Nice idea but I am sentimental about touching any part of my Anambra, especially Anambra South with the richest Anambrarians

ABIA TO JOIN GLOBAL QUALITY SHOE MAKING LIST AS COMFORT STEVENS PREPARES TO OPEN FACTORY

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, OFR, says his administration is working very hard to clean up the business environment and make it conducive for new investments as well as bring back old ones that had left the state in the past due to unhealthy government policies.

Governor Otti said that capital, by way of investment, is devoid of emotion and sentiment and only goes to places where the environment is conducive for it to thrive and flourish.

"You may choose to relocate abroad in search of capital, but foreign capital will not come until you have created the conditions to attract it. No matter how much of preaching you do, no matter how much of platitudes, capital has its own sense, it doesn't have emotion, it's not sentimental, it just moves to where the environment has been prepared because the reward for capital is profit," Governor Otti said, while recalling an article he had written as a newspaper columnist.

The Governor spoke on Wednesday when he received a group of investors, led by Dr. John Nwankwo, Chief Executive Officer of Comfort Stevens, who are promising to rewrite the story of Abia State, indeed Nigeria, in the footwear business.

The Governor, who assured the investors that his government would support them in realising their dream of completing their factory located in Owerrinta, Isialangwa South Local Government Area of Abia, said he would always allign with projects geared towards meeting his agenda of providing job opportunities for the teeming unemployed Abia youth.

"I want to congratulate you for not giving up and I'm happy that you have gotten to this level that you are hopeful of commissioning by December.

"If there's anything that we can do to support you to make that December a reality, please don't hesitate to ask," Governor Otti assured.

The Governor, while underscoring the importance of local manufacturing, noted that no country has ever developed on the back of consumption of imported products without production.

He disclosed that his government is working very hard to support existing businesses and also attract new investors through favourable policies, adding that supporting the Geometric Power company to come on stream and the various infrastructural upgrades going on in the State, including the dualisation of the Imo River-Umuikaa-Umuene road in Isialangwa South, are all geared towards industrialisation of Abia.

The Governor expressed joy that one of the company's plans is to train and upskill existing local shoe manufacturers in Aba and promised that his Government would partner the company in that regard.

"The major problem a lot of them have is finishing. A lot of them are impatient, a lot of them don't have the right tools, a lot of them don't have the right skills; so it would be interesting to have Comfort Stevens double as not just producers but also as a training and finishing school for our young ones.

"Go to shoe plaza and see what the young men and women are doing there with bare hands, then you'll understand that if you introduce them to technology, they will give you much more," Governor Otti said.

Dr. Nwankwo, who led the team of investors from the United States, China, and Brazil recounted the ugly experience he and his team had gone through under the previous administration in trying to realise their dream of establishing a world class shoe factory in Abia.

He told the Governor that their company, Comfort Stevens, in the last one year of the new government has made tremendous progress that they decided on the visit to formally introduce to the Governor their large scale industrial footwear project, which will be commissioned by December 2024, and thereafter start production.

Nwankwo, who presented different samples of high quality shoes to the Governor, said that the fifteen thousand daily footwear production capacity factory will not only produce complete shoes but also shoe components such as gum, soles, insoles, strings, among others.

He said that the mission of the company with its partners from US, China and Brazil is to produce quality footwears that can compete favourably in the global market, adding that machines for the production of high quality footwears and its components have arrived its facility in Owerrinta for installation before the end of June.

Dr. Nwankwo congratulated Governor Otti for his impactful one year in office and the unimaginable progress that has taken place in Abia under his watch, which, according to him, is an eloquent testimony of the Governor's sincerity of purpose and passion towards the industrialisation of the state.

Governor Otti was joined by the Commissioner for Trade, Commerce and Industry, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu; Special Adviser to the Governor on Trade, Commerce and Industry, Chief Nwaka Inem; among other government functionaries in the meeting, which was facilitated by the Speaker, Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Emeruwa, also in attendance.

ABA, the natural and geographical Lagos of the East in the making.

Oh my Onitsha, where did we get it wrong? O buna nwa mgbeke amaro isi akpu Ka o bu n'aguba Adiro nko?

SoNature:
I don't understand why they ate reviewing their fees downwards. That business needs to recoup its investment ASAP so as to encourage other investors to invest in the power sector. Steady power supply is not cheap!

