The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim K Idris on Friday, October 26th unveiled the new 2019 model of IVM Granite at Innoson vehicle Manufacturing Company Ltd Nnewi.

The IGP who was ably represented by DIG Agboola Oshodi-Glover during an inspection of the factory, expressed satisfaction at the level of activities going on at the factory and assured the Chairman of Innoson Vehicles, Chief Innocent Chukwuma OFR that he would personally brief the IGP on the facilities on ground and the capacity of the factory to manufacture specific operational vehicles to be used by the Nigerian Police.

DIG Oshodi Glover thereafter assured Chief Chukwuma that the Nigerian Police will patronize Innoson vehicles because of his conviction that the company has the capacity to produce world class standard vehicles.

The unveiling of the new vehicle also saw the commissioning of a new production line by the Executive Governor of Anambra State who was represented by the Deputy Governor, Dr Nkem Okeke. The Governor in his remarks appreciated the tenacity of Chief Chukwuma who against odds has persevered in his determination to put the name of Nigeria among vehicle manufacturers in the world. The Governor called for more patronage from both government and individuals as that is the only way that the vehicle company can be sustained.

Earlier during his welcome address, the Chairman of Innoson Vehicles, Chief Dr Innocent Chukwuma OFR stated that Innoson Vehicles has come this far because of the tremendous support it has received from the Nigerian Government, most especially under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR. Chief Chukwuma stated that under the current administration, Innoson Vehicles signed a memorandum of understanding with the Nigerian Air Force and collaborated with the Nigerian Army Authority for the design, modification, manufacturing and supply of Military vehicles.

Speaking further, “Today we are unveiling our First automated production line section. This section can weld the whole body of a vehicle in four minutes as against six hours when it's done manually.

This new line will greatly increase our capacity as a company from 10,000 to 60,000 annual production units. It will also provide more jobs for our teeming population. As we strive to become one of the leading vehicle manufacturing brands, we shall keep no stone unturned in our determination to be the best.” Chief Chukwuma said.

Other dignitaries at the event include; Hon Chris Azubogu, Dame Virgy Etiaba, HRH Igwe KON Orizu CON, State Commissioners of Police from Anambra, Imo and Enugu, Members of of Anambra State Traditional Ruling Council, Captains of Industries, Members of Anambra State Chambers of Commerce and Industries etc.

The 2019 Edition of IVM Granite is in line with the latest generation of international brand of high end Pick Up. It is a wonder on wheel and has four suspension systems to withstand any terrain. It is ruggedly built for African roads. IVM Granite 2019 is equipped with luxurious and comfortable interior and has a 6 manual transmission plus indirect wire manipulation which is a technology shift system adopted for flexible shaft to control the gearshift mechanism. It is also benchmarked with NVH (Noise Vibration and Harshness) world standard assuring good performance, and the engine is turbo charged to enhance performance.

Two teachers from Anambra State have won the 2018 PRESIDENT'S TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS EXCELLENCE AWARD (PT&SEA).

The teachers are Mrs.Grace Amalachukwu Ezenwa and Mrs. Vera Uju Ikegwuani of Awada Primary School IV, Awada, Obosi in Idemili North LGA and Anglican Girl's Grammar School, Onitsha, Onitsha LGA respectively

While Mrs. Ezenwa emerged OVERALL WINNER in the Best School Administrator category PT&SEA, Mrs Ikegwuani took 4th position in the same category.

They won this award after the Federal Ministry of Education conducted a visit/verification exercise all over the federation, to select teachers and schools with stellar qualities befitting of the award.

The award will be conferred on them on Friday, 5th October at the 2018 World Teacher's Day Celebration at Eagle's Square, Abuja.

Another profound testimonial to the effort the Anambra state government had committed to the development of education and Gov Willie Obiano's passion and commitment to the welfare of both teachers and students in the state.

Recall that the Governor donated over N300m to Mission schools in Anambra State and reiterated his commitment to ensuring free and quality education in all government schools in Anambra state.
He had also motivated teachers by prompt payment of salaries and added incentives to those teaching in hard to access areas of the state amongst other encouragements.

This is the most recent feat achieved by the state since the unflagging commitment of the government in driving development in the education sector. Other outstanding accomplishments by the state include the Golden girls who won the technovation challenge, beating students from over a hundred countries of the world to write their name in gold at Silicon Valley, USA.

Anambra has continued to build on existing achievements to improve in every sector through dedication, commitment, transparency and concerted efforts to remain truly the light of the nation.

The efforts have yielded yet again to deliver today a set of golden teachers.

There are only 21 Federal Medical Centres in Nigeria and 19 Teaching Hospitals (excluding Abuja). That's 40 in total for the 36 states. Only a few states have 2 of these: Ebonyi being one of very few. Anambra has one: a teaching hospital. Same with mighty states like Rivers, Kano, Kaduna, Oyo and Ogun who only have one. While it's true we should aspire for more, your claim was somewhat misleading making it out like we are a rare case.
And Anambra from my experience has one of the highest concentrations of hospitals/clinics/medical centers in the country - mostly private owned. There is greater access to healthcare in Anambra than most states in the federation.

I refused to join in this back and forth but you have stated the truth. You have said it all and that settles it.

They should keep it up. Anambra is the birth place of Nollywood, all the big faces in the industry as well as the producers are mostly Anambra people. Keep it up.
