Enugu votes N522m for rural streetlights

The Enugu State government has approved the contract for streetlights in some satellite towns to Messrs Vec Tek Nigeria Limited, for N522.39 million.
The approval followed a memorandum presented by the Commissioner for Rural Development, Gab Onuzulike.
Beneficiaries of the first phase include Nsukka.
The government said the initiative would boost the economy, reduce rural-urban drift and check criminal activities.
Commissioner for Information Dr. Godwin Ikechukwu Udeuhele, who addressed reporters in Enugu after the State Executive Council (Exco) meeting, said the government approved the constitution and inauguration of the State Technology and Innovation Council (SSTIC), a statutory requirement by the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.
Its constitution, he noted, was “fundamentally important to the realisation of the ministry’s set objectives”.
Udeuhele said the government sought to establish the “needs-gap-requirement scenario that reflects on the essential attribute of the national science, technology and innovation policy” as explained by the Commissioner for Science and Technology, Greg Nnaji, who initiated the memorandum.
The Information commissioner said the Exco also approved N49.5 million for the procurement of dialysis machines, and N265.51 million for priority projects to complete the Medical Diagnostic Centre at the GRA in Enugu.
He said the Exco approved the payment of salaries for public servants and pensioners, following the successful completion of biometrics and the submission of the Inter-Ministerial Committee’s report.
Udeuhele added that the council approved the appointment of a firm, Niceken Logistic Limited, to collect the state’s revenue on quarrying, mining of gravels, laterite and sand.
According to him, the council directed the attorney-general and commissioner for Justice to generate a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), in line with conditions in the committee’s review report between the Ministry of Environment, Mineral Resources and the firm.

ENUGU—The Enugu State government has approved the award of contracts for 35 capital projects comprising the construction of roads, bridges, schools and boreholes across the 17 local government areas of the state.
Ugwuanyi The state Commissioner for Information, Dr Godwin Edeuhele, made this known while briefing newsmen shortly after the meeting of the State Executive Council, EXCO, in Enugu adding that the projects would gulp about N2.1 billion. According to him, the government further approved another N41 million for women empowerment projects. Udeuhele said that this showed the government’s commitment to provide infrastructural development in the state, in spite of the country’s economic recession.
He however, explained that the projects, particularly roads, would be implemented in phases depending on the government’s financial capability at each stage, pointing out that work on the selected projects would commence simultaneously in all the council areas. On women empowerment projects, the government said that 969 women and youths would be trained on various trades across the state with the aim of encouraging gender parity.
Meanwhile, the government has ordered the re-opening of Oakland Recreational Park, which was shut following the death of two children as a result malfunctioning of one of their facilities. However, there would henceforth be a monthly evaluation of recreational parks and event centres in the state in order to ascertain their levels of compliance with standard safety guidelines, the government further noted, even as the operators of such centres would be required to have insurance covers for users of their facilities.
Other items approved by the council included the formation of an Eminent Persons Forum, EPF, including retired public officials, religious and traditional rulers which would be used as a “platform for seasoned and experienced indigenes of the state to offer advice and suggestions to the police as regards solving emergent safety and security issues in the state and the country.”

Enugu Housing embarks on building housing estate


The Enugu State Government said it has embarked on massive development of satellite towns in the state, with the aim of decongesting Enugu, the capital city. Enugu has remained a capital city for the mainly Igbo-speaking South Eastern Nigeria, for about 100 years since the advent of the colonial era.
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who said the project was one of his campaign promises in 2015, said the project would create a better living and business environment for the state capital, which was the former administrative capital of old Eastern Regional government in the 1960s before the outbreak of the Civil War in 1967; and was capital of old East Central State and old Anambra State in 1967 and 1976.
The general manager of Enugu State Housing Corporation (ESHC), Chuks Agu told BusinessDay after signing a land agreement of over 50 hectares, located along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, between the state Housing Corporation and leaders of Amaukwu and Ozalla Aboh villages in Udi Local Government Area of the state, for the purpose of building housing estates.
Agu said the concept of embarking on the development of satellite towns was to decongest the Enugu township that is already filled up. “We want to have satellite towns. We want to develop the outskirts (of Enugu) to decongest the city center; and the only way out of it is to build more satellite towns around the city,” he said.
According to him, the Housing Corporation has entered into discussions with over 10 communities selected for the development of Satellite Towns around the capital city; and would sign the agreements with some of them. Some of the towns mapped out, he said, include Akegbe Ugwu, Aboh, Umuchigbo, Emene area, Ugwuaji, among others.