By the way, if Tinubu approves regional government and resource control, he has my vote in 2027.

It is a deliberate plan to make Aba the Lagos of the East

DMerciful:
Was Bode George not part of Wike's sponsored 'integrity group' that betrayed Atiku?

Was Atiku not part of Amechi's New PDP that betrayed Goodluck?

bennybuhari:
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri Has slammed Abia State governor, Alex Otti over his position on the atrocities being committed by enforcers of sit-at-home in his state.

Otti had said that his administration is not interested in going into unnecessary confrontation with the promoters of the May 30 sit- at- home in honour of those killed during the Nigeria civil war as people have a right to mourn their dead.

However, taking to his social media handles, Omokri said Otti should take a cue from how his counterpart in Oyo state, Seyi Makinde dealt with Yoruba nation agitators.

He also condemned Peter Obi and Oby Ezekwesili for describing Otti as the best Governor in Nigeria.

“Last month, Yoruba nation agitators tried nonsense in Ibadan. The Governor of Oyo did not wait for any Federal Government. He used Oyo State’s authority to arrest the perpetrators within hours of the incident”.

“The very next day, Governor Seyi Makinde destroyed their houses. On the third day, they were in court. Today, they are in prison”.

“That is a Governor! Not this one that watches and does nothing while a separatist group causes killings, mayhem and chaos in his state. And this is the man Peter Obi, and Oby Ezekwesili praised as the best Governor!”

May 30th every year as 'Biafran Remembrance Day' predates IPOB and Otti's Administration in Abia State. My grand father died defending the then-great Biafran city of ONITSHA, and you want me not to remember the circumstances of his death. Ashi!

Choose your fight carefully as every politics is local. Otti is a wise man ditto Soludo, Uzodinma, Nwifuru. The day of reckoning is coming for that grammarian in Enugu.

We are all saying Ozoemezine!

The black absorb the light thereby reducing the reflection of light on other road users while the white reflect the light thereby increasing the reflection for a low beam of light to be able to see long sight distance.

Black and White painting on Road Median is an eyesore; we have road reflectors for night driving, and I am sure it does not cost an arm to buy

If ojukwu only left with Igbo land in the east central state, there would have been no civil war, but he forcefully annexed the minorities and their land into Biafra

The Ikwerres were so angry they took over Igbo properties in PH. Till today, the Ikwerres have refused to handover the properties to the rightful owners

Revisionist at best!

The calculation was that Easterners would commence aggressive Biafra agitation after 2023 general elections.

However the region is largely silent. Even the North keeps prodding them to protest against the government's policies to no avail.

Soyinka is wasting his time as well.

There is a change in strategy in the East. The Youths, Nationalists, and Federalists are now in unison. One mind, one agenda that will unfold very soon.

will formally invite Peter Obi to the opening of my new Barber shop. He appears available to attend all events and post all kimd of gibberish comments on social media since he is a jobless political failure. Therefore, I am using this platform to invite Mr. Peter Obi to my new Barber shop opening ceremony. Side attractions include barbecue, ice cream, doughnuts, and drinks.

Drop the address here and he will be there. A simple man by nature!

Before people get excited, here are the issues:-

Atiku is barred constitutionally to be VP, so he can only be a presidential candidate or throw his weight behind OBI to become president.

If Atiku becomes the presidential candidate , how does he convince the South to vote for him?. He will also further alienate the Southern governors from PDP and render them disgruntled.

If Obi becomes the presidential candidate, how does he convince the North, who will be gearing up to take over power in 2031. How does he also convince southern politicians gearing up to become VP in 2031?.

The best time for this alliance was 2023.

This alliance is not just impossible but makes no political sense.

The more Atiku struggles to entrench his interest in PDP, the more he alienates more politicians especially from the South.

While this may sound undemocratic, I am more worried about PBAT not performing than losing 2027 elections. I have absolutely no worries about his 2nd term ambition. Again I don’t make the rules, it is our present reality.

Obi is a proponent of a 5-year single-term presidency. After Obi, we will start having CEO/Prime Ministers and not President again

OneCandleAway:
Wike is soo desperate he can accept an atiku offer for one term presidency and he takes over the next election.

