What you guys miss is that all our resources are channelled to these so called Governors and President.

If they don't invest that money into economic growth and job Creation, how will it come?

Then you wonder why poverty is growing at an exponential rate.

Let them keep putting money into flyovers and say urban renewal, infrastructural development.

Meanwhile nothing is done to support innovation and growth.
say the government invests in massive road construction, the construction companies employ at least 1000 labourers, the labourers then put their children through school which employ ten teachers and the teachers feed their families through their salary. That's how government creates employment through infrastructure.

While at it, the direct government contractors might see an innovative idea and invest in it through the profits they made which grows into factories or something else and then employ more people.

Look at China which has become the symbol of poverty alleviation and eradication, what the government did was invest massively into infrastructure development. They started by using external companies and then their people working under those foreigners started working on their own and today, they are main drivers of the economy.

Where did I say they must be under the Government? I said job Creation must be a priority. The massive investment must be for the growth of jobs.

For instant, cutting taxes, providing subsidies. Providing grants, etc. Invest in job Creation. Support businesses. Providing training schemes etc.

Partnering with companies for their growth.

Job Creation should be a priority.

you guys are the reason we write IELTS exam.

Biden said they created those jobs doesn't mean those guys are under the employ of the government. That's the total job added into the labour market which the private sector is taking up the greatest pool.

What Biden is celebrating however is that they made the economic policies that drove the job creation.

The only way government can employ people is massive infrastructure development which is why Biden is pushing for "Build back better". A trillion dollar infrastructure development plan which is expected to boost the minimum wage and drive the employment through the roof.

Unless you're working in the civil service, the government can't directly employ you. Take it to the bank

The point is simple. Building flyover is not infrastructure for job Creation. That is thrash,and deceit to keep the people in poverty. Government should stop that stale joke.

Let us use housing as a practical example.

Government can find a real estate company with sound skill to partner with.

Then Support them with land. Then infrastructure like road in the place, power, water etc but in that place.

Also can give the company development loan. After the first phase of development, the company sells the property at a reduced rate to pay back the loan.

In that place, they will need workers, give sub contacts to companies.

At the end, the Government provides housing, jobs etc.

The infrastructure development is directly related to the housing and job Creation process.

Don't just go constructing roads for construction sake. There should be an economic growth plan already in place.

Let us say there is need for the development of an integrated farm in an area. The Government has to partner with a multinational private firm that is good at developing and producing this.

Then Government can give them tax reliefs, land, then develop roads to these places. When the company kicks off, they will have jobs, produce etc.

You combat poverty and hunger with that scheme.

Same goes for modular refineries, gas plants etc.

Not investing in road construction and flyover and shouting urban renewal up and down.

Government has a big role to play in job Creation.

Nope construction work is not that expensive really every engineer like umiah knows that

His style is simple used his company to do the construction work at a fair price since no one to settle

Two ebonyi has lots and lots of granite deposit so it's easier in a way. ..

Their soil structure is good too so lower construction cost

So everything fell in place for him
You mean Umahi company won the bid to construct most of those projects?

Umahi has really tried in Urban Renewal.
Pray the next government will consolidate on his legacies and wade into other sectors that of much concern to the people.

Modified: Umahis secret is the abundant deposit of granite, sand in Ebonyi.
He only purchases Rod and Cement.
And he uses direct labour to execute so many of his projects.
He recruits young engineers and architects
And as a civil engineer himself, he is the CEO of all his projects.
It's economically wrong to have Ministry of works and still be awarding all contracts to third party contractors.
Instead, employ Engineers and Architects into the ministry.
Buy machines and equipments.
Work is set.
He's really using the abundant mineral resources in his state in a very resourceful manner.

You are right sir no doubt, but everything is a gradual process. If Umahi isn’t able to do those things you listed, then the next government can embark on them. Development isn’t something that happens in a day

Get that into your head.

Everything has its time and season.


I happened to see awka City planning drawn during Peter obi time. There was flyover in it.
I wonder why he and obiano didn't start with flyover.

Demand attracts flyover if necessary. When you create a master plan and follow it, even if 30 yrs after, all that where in that plan will be executed. Every state and country know it.

I asked, how many Flyover do london have?
Is ebonyi going to be busier than London in the next century?
The way you guys defend these people is worrisome. Is it because of poverty?

I7 wasted money and projects.
Assuming he made that city a tourist one, at least we will have tourists that will attract chains of development in the city.

they're massive infrastructure which one way or another lubricates the economy.

Government has little or no business with job creation. What they need to do is put in infrastructure and the private sector will take over. With these things, investors don't need to bother about siting their companies in remote areas because there's road connection to the world. So he did so well


I do agree with you on the importance and priority of infrastructure. Were the 17 flyovers priority? ... were there constant massive traffic jams at the 17 points that made it necessary for the flyovers? ... the money used .... couldn't it be spent to expand or improve other infrastructure such as new roads ?... rehabilitation of old roads ? ... potable water expansion projects? ... increase in electricity generation and expansion of distribution? Was yet another flyover more pressing than any of these? ... just curious.

When we talk of job, we are talking of something that can sustain for decades.

So shout daft again.

I am talking about empowering business for sustainable growth you are shouting daft and talking about working for some years in a construction site. Please that is not a sustainable job process.
