes of that sodomite priest Mbaka suddenly began campaigning for that jihadist Buhari.

Guy you need to visit a psychiatric hospital. Catholic pulled out of CAN because Jonathan made it a political forum. Your Biafra cannot even fight Catholic population in Igboland. Like the guy above wrote, Nnamdi Kanu should desist from creating religious crisis in Igboland.

Having traveled through the length and width of the south east, I have seen with my eyes and concluded that Goodluck was the worst thing that happened to the south east. The federal roads in Imo state are even fair when compared to our brother state Abia state. Aba to Ikot Ekpene is a death trap. Aba to Port harcourt will destroy your car for ever. Owerri to Port harcourt road will spoil your engine forever. Enugu to Onitsha road will cause you malaria. The list is endless. Let nobody crucify Okorocha unjustly. We should tackle him in his own failings and not in the idiotic failings of Goatluck!

Not just Southeast but South south. Right now the only road into Port-Harcourt is East/West road. There is no road connecting Akwa Ibom and Cross River States to the rest of Nigeria.

abagoro my dear, I can't lie against anybody because I get nothing from doing that.

Udenwa government rehabilitated Ihialla to Orlu road to Anara and Amaraku first thing during its first term, because Udenwa was able to understand the importance of the road to economic growth in Orlu; later, the federal government refunded IMSG.
The same government built the Orlu sport stadium which Okorocha government destroyed.
The same government built the Orlu to Umuowa to Nkwume road which Okorocha government scrapped and abandoned in the last four years. Add the total length of Ihioma road, Amaibo rd, Owus Avenue and the other which Okorocha made double lane, they don't add up to the length of the destroyed Orlu-Umuowa-Nkwume road.

Okorocha is now with the ruling party, if he can repair vital federal roads in Imo state and ask the federal government for refund, we shall be singing praises for him.

You are lying. Why the lies? Obasanjo government rehabilitated the road and awarded the Orlu-Owerri road and Onitsha-Owerri road to Julius Berger. He equally awarded the Ihiala to Anara as well as Oba to Okigwe. I wonder why you would twist glaring truth.

The Orlu Nkume Road has never been good to the best of my knowledge. There was somewhere around Menacorde cut almost 10 years ago by erosion. What you should do is to bring your problem to the Governor than accuse him falsely.

then that makes it a federal road. Which has been my contention. I thought Owerri-Okigwe road was the part that ended at the express and okigwe-Afikpo road that passes through okigwe town is a different one.
Be that as it may, Rochas can rehabilitate Owerri-Okigwe end. As it connects 2 major Imo towns. Is he not the one trying to dualise okigwe township road? Why not take it all the way to Owerri.
The Oba-Nnewi-Okigwe road is good all the way to Akokwa in Imo state. Why can he just complete the Imo end - Arondizuuogu-Agbobu-Umulolo end

That is why I wonder how some of you will see the level of wickedness against us by Jonathan but still go ahead to defend him. Look at these two roads.

From Ihiala to Anara was stopped at Imo boundary and from Oba to Okigwe was stopped at Imo boundary. Isn't it obvious that they were intentional. If Obasanjo did not complete the Imo part of Owerri-Onitsha road the story would not have been different.
