We need deep IT services and startup in South East. We have industries, manufacturing and production we need more tech entrepreneurs.

This is fantastic and good, the sea port will be the game changer, it will create more than 100,000 jobs directly and indirectly, take the igr of Anambra to nothing less than N400B and give the state which is already among the first 5 most powerful state in Nigeria an edge as a super state.

All south East states have the potential of becoming mega states with igr of more than N300b , Enugu airlines will be a game changer, Abia Airport and fiber backbone will open up the state to ICT powerhouse, Anambra sea port project will transform Anambra to a fully industrial state , net exporter and manufacturing powerhouse, imo state seems to be working on tapping that gas and petroleum deposits while Ebonyi might as well explore agricultural potentials

Very good
Re: Anambra State Govt Plans Railway Project, To Revitalize Riverport(photos) by AustineE1:
Unlike privileged Lagos,where federal government awards a whole lot of intra state lines to Lagos,only for Lagos state govt to link it up with inter state rail lines.
Anambra as a pacesetter state,will do well if the ambitious and very determined governor
can nuture these rail lines to fruition,inspite of the obvious lack of support from FG,it will boost the economy of Anambra and environs.

Imo and Ebonyi states are not doing anything!

By the time Enugu air takes to the sky , imo will have no option than to float Imo Air. Ebonyi has all it takes to get an investor to turn around the Abakiliki cement that would have powered all the infrastructure projects going on in the East bit it seems they are preoccupied with empowerment of their indigenes first. The government of Ebonyi seems not to understand that the East is running on a fast track to either industrialized or become a failed state

Any mention of where the funds are coming from and the funding model they intend to use?

Before any south-east state embarks on a project such as intra-state rail, or before the states in the south-east consider a regional rail network, i think they should have first considered establishing a steel industry…either owned by a state or owned collectively as a region. Building a rail network would require a lot of steel, and it doesn’t make sense to include that in the things to be imported for the project when the raw materials and expertise for steel production are available locally. This would reduce the cost of the project, and i’m sure if we check well there’d be diaspora Igbo capable of contributing their skills and experience towards the project which could reduce the cost even further!

If it’s from Soludo, I believe him.

I wish him best of luck and Anambra people should vote him in the next election.

Soludo doesn't have any opposition in next election, he has used massive projects across the state to buy major stakeholders even in opposition parties on his side, open the link and hear what major APC stakeholder said about Soludo today, he was former campaign chairman of Andy Ubah when he campaign against Soludo 👇👇

Soludo is a better governor than Obi. Am not surprised cos he was also a proactive cbn former governor. He save Nigeria from bank collapse. He is all round better. From education to governance and yet most igbos don't like him cos he don't support foolishness. God bless him.

The idea of a river port is good but remember that the river Niger dredging project which Jonathan made so much noise and fanfare about and awarded billions in contract for, has been abandoned. Without a dredged river Niger, a river port in Anambra will not be feasible.
