ak47mann:
last time I was in aguleri I notice that where the oil wells are located obiano use a lot of local armed vigilantes they patrol along those areas with fully equipped innosson trucks and motor cycles like 39 of them I counted

The entire area has a water-tight security. You could see the armed security personel stationed even on the road leading to the oil fields. No more Kogi invaders since this measures were put in place.

I hope the issues caused by envy have been resolved. Also, have Orient been able to achieve increase in production and discoveries.

Orient petroleum has stepped up production from 6000bpd in 2015 to about 12000bpd in 2016. With the increased infrastructural development by the government in the area they are geared towards achieving over 20k by the end of 2016.

Obiano came and developed from the scratch 2 brand new bridges leading to the oil fields in the northern part of Anambra. Today people can drive straight to the oil installations and facilities.

In Recession: Anambra Gov Completes Longest Bridge + 4 others within 2 Years, Pays Salaries, Pensions... #ObianoEffect.

In a country where infrastructural development is totally halted and hardworking civil servants are hardly paid due to economic hardship, it takes superior ability, special effort and great courage for a Governor to complete 5 bridges amongst other infrastructures and constantly pay salaries and pensions.

Ndi Anambra just got their September salaries paid and below is the longest bridge in South East Nigeria courtesy.

What's the area of Anambra? Where's the space to be food basket of Africa? Nigerians need exposure. Do you know that a city like Seattle is as large as all the south east states combined? Anambra is just a town or suburb. Lynden farms is equally developing infrastructures on greenhouse farm, this produces high yields devoid of pests and rodents.

Modern farming like the one in the video does not require the entire sahara desert but a parcel of land that can be farmed several times in a year. Like the Cosharis farm below is one of the numerous farms in Anambra North and it is farmed for 2 seasons in a year.

Politics › CBN: Anambra Has The Potentials To Be Food-basket Of Nigeria & African Continent by AmericanQuarter(op): 1:21pm On Sep 22, 2016

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said that Anambra State has the potentials of becoming not only Nigeria’s food basket, but also providing food for the African Continental and beyond.
Consequently, the apex bank charged the state to bring to bear its excellent performance in commerce to agriculture to make the dream become a reality.

Stating this in a speech he delivered on behalf of the Director, Development Finance Department of the CBN, during the flag-off of Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) in Anambra State, the bank’s Branch Controller, Awka Branch, Mr. C.M. Sokari, assured the state that the ABP would contribute in no small measure to realizing the goal of the state becoming a food basket.

He noted that several intervention programmes have been floated by the CBN in collaboration with the Federal Government to diversify the nation’s economic base away from crude oil, adding that ABP was launched by the apex bank to reposition agriculture in the scheme of things in the country.

“To fund the programme, the CBN had set aside N40 billion from the N220 billion Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Fund for farmers at a single-digit rate of nine per cent.
“…Nigeria, as we may all know, is a mjor rice producer with over 20 key rice producing states in the country most of which cultivate during both wet and dry seasons. Rice is one crop in which the country has comparative advantage to easily become self-sufficient, given the huge potentials that exist.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria has set the ball rolling and shown commitment to this programme and, therefore, expects that farmers and all relevant stakeholders in Anambra State would reciprocate by contributing their very best towards ensuring the successful implementation of this laudable programme,” he said.

Sokari commended Governor Willie Obiano and his team for the laudable achievements the state has made and his support for agriculture and agricultural developmental programmes, including taking a bold lead in the export of vegetable to Europe and other Western countries.

“I, therefore, enjoin us all to embrace this programme and collaborate with both the CBN and the state government in ensuring that in the next few years our great country Nigeria will no longer be one of the world’s highest importers of rice, but a net exporter of the commodity,” he said.

Micro Finance Expert with Rural Finance Institution Building Programme (RUFIN), Mr Adamu Ibrahim, in his remarks said the main focus of RUFIN was on the people at the bottom of the pyramid, noting that 70 per cent of the Nigerian population live in the rural areas and are mostly famers.

“The ABP for rice in Anambra is peculiar in the sense that all the partners have interest in RUFIN. First of all Anambra State is a RUFIN participating state, not only participating, also financially. In fact, in all our states only Anambra State is current in payment of its counterpart funding,” he said.

The State Commissioner for Agriculture, Mechanization, Processing and Export, Mr Afam Mbanefo, in his speech described the Anambra governor as an agro friendly executive, stressing that Governor Obiano had supported all the innovations being put in place by his ministry.
He disclosed that the position of the government was to make sure there was a safe playing ground for the farmers in the state to participate in the programme, to retain the state brand and heritage, which is the Anambra State rice, to engage the youths and empower the farmers.
Mbanefo assured the CBN of the cooperation of the farmers and urged the apex bank to extend the ABP to other agriculture sectors

I thought you said you are from Anambra or a resident, the ongoing roads I posted do you know where it is located? I think you lack an understanding of what's city expansion and opening if you cannot see it in that picture.

how have I contradicted my self? Can you just make meaning from what I wrote? OK let me clear your clouded head, a town Likethat is virtually on the ex road, don't you think the monies used to build at least two flyovers could have been used to open up the town?

I am not sure you are from Anambra nor know what is happening in the state. These are some of the worldclass roads being done in Awka by Obiano. The city is fast expanding. The flyovers are worthy for traffic control and aesthetics even tourism as it is quite unique and most beautiful in the southeast area.

B4 u know it, that road will start spooling from those spots I mentioned.

If you look closely on road near NNPC you will notice that work is still ongoing on that section!
