Guys, investing 500M in tbills at 10% and using the same amount to build a hotel in lekki which one do you think will yield a higher roi annually?

Don't waste your money. Apart from Eko Hotels and Oriental Hotels, most "Big" Hotels on that Axis are in debt.

it is better you invest the money in building residential houses and then sell them off after completion.

wow

Very impressive.

My advice is that you start some small business on the side that brings younanlittke cash daily/weekly. There are small businesses you can invest in with a maximum capital outlay not exceeding 50k that will earn you at least 5k per week. You could us this to;

1. Earn extra income tgus augmenting your monthly salary.

2. Learn thr ropes of trading in terms of both pros and cons.

3. Seek guidance as regards the best business avenue you should venture into ultimately.

4. Create time to use extant resources to grow your confidence and knowledge base.

5. Form alliances and grow a robust customer base for your products.


On the whole I like your commitment to improving your self without seeking a get rich quick model.

Many opportunities abound for young people now in Nigeria especially for the very discerning ones who do not look down on any earning model.

Wishing you luck.

Please can you name a side hustle I could start with 50k, that can yield 5k monthly

I am finishing NYSC next month and I have saved 200k from the scheme.
please what is the best way to invest it in other maximum return on investment.
Thanks

Trash as usual. Why is this man making so much noise about a conference Centre that was 70percent completed by Chimaroke before his tenure expired.

If you have been to Ebonyi State lately you will marvel at the level of aggressive infrastructural development that has gone far in keeping Enugu State in shadows while porridge leaking psycophants in Enugu will be celebrating mediocrity: posting photos of 4lenghts of 6inch steel pipe excavated for repairs.

All the roads in Uwani, Kenyetta Road, the whole of Idaw River Layout (umuchu, Mount, Ikiriki, Omachiana, Ozalla) is amongst the worst, look at the whole Achara Layout: Awkunanaw Street, Etudo, Obianodo, Igbariam, Unubi, Ubaka to mention but a few. I don't want to talk about the roads in Abakpa or the ones in Emene but remember to wear diving gears if you want to follow Annunciation HOSPITAL road or Sooil Plaza Road. The roads are terribly in deplorable conditions so are all adjoining roads in their respective axis.

All the link roads from Enugu-PH express are terrible: the road linking the express to and from Amaechi flyover, the road linking Enugu - PH express to and from Ugwuaji fly over, Ugwuaji road is death trap, Oji River link road to Enugu - Onitsha Express to mention but a few.
Almost all the primary and secondary schools in the state are in deplorable condition.

The State Library before Ogbete is a house of rodents and hudlums.. His predecessors left high standards that he has never come close to making a match.

Sullivan did marvelously well, look at Akwatta in Ogbete, a right thinking Governor should have made it a priority to complement Sullivan's achievements on the road by doing something to the two roads leading to and from the market knowing fully well that the place contributes considerable quota in IGR of the state. Same goes to the industrial layout at Red Cross Road at Holy Ghost and the defunct Industrial Estate at Zik Avenue after First Bank before MTN office.

Rural Communities like Ogulogu in Ezeagu, Iwollo etc will believe that Christ's second coming will happen more quickly than their roads receiving government attention.

He knows he has done nothing commensurate with the funds the state is receiving from federal government that's why he spends a lot on image laundering.

Attn: louisamoke babygiwa OEPHIUS chinwe 1960 technuel netoc65 StateNews Gboy101 and many others.

We know lots of you are doing your jobs as paid propagandists and image launderers. The hustle is real and unemployment rate is high but be mindful of the fact that everyone is well aware of his non performance.

We are aware that you people pay your way to Frontpage in Nairaland. Some even make the mods to hide or ban opposing views all in the name of hustle.
No be una fault sha but u people should know that Enugu State has never had it this bad.