The Housing Corporation general manager said the housing estates would not only fasten the development of those communities, but would also create job opportunities, and enhance the economy and living standard of the people, through the establishment of small businesses in those places.
Speaking on how the civil servants and others would benefit from the housing estates, he said due to the high cost of building houses now, the corporation has entered into discussions with some mortgage institutions to see if they could assist the employees offset their bills, for them to pay over time.
“We are also making arrangement with associations and cooperatives to see if they can pull resources together and raise money to offset the bills and pay over time,” Agu said; adding that “as a Corporation, we need money to develop these houses too.”
On corporate social responsibility (CSR), the Housing Corporation GM said the housing estates would not only respect all the terms written on the agreement document, but would also do other social developments for the benefit of the people.
“I have very good relationship with all the communities we are developing estates in their areas, and I know their leaders and traditional rulers. We will also meet up with our corporate responsibilities,” he said.
The two communities were represented by their town union executives led by their two chairmen, Chijioke Mbah, the chairman of Amaukwu Development Union (ADU) and Everestus Udengwu, the chairman of Ozalla Aboh General Assembly, with some selected elders and youths of both communities, to endorse the agreement.

The two chairmen, who spoke to BusinessDay expressed happiness over the development, and promised to maintain the terms of the agreement. They however appealed to the state government to take the opportunity create a road from the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway to Aboh community for easy access to Enugu town.

CBN rolls out N1 billion loan to rice farmers in Enugu

At least 5,000 farmers in Enugu State would benefit from a N1 billion Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) loan to the state for rice farmers. This is aimed at encouraging interested rice farmers in the state to go into full scale commercial rice farming.
Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor, who disclosed this in Enugu during the 2nd launching of the Enugu CBN’s Anchor Borrowers’ program, said the program was in conjunction with the Okunerere Farms Limited (the anchor), and the Enugu State Government.

Emefiele noted that CBN strongly believes that under the present economic situation, developing agricultural sector, and acting as a financial catalyst to the economy by targeting specific sectors that can create jobs on a mass scale, reduce poverty broadly, boost inclusive economic growth and conserve scarce foreign reserves in the country, would be a way out of the economic problem.

According to the CBN governor, “Nigeria’s food import bill is both exceptionally and unsustainably high; and that relying heavily on food importation fuels domestic inflation, depletes our foreign reserves, displaces local production and creates unemployment in the country.”
Represented by Charles Enwere, the apex bank boss pointed that the anchor borrowers program was designed to create economic linkages between farmers and processors; not only to ensure increased agricultural output of rice, but also close the gap between production and consumption by ramping up capacity utilization in our integrated mills.” he said.

“In Enugu State, we are targeting 5,000 farmers. We are looking at two anchors, the first was Tarra Agro Industries and the second one was Okunerere Farm Limited. Tarra has a target of 3,000 farmers, while Okunerere has 2,000 farmers. So our combined capacity for farmers is 5,000. That is what we are looking out for in Enugu State, the CBN boss said.

He added that “what we actually did was to cost the production of rice in Enugu State per hectare, and we came up with the total sum of N193,000 per hectare. So that is the amount we are going to give to each farmer.

He however, said they were not going to give to the farmers cash. The component of it is given to them as inputs, such as seedlings, fertilizers, pesticides and other important inputs to help boost agricultural outputs and productivity. Then the labour components would be paid in their account.

Flagging off the program, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, who was represented by his deputy, Cecilia Ezeilo said, his government would do anything within its reach to support farmers in the state for real diversification of the state economy.

According to him, the program would not only stimulate rice padi production in the state, but it would enable all rice processors in the state to get sufficient feed stock for their rice processing mills.

Governor Ugwuanyi noted that the beauty of the CBN anchor borrowers’ program was based on the fact that the farmers would not need to look for market to sell their rice padi, as the ‘off-takers,’ Okunerere Mills, Tara Agro Industries Limited and others with subsisting MoU’s with the state government would purchase all rice produced by the farmers.

He commended the initiative, and stated that when fully operational in two years, it is expected to drastically reduce food importation, diversify the country’s economy and create jobs for women and youths.
However, the regional manager, Bank of Agriculture (BoA) reminded the farmers that the money given to them was not a grant, but loans; and the Bank must collect back every kobo involved.

