What is it with the current ministry of work and delay of contacts and work? Thank God work has finally resume on Enugu/Onitsha expressway after work was stopped because of construction issue between RCC and the new minister of works; though the matter which is on the table of the Senate has not been resolved completely.

The minister of works is insisting that all federal roads should be concrete Base instead of stone base which RCC are using.
For me; well constructed stone base which has proven to be best and stand test of time is better than over hyped concrete base. Concrete base crakes/ tear months after completion. What happens is... When concrete base road is heated under normal temperature, it expands on the lines (point) were the concrete are joined by square meters, coursing crack and tear on the concrete base/ asphalt.

Below is example from some Ebonyi concrete roads including airport road and runway.

What's your opinion on this?

I don't understand. Is Umahi a quack or he is syphoning public fund with white elephant project?

Below is the yet to be used Ebonyi airport runway that was completed few months ego.

They have maped out billions of naira to reconstruct a yet to be used runway from concrete to asphalt. Reason: They said that asphalt is now better than concrete which can course wears and tears to the tyres.

Does that mean Engr. Umahi do not know all these before using and advocating for poorly constructed concrete road?

Anambra Student Excels As Overall Best Female Candidate In 2023 NECO

Anambra Student Excels As Overall Best Female Candidate In 2023 NECO
Ifebube Chelsea Benson, an 18-year-old prodigy hailing from Ndikelionwu in Orumba North Council Area, has etched her name in the annals of Anambra’s academic prowess by clinching the title of the overall best female candidate in the 2023 National Examination Council (NECO) Senior School Certificate Examinations (SSCE).


The NECO SSCE, an annual litmus test evaluating the knowledge and capabilities of high school students nationwide, witnessed Ifebuche’s stellar performance, outshining her peers across the country to secure this coveted distinction.

Ifebuche’s brilliance shone through in nine subjects, including Mathematics, English Language, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and three others. Her remarkable academic feat has earned her the distinguished accolade of the best overall female candidate nationally in the 2023 SSCE, a testament to her dedication and intellectual prowess.

NECO plans to recognize and honor Ifebuche’s outstanding achievement with an Award of Excellence at their upcoming annual event in Niger State later this year.

Christian Aburime, the Press Secretary to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, commented on this remarkable feat, attributing Ifebuche’s success to her unwavering commitment and hard work. He expressed confidence that her accomplishments would continue to illuminate the state, leaving an indelible mark on her family, school, and the entire Anambra community.

Aburime remarked, “Her achievement not only brings pride to her family and school but also adds glory to the state of Anambra. Ifebuche’s stellar performance sets a formidable benchmark for future students, and her success story stands as an inspiration for many aspiring minds to follow in her illustrious footsteps.”

“Anambra, renowned for excellence in all fields, celebrates yet another outstanding academic success. Ifebuche has achieved remarkable heights, reinforcing Anambra’s legacy of excellence,” concluded Mr. Aburime.

You obviously do not know your people very well............Most of the killings are done by opportunistic criminals and believe it or not by hirelings of the security agencies....! Yes,there have been a lot of "false flag" operations carried out by our own Igbo youth sponsored by security agents! That is obvious to any discerning individuals...........where I have issues with Simon Ekpa is that he has not maintained the kind of tactical discipline that was the hallmark of the iPOB led by Nnamdi kanu but believe it or not Simon Ekpa is actually a better strategist.................his activities has been more impactful! ............My fear about Simon Ekpa is that he may not be as pragmatic as Nnamdi kanu! Truth is that IPOB/ESN has made its point and the masses have also endured a lot of hardship as well........Unfortunately our naive southeast politicians did not cease the opportunity of the agitation to force more concessions from the dominant fulani/yoruba ruling class..............Aside fiscal autonomy.......they should have fought for some kind of state or regional police as well! ESN really panicked them.....that was why APC established the Nasir el rufai led costitutional amendment committee, today states are free to establish rail lines and set up their own independent power systems..........Liberty is not free,its field is irrigated by the blood of genuine patriots and heroes.........

Give whatever reasons you want to give, there is no justification to the evil agenda of haters against Anambra State.

I am glad Imo state election came and pass peaceful like we payed... Let's wait until Anambra State election.

RIP to the deceased

pandax:
Amorka in Imo State

there are lots of spelling mistake in that list.

I think it should be Akokwa, Imo state which shares boundary with Uga, Anambra through Amawbia/Ekwulobia road. Amorka is not in anyway connected to Amawbia/Ekwulobia road. Moreover; Amorka is a town in Ihiala LGA of Anambra State which is Anambra boundary town with Mgbidi, Imo state.

Good to see Onitsha Owerri expressway/ erosion in the list. I hope they deliver ASAP

DeathToSimps:
Soludo hates Nnewi. It's very obvious at this point.

Because why is Nnewi not getting aggressive development like Awka and Onitsha. Mind you this is the third most economically important town in Anambra.
From Peter Obi to Obiano down to Soludo have all neglected Nnewi.

Very bad and disgusting.

No brother, don't say that. Nobody hate Nnewi, it's just that the cost of dualizing a road in Nnewi will be 2X what it will cost in Onitsha because Nnewi indigens are very hard nut to crack. Eg. is Nnewi shopping mall. But believe me, the development will reach everywhere, we are urging our people to see reasons with government and sacrifice what ever it costs to make Anambra State one mega city. especially Ndi Awka and Nnewi.