God is watching

I want to ask you these questions:

1. Should the govt abandon the rural areas and concentrate all its resources on the capital city alone?

2. I agreed that the ICC may have reached 70 percent completion as at 2007 but dont you think that abandoning the project for 8 good years would have caused some damages to the structures?

i agree that Ugwuanyi may not have performed creditably well but we need to be objective in our criticism

…Okays extension works on road, court building projects

The administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, in furtherance of its concerted efforts to ensure the completion of the hitherto abandoned Enugu International Conference Centre, has approved the procurement and installation of external glass at the main auditorium of the edifice.

The culture and tourism commissioner, who revealed that there is no qualification criteria required from any interested candidate to apply for the training, explained that the state government’s initiative is also targeted at giving the participants the opportunity to learn how to write proposals after training, to access part of the N500 million loan earmarked by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the creative industry.

According to the state government, “the Traditional Rulers of Okpatu communities and Town Union Leadership are hereby called upon to ensure full compliance with the above directives”.

Enugu State is truly in the hands of God. #amokelouis

Enugu Govt. approves multi-campus structure for ESUT

The Enugu State Government (ENSG) has approved a multi-campus structure for Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT).

A statement on Friday in Enugu by the Commissioner for Information, Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe, said the approval was in line with the visions of the founders of the institution.

Anikwe said that the institution which was hitherto situated in the state capital was originally meant to have specialist learning centres in each of the three senatorial zones.

The commissioner said Faculties of Science, Engineering and Technology at Agbani were in Enugu East Zone, while Education and Medical Sciences, Social Sciences and Agriculture would be relocated to Enugu West and Enugu North Zones.

“The Enugu State Executive Council has voted to return ESUT to its original multi-campus structure as established by the Chief Jim Nwobodo administration in 1980.

“Accordingly, three schools originally proposed for Enugu North Senatorial Zone – faculties of Medical Sciences, Agriculture, and Social Sciences – will be returned to the zone.

“The Faculty of Education will relocate to Enugu West and to be domiciled at the proposed University of Education, Ihe in Awgu Local Government Area,” he said.

He said that the Faculty of Medical Sciences would take advantage of the 400-bed specialist hospital currently under constructed at Igboano in Enugu North Zone.

He aid that the hospital when completed would serve as teaching facility for medical students.Council noted that relocating the school of medical sciences will decongest and take the pressure off the Enugu Park Lane Hospital which has been struggling for expansion since its conversion to a teaching hospital.

“N1.5billion was approved in the 2019 State Budget for construction of key facilities at Igboano Specialist Hospital/ESUT Teaching Hospital, including construction of access road and others.

“The government, however, voted to increase the budget to N2billion, following the decision on multi-campus structure for ESUT and additional facilities.

“These specialist centres will not only bring tertiary education closer to the grassroots but will facilitate rapid socio-economic development of all zones in Enugu State,” Anikwe said.

FG Moves to Downgrade Enugu Airport over Safety Concerns

Enugu State Government takes steps to rectify anomalies



The federal government has announced that it would downgrade the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, for not meeting required safety standards for international operations.



By this development, Ethiopia Airlines will stop operations to the airport.

Minister of State, Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika disclosed this yesterday during the sixth stakeholders meeting in Lagos.

The minister said aside that the infrastructure at the airport did not meet given safety standards, from the dilapidated runway to absence of approach light and lack of enough water for fire cover, the location of an abattoir close to the airport, attracts birds to the airport.

He recalled that Air Peace flight, last week suffered bird strike but luckily the incident was effectively managed.

Sirika also pointed out that there were things the Governor of the State was expected to do so that the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria. (FAAN) would provide critical infrastructure like the approach light which would enable flights to land in the night.

According to the minister, the governor has agreed to clear buildings at the flight path, relocate the market at Emene for broader approach, remove the masts that obstruct flight path and also allow FAAN to have access to the Ekulu River to use pipes to bring water to the airport.

At present, flights cannot operate at night because the airport does not have approach light, which ought to be installed at the two ends of the runway.