Please, who will vote Wike in the South?, even in the North? He is simply an ATM, nothing more

GBTYO:
I believe it's high time for State Police and also additional laws that require any convicted criminal from out of state be barred from entering or residing outside their state of origin.

Assuming Chinedu commits a crime in Anambra and us duly convicted. Chinedu must not be allowed into any other state after duly completing his sentence.

Assuming also that Chinedu commits a crime in Lagos and is duly convicted and sentenced by a Lagos state high court ,on completion of his sentence , Chinedu must be deported back to his ancestral state of Anambra and barred from ever setting foot out of it.

This is one way to curtail recidivism in some states as it will see to deportation of criminals back to their states of origins and forbid criminals convicted in other states from migrating to other states.


What do you guys think

Even in advanced democracies of the world, it is not done that way. You for kukukma support balkanization of the country

A drop in the ocean. Abapower is charging 104 per KWH for everybody for 24/7 electricity; Maybe, because they have gas in abundance in that locality

jmoore:
I have made several complaints to Abapower customer care and they have not resolved this, that’s why I am bringing this out to the public.


Abapower placed us on the wrong band, thereby overcharging us, which is extortion. My district is Ariaria district under Ukwa 33 feeder, Enyimba transformer We are on prepaid metre. I previously complained about the 95 naira per unit they were charging us because the power supply in our area is poor, only to check a week later to see that they have increased the charge to 102 naira per kwh. R2SB-NMD is what is on our receipt, which is a wrong classification.


To paint the true picture of power supply in our area, I took down records from Sat 27th April to 3rd May 2024. Sat 8 hours supply, Sunday no power, Monday 3 hours supply, Tuesday no power, Wednesday 45 minutes supply, Thursday no power, Friday 1 hour. Out of 168 hours, they only gave us power for 12 hours 45 minutes of power supply in a week, which is not up to 10% of 168 hours. This means the average supply per day is around 1.7 hours a day.

The lowest band category by NERC is Band E, which is a minimum of 4 hours a day but we are getting an average of 1-2 hours per day and are being charged same rate as those in Band B.

I think you are an ingrate, AbaPower is charging everyone within their Business District a flat rate of 102 naira per kwh and you are complaining. Be patient with them, by July this year, Abapower will give 24/7 electricity to everyone in their business district at a flat rate of 102 naira per KWH

I am in Band A of PHED and using 8 units daily ( This will translate to roughly N60K per month). Guys, it is time to relocate to Aba for cheaper electricity

I HATE you with every vein in my body because of your selfishness and carelessness. You disgust me, how can you have a wife at home and you are sleeping with a prostitute without protection?. How can you trust a girl you did RVS on last year and you were not residing in the same house with her, not to talk off a prostitute?

I am 90% sure that aside from the possible chicken pox as diagnosed by the doctors you consulted, you have contracted HIV

The Road might be needed in the Lagos Areas, but not as from Delta-to-Cross River as we have an existing road called the East-West Road that will be not more than 10 nautical miles parallel to this so-called coastal road if completed. why waste resources?,
Tell me the big cities that this road will connect aside from Lagos?.
Why do you need to connect port-2-port using the railway, instead of separately connecting ports to the hinterlands with the railway?.
Is this part of the plan to make Lekki Port the transhipment port for all other ports in Nigeria?

Sorry am not doubting you. But in what areas did you observe the mediocre work?

Look at the poor quality and uninspiring colour of the tiles, uneven walls, the death-inviting colour of emulsion paint, and the rickety PVC ceiling. I did not want to talk about the poor exterior finishing and color riot painting. Hospitals are painted white/off-white around the world for a reason

Trust me, the president's media team will ignore him as usual. Only an idiot will say a road infrastructure that'd pass through 8 states with the inclusion of train track is not a priority. Pls, someone should inform him that "the presidential borehole" he dug in Zaira has stopped working within two weeks, that should be his priority.

If you know the geography of the southern tips of these 8 States, you will know that the road is not needed, especially from Delta to Cross River. Tell me the cities that this road will connect. It will amount to duplication of effort, except they want to connect the Road to East-West Road at Effurun Round About, near Warri

TInubu and his goons want to use our common wealth to connect coastal Ondo to Lagos in preparation for Regionalism. Simples!
