What is wrong with our leaders..
The project is okay but why rename the square.
What the fucck is "unity square"? .... Unity of who, Nigeria?
Always stressing on a non existent unity.
Tell that fat man that what we know is michael okpara square.
Did they ask people whether they want a name change?
Will renaming the square make it better?
No be only unity square, na Buhari square.

We like reading meaning into things; What if the Unity means Unity of Ndi Igbo or Unity of Enugu? What if...........

Although i am all for development and creating great tourist attractions such as development of a world-class park at the Okpara Square.

However, I am hoping that our history isn't being erased by renaming Okpara square to be called "Unity" square. it is obvious that many now see Chief M.I. Okpara as an Abian instead of an indomitable Igboman that invested all his time and energy in developing a capital city for igboland.

Tomorrow, they will change the name "Akanu Ibiam" International airport to "United Nigeria" International airport. Erasing Igbo history from Enugu simply diminishes the status of Enugu as Igbo capital. Indeed, this makes Enugu no less important than Ohafia. It's like the first son of a family deciding to do away with the family surname.

Again, I am truly hoping that this name change is just another fake news because the implication will be long and tragic for all of us.

The park is to be known as Michael Okpara Unity Park. Besides, there is still Michael Okpara square so I don't see how this is an attempt to erase Okpara's name from Enugu.

Ongoing massive construction of the 1[b]0.5-kilometre Nike Lake Junction-Harmony Estate - Amorji Nike - Adoration Pilgrimage Centre road[/b], has succeeded in linking the ever-busy and thickly populated Abakpa Nike with Emene satellite town, in Enugu East Local Government Area.
The all-important bypass with lined drains and five river crossings, including culverts and bridges, across the ‘Ogbarishi’ thick forest of Umuchigbo community, presents an amazing experience of the indelible imprint of Gov. Ugwuanyi's rural-urban development agenda in Enugu State.
The road project nearing completion will not only link Abakpa Nike with Emene but also bring rapid development to the area and ease the flow of traffic at the popular Abakpa Nike/Nike Lake Road T-junction, which has been proposed for construction of the first-ever Enugu Flyover/Underpass by Gov. Ugwuanyi's administration.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s sustained commitment to rural development rekindles the confidence of the people of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area in participatory democracy as the asphalting of [b]26.665km Ukpabi-Nimbo-Ugbene Ajima-Eziani road [/b]in the long-neglected council area reaches an advanced stage.
The Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP-2) massive road project being executed in conjunction with Enugu State Government, which passes through four large communities in Uzo-Uwani LGA, is in keeping with the state government’s vision to give the rural dwellers a sense of belonging, speed up rural-urban development, create fresh socio-economic opportunities and reduce pressure on Enugu metropolis.

Still on the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi administration’s rural development policy aimed at giving the majority of the people of Enugu State, the long neglected and lowly, residing in the rural areas, a great sense of belonging…
The asphalting of another 22.443km inter-community link road, the Neke-Mbu-Ogbodu Aba-Obollo Etiti road, connecting Isi-Uzo LGA with Udenu LGA, has also reached an advanced stage with great excitement and appreciation by the dwellers.

Please who has taken IBM Qradar Certification here?

Please House, I need tips on how to pass the exam in one attempt and also where I can get free practice questions for the exam.

Afam4eva:
Whilewe supporting the building of a world class mega city, it should be done with due diligence. We should not just take people's lands just because what we're going to do is is deemed commendable.

While I don't support forceful takeover of people's ancentral land, we should bear in mind that no development can take place without sacrifices. All the developed part of Enugu include the cherished independent layout are all people's land, imagine if they had all resisted government and private developers from developing them.

Tomorrow, we start blaming FG for abandoning South east meanwhile, we were the people chasing investors away.

Afam4eva:
What does this mean in essence? I'm from Amechi Awkunanaw where the centenary city is located and i know my people have been fighting for the land to be restored to the original owners.

This is reason why investors rarely invest in South East. Now, after many years of putting in money to deliver a world class city, the government wakes up one day and destroys a 500 million dollars investment.

I heard Enugu state government has revoked the C of O for Enugu Centenary city. If this true, then Ugwuanyi and his entire cabinet members are mad.

Yes, it wasn't my fault.

I keep going to the NYSC state office, after about 3 weeks, one guy there told me my file can't be found and that I need to redo the registration all over again. I did it that day and within 2 days, I was posted.

I took me about a month to be posted

Ugwuanyi presents Enugu’s N169.56 billion 2020 budget proposal


Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Tuesday, presented a budget proposal of N169.6 billion (N169,557,658,300) for the 2020 fiscal year to the State House of Assembly for consideration and passage.