The airport also does not have enough water supply, which means that it may not service large body aircraft because it does not have adequate fire cover, as certain volumes of water are needed for the fire hydrants in case of emergency.

THISDAY gathered that at several meetings with the Enugu state government, FAAN had urged the state to clear the flight paths along the runway by relocating the residents along the flight area so that critical facilities can be installed to enable flights land at the airport at night and also remove hindrances on take-off and landing of flights.

Also, Sirika had met with the state government and stressed the need for the government to relocate the market at Emene Enugu, settle the residents that built structures on the flight path so that approach light could be installed at both ends of the runway.

Sirika also urged the governor to give approval to FAAN and also to provide the facilities that could support FAAN to pipe water from Ekulu River for the airport so that it would have adequate water cover. The state government was also asked to remove two masts on approach area to the airport to enable flights easily take off and land at the airport.

The Governor of the State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi during the courtesy visit by the Minister last year, had assured the minister that urgent action would be taken, but nothing was done till now.

Enugu State Govt Takes Steps to Rectify Anomalies

Following the safety concerns raised by Sirika and the FAAN, the Enugu State Government issued a press statement last night, detailing steps it had taken to address all the issues raised.

The statement read: “The Enugu State Executive Council has approved the immediate closure of Orie Emene Market (abattoir inclusive) to forestall tragic air accident at the Airport. Accordingly, the Chairman of Enugu East Local Government Area has been directed to effect the immediate closure of the market.

“Council also ordered immediate removal of all illegal structures encroaching on the land of the Airport. The State Executive Council had on 12th October, 2018 approved funds for relocation of the State Broadcast Mast on the approach of the Run Way to Okpatu Hill (Ugwu Rerenkwu) in Udi Local Government Area but the implementation of this project has been hampered by the disruptive activities of some youths in the community. Enugu State Government hereby directs immediate cessation of all hostilities against the project as any further interference will attract the full wrath of the law given that government has paid all the necessary compensation.

“The traditional rulers of Okaptu Communities and town union leadership are hereby called upon to ensure full compliance with the above directives.”

MXrep:
Roofing of conference centre completed

We are getting there, slow but steady

mylove4God:
Honestly.. UNN was the bomb then. He really tried. Sometimes it is not all about being a good person but how you have affected life and the society.
Nebo was good but Bartho touched the UNN positively more.

Bertho convinced me that it is better for a Leader to be feared than to be understood.

His impact and projects are everywhere in the den. From Changing all the seats in all the classroom, renovation of jimbazz, Abuja Building, Calver Building, Education Building etc.

He started Pharmacy and reached roofing level, He started the now abandoned PG Building, Reconstruction of most roads and beautification of building.

Results were released two weeks after exams, admission was 75% merit. He gave automatic employment to First class.

Now

Ozumba came and reversed all his gain,

mylove4God:
whether fake news or not, I hope the new VC restore the damage Prof. Ozumba did to UNN. They need another VC like Bartho. Despite all the negative talks about Bartho he still did so much in UNN

Bertho is the best thing that has happened to UNN in recent times

Osagyefo98:
I know what am saying, because we knew what happened.

Am not against enugu man becoming VC, is their right. Annd for their people....but merit should always be used to get the best brain.....that can handle the affairs of the school devoid of tribalism and the rest.

Is obvious the governor influenced the process just to pave way for his kinsman or should I say enugu person to emerge.

Tomorrow, they will turn around and blame buhari for appointing his people....

Hypocrites.

Go and read the guys profile. He is the current Provost of Airforce Institute in Kadunna, He was a professor for 17 at South Bank University London.

He narrowly lost to Prof Ozumba last 5 years.

Osagyefo98:
This man is not qualified in anyway to lead UNN.


Tribalism at its peak...

Ugwuanyi promoting tribalism and selfish interest.

What do you mean he is not qualified, have you gone through his resume?

