FUNDAMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE (PARTIAL LISTING)

1. Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa. At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, I left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.

2. For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before my tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners.

3. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State. Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.

4. He was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.

5. The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under him did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.

6. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.

7. The State's ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners - Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.

8. The State also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.

10. Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, his Government funded the transformation of -:

a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.

11. His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.

12. The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.

13. Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.

14. The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.

15. More than 700 buses were provided to secondary schools in the State by our Government.

16. Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.

17. Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.

18 As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, a number of companies were attracted to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.

19. A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under our Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.

20. Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.

21. To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.

22. His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.

23. His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).

24. His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion - National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) - to Anambra State.

25. His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies.

26 His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.

27. During his tenure and with his Government's support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.

28. He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.

29. His government commenced the development of the 'Three Arms Zone' comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.

30. By the end of his tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when we took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.

31. Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID..

Arrest who what about them that hurl insults anyhow they have immunity Abi anybody is free to support candidate he/she wants is it by force to support Obi , if you don't support obi you are unpatriotic I say it again and again Obidients are Confusionist , carry on Brymo I wan see wetin go happen next because Obi will lose handsdown and nothing will happen.

Arkmanbuddy:
Deji just loves cruising on any Igbo discourse. Brymo only reacted to bullying by Obidients and showed he could not be shut up by anyone.

The Yorubas have been called Fulani slaves by these same people and no one was cancelled. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

can we suggest nnamdi treatment to be melted on brymo? Hypocrisy is when you reserve great disdain to nnamdi uncultured opinion and turn around to show support to brymo.

seunmsg:
Nobody can arrest or cancel Brymo. He’s already the man of the year for me. Standing up to the bullying of bigots and returning violence for violence is no crime. May Obidients not happen to Nigeria.

As much as you have right to your opinion, also bear in mind that their is no difference between brymo tribal bigotry and nnamdi Kanu hateful opinion,I don't expect much from you as a Yoruba Muslim who was raised to hate on igbos.

The yorubas who are cheering brymo should also bear in mind that NK and brymo share same opinion,you can't hate NK and love brymo is called hypocrisy.

When igboman insult and show hatred to hausas and Yoruba they are called enemies of the country, but Yoruba bigot can insult the igbos and the nation will look the other way,we are watching,if only the country is serious, brymo will used as( experiment of hate speech policy)

AdaojoTheUrchin:
So you approve his insult on the entire Igbo nation of 55million people, including the ones in APC?

Who dash una 55 mili?

maasoap:
No one is irreplaceable. It may throw challenges at first but it will be over at the end

Don't you think it's stupidity to hate people who your live might depend on ?

Lol you think north would not replace Igbos if they can ? They have tried Egypt, parkistain none can do it the way Igbos do ...right now we are leaving them for Europe and North America

Every state in the south east is building a medical university now ...Igbos in 15 years would be producing 20,000 medical professionals yearly and distributing them across the world that's our biggest asset

Sheggy13:
It's your hypocrisy that's making people make such comments. Nnamdi Kanu said way worse about Yorubas and Yoruba pastors but none of you Igbos called him out as you're doing to Brymo. You made a hero out of Kanu instead. That's the double standard we are talking about here.

...

Really maybe you should know that kanu have said worst against ndi Igbo and ohaneze than he did to Yorubas or other tribes..

We understand the case of kanu..

Should we now start talking about adeyinka grandson?

I don't really give a fvck about the opinion of afonjas towards the igbos because it changes nothing..

You guys should just stop shouting hate when you're been paid with your own coin.

Seunmsg, this is a new year. As you can see, I have tried to modify some things on this forum. You too learn from me naah! Stop using bots. Leave that to 2022. Stop using bots!

Lols you're either ignorant or a kid..

Igbos have a very thick skin to absorb any insult thrown to them..

You will be the one to make threat and whine when been insulted.

It's preposterous for ANY Igbo to attack and call other ethnic a tribal bigot.

There's no ethnic on Earth that's as bigot and tribalistic as Ndi Igbo.

So shut up and Remove the log in your eyes

Dozieson:

walefresh3:

Before 1pm today, you have met at least 3 Igbo people out of the first 7 people you have interacted with today. Deny it.

Brymo is just one of those jealous and tribalistic failed set of people that have this hatred for Igbos that are doing well, far better than them in the same hustle and in same Lagos.
Nothing else!!!

They are very bitter!!!

PlayerMeji:

When did afonja become the name of a tribe? You don't even deem it fit to address a tribe properly instead of using derogatory names and you're talking about hate.

SOFTSKILL:
E pain you well well. Next always note you dont have the monopoly of anything

Yoruba Muslims are inconsequential in the scheme of things. Get thee behind me!

mrvitalis:
Why brymo said is less compared to what he feels towards the Igbo nation , and there are millions of people like that in Nigeria millions I tell you

But all too much of a coward to openly say it ...you see them hiding in forums like clubhouse, nairaland ,fake Twitter and Instagram handles

I totally understand one can hate igbos ...I can understand the logic it's human nature

.what I can't get my head over is How can you hate an ethnic nation yet hellbent on sharing a country with them ....is that not mental illness ?

Most of this northern people with anti igbo sense were delivered by Igbo doctors n nurses in the north ....I there say if Igbos leave north the health n educational sector would crumble .... minimum of 25% of health professionals in the core north are Igbos that's me being conservative ooh

You are right but these hatredness and bigotry are not limited to Yoruba as an ethnic group alone, have you ever seen an Igbo man that has absolute hatred for Yoruba people before ehn? Incase you haven't, I have seen one. A lot of " supposed lovers or marriage" have been broken apart due to hatred and difference in ethnicity.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
So you approve his insult on the entire Igbo nation of 55million people, including the ones in APC?

please what’s the insult?

Make una get out abeg. Una wahala too much na una love OBI pass una too like agidi money without power.Make una no just use una non sense busybody spoil OBI shine

KingOfAmebo:
You just confirmed you are indeed a tribal bigot and a proud one, tribal bigots are not different from racists. So, don't feel offended if a white man calls you a black monkey because both of you share the same view and mindset.

#spites.

Did he call Ibos monkeys?

Advocate500:
As much as you have right to your opinion, also bear in mind that their is no difference between brymo tribal bigotry and nnamdi Kanu hateful opinion,I don't expect much from you as a Yoruba Muslim who was raised to hate on igbos.

Kanu made repeated hate speeches

What did Brymo say wrong?