The rejoinder is simply hilarious,none of the issues i raised in the publication was responded to by Mr ugwu,i dare him to post photos from the road he claimed to be under construction and explain why the minor communal disputes were left unattended to if his principal wasn't sitting on the fence,its also worthy to point out that the project will be financed by the Chinese company and not enugu govt which their only stake in the project is to provide the land,something similar to the eko Atlantic project.
Honestly, i am disappointed with the rejoinder, what i wanted to hear was the main reason why the project has not taken off, rather than all these flimsy excuses he gave
PoliticsRe: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by Digitron: 1:36pm On Aug 16, 2016
This rejoiner shows that Gov Ugwuanyi or his Aids are following discussion on this forum



Rejoinder: Gov. Ugwuanyi is not sitting on the fence in the biggest foreign investment south of the Sahara – Enugu community

A Community in Nike, Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nchatancha, which owns part of the land where the proposed Enugu Industrial Park was located for development by the past administration in the state, has denied the media report in an online platform,www.nairaland.com, alleging that the present administration in the state was delaying the commencement of the project.
Reacting to the said report, a member of the committee for the development of the Industrial park, which is under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement between the state government and a Chinese company, known as Goad Mark Group, Pastor Nick Ugwu described the allegation as “false,mischievous and a failed calculated attempt to discredit the tireless efforts of the present
administration to kick start the project in spite of the harsh economic situation in the country.” Pastor Ugwu said that contrary to the allegation, the state government had completed the earthwork of the access road leading to the site to enable the Chinese company move in their equipment for commencement of work, which was part of the agreement reached towards the actualization of the
project. He added that the governor personally visited the host communities, as a sign of commitment, to appeal to them for understanding and cooperation, when they revolted against the actions taken by the past administration on the agreement reached with
them.He also disclosed that present administration re- negotiated with the communities and asked them to set up committees that would be meeting with the government and the company for the smooth kick off of the project.
The community representative equally expressed worries that the rains and some unresolved community disputes had hindered the completion of the access road to the proposed industrial park. He also stated that considering the present economic crisis in the country and tireless efforts so far madeby the present administration to provide access road to the site for investment, it was unfair and mischievous to peddle such false allegation in the media that the government was delaying the project.
Pastor Ugwu described the present government in the state as an investment-friendly administration, which had developed and implemented programmes and policies that centre on direct investment and strategic partnership with foreign investors, such as the recent
“Enugu State Investment Summit”, organized to woo investors to the state. He stressed that “there is no way the government could have wished away the socio-economic importance of the project in the state”, as was “mischievously” alleged in the publication.
“From the foregoing, I wish to state without fear of equivocation that the said publication is false, misleading and should be disregarded as it was the handiwork of desperate and mischievous elements, who have personal interest in the business and want to achieve it by all means,” Ugwu alleged.
But my problem with this poor response is, if our government can take loan to carry out white elephant projects, why can the state govt seek loan to finance this important project

(E)Agricultural zone.

A large area covering over 700 hectares of land for modern and high yield crop and live stock production complete with modern abbatiors and produce market,it will also serve as a training environment for local farmers.

(F)Power infrastructures.

Providing 24 hours power for both the residents and industries from a 300 mw thermal power plant powered by coal. Mr. Feng also said that the project will entail the establishment of a specialized school for training of manpower to handle the various investments that the park will be attracting and called for continued support of the government to ensure that all of its objectives were met. He expressed delight that the project has become a reality and commended the government for its commitment towards ensuring its successful take off.



Location.

The former Governor made it clear that due to the importance the government attached to the project, it had already provided a large expanse of land for the establishment of the Industrial Park and would also ensure that all the necessary facilities were provided to ensure its successful take off,but time was not on his side then since he had a little period left to spend in office and expected that the new governor would continue from where he stopped.

The land is located in the following communities:

Emene

I saw this on a blog, do anyone in the house know why the project has never taken off.



WHY IS GOV. UGWUANYI SITTING ON THE FENCE I N THE BIGGEST FOREIGN INVESTMENT SOUTH OF THE SAHARA?