IMASTEX:
I met professor Ozumba, he is a very intelligent & tall gentle man. I appreciate his philosophy of life.
Well, Congrats to the incoming, hope you will outdo your predecessor.

Ozumba is a disaster. He practically killed UNN

This is false, there was only a shortlist of 7 people of which Prof Ezugwu was among

MXr8p:
That is the only thing your brother mxrep thrives on, so we are giving it to him. He is the only reason this has been happening in the recent time and we have sworn to face him with it.

Two wrongs don't wrongs dont make a right

All this rivalry will lead us nowhere

Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the council’s meeting, the Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uche Eze, added that the council approved the purchase of two Hilux vans for effective monitoring and supervision of the projects, and disclosed that the construction of classrooms and procurement of facilities will cost the sum of N4billion.

Prof. Eze, who explained that the projects will be executed under the Enugu State Basic Education Board (ENSUBEB), revealed that “the state government has already contributed its counterpart fund which led to the drawdown of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) fund”.

He disclosed that the construction of the administrative block at Ihe, will cost the sum of N162,913,167.90, adding that when completed, activities and the processes of obtaining relevant approvals from the National University Commission (NUC) will commence.

He pointed out that “His Excellency has shown full commitment to the take off of the University”, stressing: “That structure is a very first significant step and before long, the University will take off fully”.

On road projects, the Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Greg Nnaji, stated that in line with the governor’s promise in the 2019 budget for “better urban, inter-local government and community road infrastructure”, the council equally approved the construction/reconstruction of Carter street, Asata, Enugu; Aludele road, Nsukka; Bishop Court road, Awgu; Access road to Igbo Ano Specialist Hospital, Igbo Ano, and failed culvert, pavement and surfacing at Onuiyi road, Nsukka adjacent to Zik’s residence, totaling N544.795, 992.68.

Ltd; and engagement of a Technical Assistant (TA) on Infrastructure and contract management for Enugu RAMP-2”.


Another highlight of the briefing was the approval for the recruitment of 52 personnel, namely 4 Fire Officers, 24 Fire Lead Men and 24 Fire Men, for the State Fire Service to man the five newly built stations across the three senatorial districts of the state, for efficient and effective discharge of duties.

update from HEliu residence, Independence layout

MXrep:
The General Hospital opposite Queens School should be upgraded to Parklane standard. Anything short of that is unacceptable

There has been some cosmetic renovation there within the last few years. Gburugburu seem to be more concerned with the Specialist hospital at Orba, I hope he finishes it before his tenure expires

signz:
Good news.

However, I thought that Bishp Shanaham hospital is a state owned hospital and it would've been cheaper if the hospital is upgraded. Except if there's no space for expansion.

Please we need more pictures of infrastructural development in the state or is Gburugburu on break

Bishop Shanahan Hospital is owned by the Catholic diocese of Nsukka. There is no government owned secondary or tertiary health care facility anywhere in Nsukka zone.

As for Gburugburu, there hasn't been much proberbly due to the election, we expect him more from him now that the elections are over

Ttipsy:
why??

According to one of the PAs to the governor, the decision was deliberate because it was a hospital.

It doesn't make sense to me but the major thing is that the people of Nsukka zone do not have to come to Enugu before they can access quality healthcare facilities.

B2mario:
Kai, poor building

I think they are trying to avoid high rise buildings blocks

Update on the Enugu Specialist hospital Orba

The first phase of the 200 bedded Specialist Hospital located in a wide Acre of land owned by ovoko, Iheaka, Imilike and Orba is 90% complete. The asphalt pathways in the facility has been awarded and contractor set to mobilize to site.
The specialist hospital facility is a four phased construction.
The second phase which will include Doctors Quarters, medical Student Hostels etc is set to commence once the remnant 10% of the first phase is completed.


Apologies for the low picture qualities

It is so sad but I believe he will do the needful in the second term.

Na Wa oooo.

Something is wrong somewhere