Talking about Amawbia/Ekwulobia road dualization, it is long over due and I think it's federal government project. We pray they deliver.

This is to inform you that the beneficiaries of this scheme who also passed through UNIZIK business school has started receiving their #400,000 each.

Recall that last two weeks, Gov. Soludo/ANSG graduated the first batch of 5000 youths who have undergone about 8 months of intensive trainings across various skills and vocations in our 1Youth 2Skills program. And rolled out a cheque (grants) as seed capitals to the tune of two billion Naira (N2,000,000,000) to help them start up. Through the Anambra Small Business Agency (ASBA), He also made available funds that they can access as loans to scale up their enterprise at single digit interest rate.

In a bid to ensure that beneficiaries of the 1Youth 2Skills initiative succeed, ANSG grouped them into cooperatives for ease of monitoring and provision of mentorship. The next batch of the program is underway. Our target is to make sure that no youth in Anambra is without a skill or two.

Take care of your ears because more stories are coming

Ive eji Abu Onitsha Erika. Congratulations to all Onitsha indigens.
Anambra amaka

Ebubu:
He will contest for Anambra state governor after Soludo and defeat him.

Ifeanyi Ubah is loved in Anambra.

I can’t forget his security strategy that revamped Onitsha security during the sit at home mayhem.


God bless Ifeanyi Ubah

God bless APC.

Hope he’s supporting Dave Umahi as the next Igbo Presidential candidate of APC?

I guess u are from Ebonyi state? Abakaliki is written all over your comment.

Well, he joined APC to tussle Igbo president slot with Unahi, Okorocha and co because APGA is winning Anambra back to back.

ChimaAdeoye:
When our prominent people collect and celebrate these useless certificates from irrelevant Nigerian institutions I just wonder if they are truly awake to what is happening around them. Let's face it, these people should seriously be seeking partnerships with some African countries where they would fly and could be a flag carrier for them.

In fact, they could float alternative airlines registered in those African countries, and then utilize their international airports as hubs for traveling into key European and North American international routes via that country's capital city. Leaving all their operations within Nigeria and banking on being allowed to grow in Nigeria is a strategic error that they would regret in the future. Many West and Central African countries like Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry are a few that would gladly partner to have a flag carrier. Even Dangote with all his connections within Nigeria's Federal Government understood that he had to build cement factories in other African countries as a strategic growth initiative and not solely depend on its Nigerian operation as its only strategy.

I personally don't believe that Boeing or Airbus will set up in a Sub-Saharan African country (Except South Africa). Talk more about leaving the national airports of those countries and setting up in their regional airports. Foreign investors are not that stupid to invest billions of dollars in immovable assets in a country like Nigeria with a very weak Judiciary and other infrastructure such as electricity etc. Only hangers built by a Nigerian airline in any airport of their choice can happen in Nigeria.

Like I said earlier, if we call it a need we can achieve it. In 2009 when the CEO of Innoson motors shared his plan of setting up Automobile manufacturing plant in Nigeria, Anambra to be precise; they discouraged him. Saying that it is impossible. Some even told him That Nigeria and Africa except South Africa is not due for such heavy industry.... Today Innoson (Nigeria first indigenous automobile manufacturing company) is a household name. Today Anambra is Nigeria indigenous Automobile manufacturing capital hosting Innoson, OMAA,...

Anambra have the manpower/ capacity to host Aeroplane maintenance hanger if only we call it a need.

Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, CEO United Nigeria Airline congratulates Dr. Allen Onyema, CEO Airpeace Airline who was conferred with a Doctor of Management Science by the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, at the institution's 33rd Convocation Ceremony on the 28th of September, 2023.

As a state, we have attained a certain level in airline transport; of course aeroeconomy is the next big thing. At this level, I think it is higher time we start planning and working towards attracting a world standard aeroplane service hanger. Yes we can do it if we call it a need. With the collaboration of ANSG, Airpeace, UN airline,... we can target a renown company like Airbus to set up a hanger in AIPC- Chinua Achebe Airport, Umueri with a lot of aero-commercial activity like sales of aeroplane frequently replaced spare parts like wheels (I guess)

Henix:
Chukky GSS is 20+? Lol

yes
He clocked 30 this August but was in his 20s when he found GSS Group.

Henix:
Nigeria is all about corruption and the connections u have. GSS I know that is headed by one social media noisemaker young guy have no requisite experience for such project

Really? arch. Chukwudi Ezenwa (CEO GSS Group) a noise maker? You must be kidding. That company you see owned by 20+ years old Anambra born is a renowned company which has proven it's capacity with several heavy construction projects all over Nigeria and beyond. Apart from Dubai estate Awka, they are developing one of Abuja biggest property (Dubai estate Abuja), It may also interest you to know they are major contacts of Victoria crest homes, etc... Many classic hotels in Awka and Lagos were built by him

You need to work on your emotions if you think that a young man who is successful in his career sharing his works and lifestyle is making noise.

God bless Anambra
Thanks to the governor

Development in the right direction.
God bless Anambra
Thanks to Soludo

Cooked up super story. Okay let's just assume your story is real, according to u, Zike was adopted by his highly connect Onitsha father who worked for Lord Lugard.... He obviously trained and paved way for Zik as his first son. How many men can do that for a Forster son

You see your talking from both sides of your mouth.
