I love those bricks - they are very unique.

Orlu international market was also built with bricks.

First phase of Ekeukwu international market Owerri now operational

Anselem86:
is there any plan of completing the underground car park and the so called towers in new owerri?

According to the budget yes, but the funds budgeted for the towers were grossly pessimal unless it will be a PPP.

Toju200:

The source of Orashi River is the rocks of Ezeama community of Dikenafai (183m above sea level) in Ideato South LGA in Imo State.
From Dikenafai, Orashi river flows through communities like Urualla, Ozubulu, Oguta, Opuoma, Mmahu, Abacheke, Omoku and Epie before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.
When president Buhari and gov Hope Uzodinma talk about dredging Orashi river, they talk sense.

Orlu to Awka road leads from Owerri through Orlu (not completed) to Awka; while Orlu to Akokwa road heads to a different direction - ends at Akokwa on the other federal road from Obosi to Nnewi to Akokwa to Arondizuogu to Amuro-Okigwe expressway.

Thank you

The road from Okigwe to Onuimo to Owerri but with branchings at Anara, or Amaraku, then goes to Nwangele, to Nkwerre, and to Orlu.

The road passing through Hezekiah University in Dikenafai, Ideato South LGA, to Nkwerre is not a federal road. It was built by Sam Mbakwe govt first, reconstructed by Udenwa government, but has been terribly bad for some years now. Branch off at Okwelle on Okigwe-Owerri road, then head to Dikenafai, about 8km.

Orlu to Awka road is same as the present Owerri to Orlu road. During the 1980s, the road was completed from Owerri through Orlu to Awka, but a bridge was not built on Urashi River in Ideato. Thereafter, a portion of the road from Orlu to Anambra state remains unused till today, probably forgotten by government.
1st road from Orlu to Mgbidi is a federal road, it is a different road from Awomamma to Okwudor state road which joins Orlu-Owerri road at Okwudor.

The 2nd road from Mgbidi to Orlu is the state road from Mgbidi throuugh Omuma to Okporo, and joins the federal road from Orlu to Mgbidi. The road was first built by Udenwa government.

So you're saying the Orlu Awka road have the same route with Orlu Akokwa road which terminates at ideato but will make a detour towards Urashi river? Didn't even know Urashi river reached ideato thought it's within Njaba, oguta Orlu Orsu axis only. Man needs to learn and read more ooo

I want to know the exact location so that I can check it out next weekend

[b]Orlu-Okigwe Road?
Are you not from Imo state?
There is no direct road linking Orlu and Okigwe.
The FEDERAL ROADS to Orlu are: (1) Orlu-Anara/Amaraku road;
2) Orlu-Akokwa road leading to Anambra state and to Arondizuogu to Okigwe.
3) Orlu-Ihialla road,
4) Orlu-Mgbidi road.
5) Orlu-Owerri road.
The last, Orlu-Awka road is uncompleted between Ekwulobia-Orlu.
The colonial masters developed the five roads to Orlu due to the administrative/economic importance of Orlu.
It was not like these days when economic and administrative matters in Imo state are reduced to become affairs of only Owerri capital territory.
There were slight differences in urban development between Owerri and Orlu in 1976 when Imo state was created. By not asking questions, we help bad governors arrest development in our other cities laid out by colonial masters outside Owerri in present Imo state.

Am talking about the road that leads from okigwe express via Onuimo, Nkwerre to Orlu even the first private university in imo state Hezekiah University is located along this route.

Orlu to Awka haven't heard of that route before.
Okwudor to Awomama road and Omuma to Okporo Orlu I know

Orlu to Mgbidi,? Is it the same route that connects Orlu town to Awomama

I know Orlu Akokwa road can be connected to Okigwe via Aro I think Rochas okorocha made attempt to initiate it .

Anselem86:
the diaspora smart city is there any update abi na propaganda as usual from hope, our garment factory is dead already

Garment factory is an FG project championed by Vice President Osibanjo across the nation.

Smart City is a planned investment nothing concrete yet, it's even stated in the press statement. So I don't understand your perception about it.

even if I don't like the way he came to power, I love what hope is doing, he is far better than ihedioha that was demolishing things , and okorocha that built fake things

A lot of people thought he will go on a demolition spree at Mbaise Umuahia road though he demolished one of Rochas okorocha uncompleted Hospital at Douglas market to give room for the new ekeukwu international market

SMICA road dualization projects progress as at 19 Jan 23

Amuro okigwe section of Owerri okigwe road

MomentMan:
Have they started working on Orlu-Akokwa road because on the 13th of January that I travelled through that route,no work is going on there

They have started moving equipment there, delay was due to redesign of the road.

Okwe section of Owerri okigwe road

Despacito1:
Those tiny tiny dual roads Mtchee!!!! You're not building for tomorrow, later another government will put billions to expand it..

Okigwe road is not dual carriage, except on the urban areas of Owerri and okigwe. Orlu road is a complete 6lane if probably marked so it's not tiny.

As dualization of omuma akatta okporo Orlu road, Orlu Akokwa dualization, Owerri Umuahia dualization projects is ongoing another important economic road should be Okigwe to Orlu dualization, and Orlu ihiala road I pray IMSG remember this roads

The reconstruction of Owerri okigwe road has now reached Okigwe town despite the distraction earlier on the construction company, hopefully the road will be totally completed in February 23. Currently a ride from okigwe to Owerri is exactly 50mins now

SmartPolician:
Una never wan get sense!

Keep blaming others for your self-inflicted calamity

Leave the baby terrorist

Ask them when last they went home?

Terrorist wannabe

Whatever they are supporting will visit their household in a triple fold.

oilykid:
That's true tho, I believe that the likes of ekpa are being sponsored by the opposition in this case

Nobody is sponsoring him likewise the demented supporters of Sit at Home debacle that it's crippling economic activities down here.

When hatred and sense of power is inherit in a demented soul there's no limit to absurdities he can do.

oilykid:
I hope and pray so that election can be able to hold in SE

Election will be held, that one is sacrosanct, rather there might be vote apathy I pity Peter Obi in this case. We witnessed worse during Anambra state gubernatorial elections still it was held in full force.

Kingsbuchi:
Soludo is weak, majority of IPOB terrorist in Orlu zone are coming from Anambra

Ihiala and Aguata is their operational base, every imolites that visited home, can attest to the serious security presence all round the clock, Orsu has been largely peaceful for months now

ProudImolite:
my only issue is the rehabilitation of flyover. 4.2 billion to rehabilitate Flyover is very criminal? How much to build a brand new state of the art one ?

I believe the funds will also cover the rehabilitation of 10 lane spibat road which is the adjoining road to the the flyovers

ProudImolite:
Will it be big?

I really don't know

oilykid:
I'm still wondering why we still have some igbos still supporting this IPOB miscreants in the name of freedom fighting. I never thought that we igbos we can be gullible like this until MNK happened. My God save us in the SE. Heard that their camp was burst in imo yesterday

Ask their members on this forum bunch of terrorist.

The state government is doing great in conjunction with the security operatives, Mgbidi is safe now ironically the investors has already left, hopefully security continues to improve going forward.

oilykid:
Are they done with the expansion?

Nope

oilykid:
Is this a new project please?

Nope very old established in the 90s