The project

After a careful survey of economic activities in Africa,a Chinese group known as GoalMark group,traced most of the Sino-Nigerian trading activities to the people of South East Nigeria and so decided to set up an industrial park in the south east region/Enugu state to be precise,the Group which has its headquarters in Beijing,China met with the then Enugu state Governor,Sullivan Chime who quickly went ahead to make the initial arrangements to help setup the mega-investment,they signed an MOU with the Enugu state government with hopes of getting the project kick started as soon as possible,the leader of the group's delegation Mr.Lin Feng made it clear then that the company decided to go ahead with the project after a careful study from which they confirmed Enugu as a conducive place for it. He disclosed that the project, which according to him, will cost billions of dollars to complete, will bring massive investments to Enugu from all over the world and ensure the tremendous improvement of the economy of the state and environs,most Chinese companies shipping goods to Africa will move down to Enugu and set up base within the industrial park from where they will distribute or export to other African countries,(it is worthy to note that this same group was instrumental to the construction of the nearly completed international terminal of the Akanu Ibiam international airport Enugu as a shipping point/hub and a kind gesture to their host state.) Mr Feng said that the park will comprise investments in such major areas as coal mining, power generation from coal and water treatment plants as well as cassava and rice processing concerns
“This project is dear to our hearts, we are full of expectations and we want to see GoalMark Group developing the place immediately. “The land in question is immediately available and we are making sure that all necessary infrastructure, including proper access road to the estate will be put in place”, he said.

Chime noted then that the Industrial Park would complement the massive infrastructural development of Enugu City that his administration had embarked upon to give the state a brand new and modern outlook.

It is worthy to note that before the former Governor Sullivan Chime left office,he took the then Governor elect Hon Ugwuanyi along on a trip to China so that he can see first hand the strength of GoalMark group,the trip was also a farmilarization tour of the groups HQ that included series of meets with its high ranking officials,so people never expected that Ugwuanyi will be the very person to delay this project,some of us are even aware that the delay in sorting out issues affecting a smooth kick off (For example) Paying Compensation,grading access roads,etc,created an opportunity for poachers from other states (Governors) and countries to make moves for this project to be relocated to their various states/countries but fortunately,GoalMark group have insisted that Enugu is the best location for them and have simply refused to change their mind, but who knows how long they will tolerate this delay by the present Governor of Enugu state? some people are even of the opinion that frankly speaking,the present Governor may not have understood the importance and reach of this project abinitio,but how else can it be explained to him? Why the delay? Nigerians should ask Governor Ugwuanyi what the issues really are,why has he chosen to sit on the fence In this project?,why is he not paying compensation where it is needed to get this project rolling? why is he not grading the access roads that the group has offered to construct once graded? why does it appear like he abandoned the little contribution the state needs to make to kick start the project? we are aware that a miniature prototype of the industrial park sits on a table right next to his office so he can't claim forgetfulness because he sees it everyday,he needs to be aware that Enugu people,South Easterners and Nigerians atlarge will hold him responsible if anything goes wrong with this project. Eko Atlantic project never stopped just because a new Governor came into power in lagos state for instance,so whats going on In this case?,he should wake up now,any well meaning igbo person should text or call him now to wake up and do the needful.

Ka anyi me ihe kwesiri ekwesi na Ala igbo!

NDDC provides 186-room hostel for UNIBEN ON JULY 4, 2012
FOR the over 800 medical students of the University of Benin who have been faced with accommodation problem, succour has come to them following the construction of 186 rooms hostel complex by the management of the Niger-Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The project which was conceived and awarded in 2004 was left fallow until the coming of the present board of the NDDC. It cost over N1.3 billion. Edo State Commissioner for NDDC, Barr. Henry Okhuarobo while inspecting the project expressed happiness that the project was almost completed, and would help to alleviate the accommodation problem of the university. According to him, “although this project is one of those yet to be completed, hopefully we are delivering this project next month, but the target date which we set for ourselves was this month, but because of the volume of work and to minimize errors, the contractor has said that July would be the best time for delivery. “You will recall that this project was awarded initially in 2004 and had lain fallow for many years until last year when the present board of NDDC started fast-tracking the project. We are happy and you can see for yourselves and come to your conclusion what you are seeing in UNIBEN Medical Students’ Hostel where we are standing now. “The capacity of this hostel is 186 rooms to accommodate over 800 students. We also have other facilities like computer room, super markets, water borehole, etc.”

ABDULKKR:
North gave Jonathan more votes than SE gave to Buhari despite they known his is a better candidate in actual truth.
Anyway, you don't expect to rift where you didn't sow. Go and ask Jonathan for appointments.
Buhari will not trust them, nobody will.
They are the first people to stage a coup in this country killing all the northerners living their son alive, do you remember?
Take heart till eternity.
and u dont think it is the large concentration of easterner's in the north that gave GEJ the votes he got there?
The last time check, the northerners where responsible for 80% of coups in this country, even your hero Buhari is also guilty of the coup you are accusing us of