Presenting the budget proposal tagged: “Budget of Responsive and Accountable Governance”, Mr Ugwuanyi disclosed that his administration through the budget intends to strategically consolidate and expand on the solid foundation already laid in creating an environment that encourages full development of human and natural resources.

The governor stated that the essence is to rekindle social services as well as build vital infrastructure in all sectors of the economy across the state, revealing that the implementation of the recommendations of the 12 sectoral ad-hoc committees, constituted at the inception of his second term administration, on review of different sectors of governance for advancement of good governance and optimized service delivery, were aptly captured in the 2020 budget proposal.

He disclosed that the revenue and expenditure performance in the 2019 budget was a huge success as his administration recorded unique achievements in infrastructure, education, health, electrification, security, urban beautification, transport, water, women and youth empowerment, commerce and industry, housing among others.

Governor Ugwuanyi pointed out that National Inflation Rate of 10.8%, National Real GDP Growth of 2.93%, Oil Production Benchmark of 2.18 million barrels per day, Oil Price Benchmark of $55 per barrel and an Exchange Rate of N305 per US Dollar, were the macro and micro-economic indicators that informed his administration’s projections for the 2020 budget proposal.

He stated that the state has in the past four years maintained steady economic growth, which was largely because of political stability in the state, stronger and more efficient institutions of governance, improved security of lives and property, provision of critical infrastructure, consistent economic policy and commitment to fiscal discipline.

The governor further disclosed that these remarkable achievements have created opportunities for private sector participation in the economic development process of the state.

Governor Ugwuanyi noted that the outcome of the reform initiatives coupled with robust fiscal administration and the reorganisation of Enugu State Internal Revenue Service have ensured substantial increase in the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), which he said has maintained an annual average growth rate of 11 per cent since 2015 and current figure of N27 billion – the highest in the history of the state.

He explained that the proposed N169.56 billion budget size was 55.27 per cent higher than the 2019 budget of N109.199 billion because of “our continuing commitment to meeting the development expectations of our people through the provision of critical infrastructure in virtually all the sectors, including but not limited to roads, housing, education, health, agriculture, rural electrification, water, transport, women and youth empowerment”.

The governor further revealed that out of the N169.56 billion budget proposal, recurrent expenditure is N68.79 billion, representing 40.57 per cent of the total budget, noting that “this is slightly higher than the 2019 figure of N65.71 billion by 4.69 per cent”.

He said the capital expenditure stood at N100.77 billion, representing 59.43 per cent of the budget, which is above the 2019 figure of N43.93 billion by 129.4 cent.

Highlighting the key deliverables of the 2020 capital budget, Mr Ugwuanyi, stated that the state government, among numerous others, plans to construct the first Enugu Underpass/Flyover at Nike Lake Resort/ Nike Road T-junction, Enugu, construct and reconstruct more urban and rural roads, upgrade and remodel the Hotel Presidential, Enugu as well as enhance facilities at Nike Lake Resort and complete the construction, landscaping and furnishing of the International Conference Center (ICC), Enugu.

Others include the reconstruction of Michael Okpara Square, Enugu with provision of additional pavilions, construction of Adada Campus of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Nsukka, operationalization of the Enugu Medical Diagnostic Centre and full implementation of the Universal Health Coverage in the state, establishment of Small and Medium Scale Industries in the 17 LGAs and the upgrading and revitalization of Primary Health Care facilities across the 17 Local Government Areas to ensure quick and easy access to healthcare delivery in the remote villages, etc.



“We have done a lot to make Enugu a destination of choice for credible investors. Under my watch, Enugu State has transited from its 2014 World Bank Ease of Doing Business ranking as 27th out of 37 States (including FCT, Abuja), to an enviable ranking as the 2nd State in Ease of Starting Business and 3rd State in Ease of Doing Business in Nigeria in the 2018 World Bank Ease of Doing Business sub-national ranking. For this feat, Enugu State was honoured on 3rd April, 2019 by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council at Abuja. We are committed to sustaining this position and possibly improving on it in the coming years”, the governor said.

The new building is meant to house different state government agencies with sub offices scattered in Nsukka town.

The thinking is that instead of those agencies renting offices or sharing offices in LGA, it is better to bring all of them together in one building.


But finally.... Gburugburu has not done much both in Enugu city centre and other places in the state

I am not a fan of gburugburu but I have to commend him on this.

Ugwuanyi is the most dubious governor Enugu has ever had. He awarded the Road to a company that has no capacity to handle the road. The lack equipments and most of their engineers are quacks.

History will not be fair to him
