Good job

Ogene001:
Before some very skeptical people accuse me of making this story up, let me post the facebook post and the chat that ensued

Basilo, this is nonsense. Is that all the noise about investors you kept posting their stories up and down?

See below how poultry farm should look in the 21st century. (Lynden farms)

Enugu state should devote most of it's attention in attracting genuine investors to establish in the state and create jobs and economy. That's the real deal now that oil wealth is fast disappearing.

Owerri is disgusting and unplanned. Onitsha was well planned and has been kept neat. Owerri and Aba should be dragging position in disgust and unplanlessness.

matrixme:
Owerrians that are supposed to be the most enlightened sets among the Igbo's are here engaging in a show of shame to express their displeasure at the governor's attempt to modernise their city.
If not for Rochas hardwork, Owerri would have been as disgusting and unplanned as Onitsha or Aba. Rather than invoke the good spirits to keep supporting him, they want their wives to keep selling their ukwa and ugba on the roadside.
You can force a horse to the river, but definitely can't force it to drink!

Hehehehe..but they are already on site. Would you now kill yourself out of envy and frustration?

Basilo, it is only all talks and more talks. Everyday investors are coming but still yet we have not seen anybody that finally comes back to drop a pin. All that is happening here is blowing hot and cold. Nothing, except long stories and governor posing for pictures every now and then.

Enugu, FG partner South African firm to revive coal industry
By Samson Ezea | 03 June 2017 | 4:41 am
South African investors, Simang Group, working with the Federal and Enugu State Government, have begun moves to revive the coal industry in Enugu.

The investors, led by Dr. Basil Enwegbara of the Pan Africa Group and Stephen Paddy, Chairman of Simang Group, during a visit to Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi at the Government House, yesterday, hinted that the principal objective of the investment drive was to use coal to generate electricity and then spin a chain of allied business activities for the benefit of the people of the Southeast and Nigeria as a whole.

Ugwuanyi told the investors: ìWe have always been hopeful that coal will once again play a major role in the economic development of the country.


Our opportunity to actualise the dream has come. This meeting offers Enugu State Government the opportunity to establish a relationship with the Simang Group.î

Speaking on behalf of the investors, Enwegbara, who is the Executive Vice Chairman of Pan African Development Corporation, assured that their intervention would certainly change the narrative of electric power generation in Nigeria, especially in the Southeast.

Paddy, on his part, told the governor: ìFrom the South African perspective, I am interested to make sure that I facilitate trade and investment, when there is need for Nigerians to use their natural resources to curtail the challenges that the country is facing to make sure that the economic development within the country is achieved.î

Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said he was just a messenger there to deliver a message from President Muhammadu Buhari, who directed him to tell Ndigbo that he has commenced the first phase of the promise to revamp Enugu coal to generate electricity and employment.

He said after a careful evaluation of all the companies that indicated interest by the minister of Mines and Steel Development, Simang group was chosen to partner with Federal and Enugu State Governments to revamp Enugu coal.

A Mortazavi, during a courtesy visit to the Government House, Enugu, yesterday. Ambassador Zarchi, who spoke at the Government House, Enugu, when he paid a courtesy call on the governor, in company with the management of FIT Consult Limited, stated that his delegation were in Enugu on a feasibility study of establishing an Iranian hospital, modelled after the one in Dubai, at the ongoing Heliu Residences project in Enugu as well as general bilateral cooperation with the state government. The Iranian Ambassador said his country’s decision to seek bilateral cooperation with Enugu State Government was because of the state’s historical background, its natural resources, the geographical location, which he said links other neighbouring states, the international airport as well as the existing peace in the state. He added that there are many Iranian companies into drugs manufacturing, especially herbal medicines, which are very useful in treating diabetes and other diseases, revealing that they are willing to bring the drugs to Nigeria or even import the raw materials into the country for final production. While expressing delight at the interest shown by Iran in establishing a world class medical facility in the Heliu Estate under the International brand name, Iranian Hospital, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi disclosed that “there are many other areas of potential partnership and cooperation between your country and Enugu State, cutting across various sectors of the economy. “As Your Excellency may know, the state is richly endowed with copious investment opportunities, especially in agriculture and agro-allied enterprises and in the extraction and processing of such minerals as coal, limestone, clay, oil, gas etc all of which are found in very abundant quantities in the state. “The presence of an international (passenger and cargo) airport and the establishment of a Free Trade Zone in Enugu as well as the urbanisation initiatives of the government, provide a further boost to the economic potentials and profile of the state. “We, therefore, seek the assistance of your embassy to enlighten business organisations in Iran as to these opportunities and to also facilitate their entry into Enugu State as investors.”
