Wike's road project was a "patch-patch" project i.e maintenance project for porthole-less free road. That is quite different from dualization ,remodeling and rehabilitation of roads as the case of Enugu state. For transparency reasons, the projects go through a bidding process before contracts are awarded. Don't masturbate on something you know nothing about.

Not making excuses for Hon. Ugwuanyi, but the budgets are not same.

I think Chime completed some structures at Esut and parklane that was started by Chimaroke, like the second/third hostel at Esut.

Stolen:
Chei since Chime left no more picture update from Enugu.




We are already missing Chime.

What you have advised is precisely what a wise business man should concentrate on doing right now.I wish they do so as a union instead of individually. Some great locations already exist, such as the wonderful Aba Mega mall, the Oba International market, the abandoned Enugu Intl. market at ninth mile area can offer locations for such businesses to relocate. Electronics traders can go to Oba, textile traders to Aba mall and Enugu will be a mixture of all.
But you know, they will not do anything if it is not an emergency yet. So don't expect people to heed your advise and start moving some of their assets to the safety of the south east. Which is precisely what a wise person should be doing right now.

Likewise, we must impress on our governors to open up industrial layouts quickly. Emene and ninth mile in Enugu, Kpirikpiri area in Abakaliki, Agu Awka in Awka, Osisioma and Onicha ngwa area for Aba, World bank and Egbeada area for Owerri and "33" Nsugbe or Oba area for Onitsha. It is an abomination for an industrialist willing to set up a factory in the southeast to be looking for industrial layouts in Igboland

^^^This is why i reckon Princess Stella is miles better than Osita Chidoka! Instead of him to have used the time he was minister to properly reposition AIIA for growth as an international airport, he was busy blowing grammar and carrying 'one Nigeria' for head like persin wey dey hawk groundnut!

I've noticed most of our political elite from the South East and South South tend to act this way while others use any opportunity they have to grab and locate everything to their region and favour their kinsfolk over others! GEJ is another example of the type of elite we produce.....too scared and wanting to act all fair and shi't!

Goodluck to any brother who thinks that under a Buhari presidency AIIA will get the necessary assistance and all it needs to be established and progress as a new international airport!

l shouttd about this, the whole of IMT campus and ESUT old sites has been allocated and buildings completed on them. What is really happening?

Cjrane2:

That building is a legendary icon.
Hope it is completed and put to use soon. Importantly, i hope the interior is brought to true world class International Conference Center standard such as in the third picture.

sadly, right now, all the land meant for hotel and parking space of conference attendees have been poached by land grabbers and houses built on them.

@bolded, that's what is evidently lacking in our system of governance. We hardly engage in mega plan or project just because we want projects started and completed within one's tenure just to take credit. The day we discard this selfish-gain oriented projects and policies for a more collective approach is the day we move faster in this country.
Our continuity is still primitive. if for instance Ideke had won in Enugu, the centenary city, the only mega project in Enugu state [ a project for Enugu state not for Chime] would have gone down the drain. I hope it doesn't get abandoned even under a PDP government, after all Chime never talked about the Enugu International Conference Centre not to think of completing it.

eaglechild:

You implied that all the roads in Enugu city are in good shape when someone said that the governor is working on Emene roads.
Then you said unless he wants to start demolishing the already good roads, he should not forget Nsukka.

That sounds rather clannish.

spyder880:


Udi is a massively developed town with tarred roads leading to every village, hamlet, bush path and even reads to their streams all tarred

I had many pictures, maybe I will dig it up later. I even suspect all of Sullivan's girlfriends when he was in primary school got new roads to their fathers compounds in Udi

ZeroTolerance:
Are you one of those that just sit in an armchair faraway and make conclusions? Do you think Enugu has more population than all the rural areas put together? Nsukka alone will give Enugu a good run for her money in terms of population and the people who live there also deserve a comfortable life. What about the agricultural products that come from the rural areas? Going by your reasoning, the governor can even start demolishing already good roads in Enugu and rebuilding them rather than build or repair anyone in the rural areas.

ZeroTolerance:
He should remember his place Nsukka, it is roadless. His government should focus a bit on the rural areas.

spyder880:
Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has started building roads. I noticed yesterday that Emene central road is being reconstructed. Many drainages, culverts etc going on, it caused a major traffic jam in Emene yesterday but we dont mind.

spyder880:


Hmmmm do you think it is profitable to do so, especially where the cows will be kept in one location because our people may not have time to move about.

cjrane:


The clueless dullard is confused. He claims he doesn't have enough foreign exchange to develop Nigeria, but will waste the little remaining on importation of furniture , mattress and toothpicks.

Na dem sabi. Most of their economic actions are targeted on ruining local factories they feel are in the hands of their enemies. That is why I always wonder why Nigeria has one of the most expensive beef price in the world, but they will never authorize beef importation to bring price of local beef down. Because Fulanis control that business.

From afar, Gburugburu doesn't appear seasoned and visionary to me

passion007:

The dwindling oil fortunes has opened up new ways of thinking for public office holders. Enugu, with a budget of 89 billion, and IGR of 19 billion, would hit the rocks had the state not opted to do things differently. I welcome the advisory committee. At least, these are all high achieving men and I don't think any of them is digging for gold (No gold in Enugu BTW).
Rockefeller only named Enugu as the city to watch out for in Nigeria.
Lastly, I think Ugwuanyi should take his time to get his foundation right. That way, he would deserve whatever encomiums his administration earns, as well as be responsible for mistakes, and answerable to heavy criticism, should he err.

The hotel was sold out towards end of Chime's administration.




That's a good news.

tranxo:
Spyder I don't know, but you seem to have something against Chime for not completing this centre in his tenure. I think this mindset is limiting. Government should not be seen as a personal thing, where Governors embark on only projects that can be started and commissioned during their tenure. I know he should have done something about the ICC but maybe there are more to it than just the ebe-ano rivalry.
The main thing is that money for the diagnostic centre seem to be secure, based on the steady progress on the construction. Passed there today and a signage bearing its name is already up.
My only disappointment remains the state of hotel presidential.

As a matter of fact, once we have stable electricity to enable use of elevators, we can actually begin making our apartment buildings to reach 11 or 12 floors as in the picture.It will save land and enable people have decent cheap housing.

I am not interested in all those crap they wrote there. My annoyance is, how can EFCC and Court ground companies built with state fund for over a decade, for what!! I refuse to accept that as fighting corruption. It's retrogressive. They should presucute and sentence who ever is found guilt, and either hand over the properties to the state or auction them. It's serious economic loss to the state closing down those companies for years! It's too annoying...another governor has finished his first term, second term and you're still prosecuting the previous governor. Rainbownet could have employed a sizable number of people by now, same with Cosmo fm and their planned Tv station.
