Although they are also co owners of the city, but the numbers of destitute people who rest on our bus stops is enough to scare others from using the shade. Can they resettle these destitutes?

Do we have to beg the state of local gov'ts responsible before they do something about these pricks that deface those bus-stops? They should lie in wait for one of the fuc'kers, catch him in the act, and then give him the beating of his life......instant justice!!! How can we have a decent city with this kind of selfish anti-social behaviour going on!? sad

Is never an insult because Abu Onye Abakaliki (Even though am not frm Abakaliki area),but is an insult to bad mouth Abakaliki simply because a guy said he traveled from Abakaliki to Enugu and met a red dust which if u ask him the date it mighty be 10yrs back.
Thank God Chino is here to help u derail this thread.

Bros, you and I have exactly the same thought on this. But, I was just having a rethink, you should simply hold the dude whose picture is in the poster responsible. Let him figure out which of his boys commited the vandalism of government property. Waiting to catch them red handed commiting the crime may be a fruitless waste of manpower.

of course that's the best approach. Am in Enugu now and it's annoying to see how these politicians are littering this town.

On the other hand, the state govt is still making effort to plant trees and lawn, most of the roads are getting trees, road markings, street lights and traffic lights. In terms of achieving his agenda for enugu state, I give chime 75% pass, he really kept his promise. Next governor, should focus on health and education, our primary and secondary schools needs revamping.
Not forgetting centenary city, serious work is on going there.

If you haven't visited Enugu, you are seriously missing. Come and experience simple, serene, organsised and beautiful life in Enugu. This xmas is gonna be hot in Enugu, I can feel it, don't be left out cheesy

Oga Spyder,
Please do. I am seriously considering investing in the centenary city to own a home there. But i really don't know if the project is seriously being pursued with vigor.

That will be very nice, thank you so much for your coverage. I don't think it's a mere coincidence that what we discuss here gets corrected on ground. So, let's keep the good ideas coming, you never know who might read them or where such will lead you.

TURKISH AIRLINES TO COMMENCE FLIGHTS TO ABUJA, ENUGU IN MARCH


The government of Turkey said on Friday that Turkish Airlines would commence scheduled flights into the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu in March 2015.
The Turkish ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Mustafa Pulat, made the announcement in Abuja when he paid a courtesy call on the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Aminu Wali.
Pulat said that direct Turkish airlines flights into more cities in Africa were part of a renewed commitment to strengthening Turkey-Africa strategic partnership.
He used the occasion to invite Nigeria to participate in the second meeting of the Turkey-Africa Cooperation Summit, scheduled to hold in Malabo from Nov. 19 to Nov. 21.
“Our president, foreign minister and minister for the economy are going to Malabo and we are doing this with the AU, which has promised to invite African countries, including Nigeria.’’
He said that Turkey was willing to contribute its quota to Africa’s development through strategic partnership.
According to statistics from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, trade volume between Turkey and Africa has increased more than tenfold in 13 years.
The statistics indicated that trade reached $7.5 billion in 2013, up from $742 million in 2000.
The envoy also extended his country’s invitation to Nigeria to participate in the upcoming meeting of the Committee of Social and Economic Cooperation in Istanbul later in November.
The committee is a subsidiary of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
The ambassador also solicited Nigeria’s support for Turkey’s hosting of the 10th conference of the World Trade Organisation, scheduled to hold in 2015.
He expressed delight at the cordial economic and trade relations between both countries.
Pulat, however, called for the conclusion of negotiations and signing of the Promotion and Protection of Investments Agreement between both countries to boost trade ties.
The envoy said the agreement on double taxation was still pending and acknowledged that his mission had received a new draft from the Nigerian side.
He told Wali that Istanbul was currently considering the draft of the agreement.
According to him, several Turkish companies are willing to invest in the energy, aviation and housing sectors in Nigeria.
Pulat commended Nigeria for containing the spread of Ebola but expressed surprise that his country was mentioned as one of the countries that were discriminating against travellers from Nigeria.
He said there were few isolated cases when travellers from Nigeria were subjected to medical examination over concerns for symptoms of the Ebola virus disease.
Wali thanked the Turkish Government for extending its national carrier to Kano, his home town and for opening more routes in Nigeria.
He pledged that the ministry would continue to encourage the signing of more Bilateral Air Services Agreement as a springboard to encouraging more direct investment into Nigeria.
The minister acknowledged that Turkish investments in Nigeria were visible in the tourism, power, education and health sectors, among others.
He pledged Nigeria’s support to Turkey’s hosting of the WTO conference and assured the ambassador of Nigeria’s participation in the event.
Wali also welcomed Turkey’s offer of defence and military cooperation with Nigeria in the fight against terror and insurgency. (NAN)

It was initially proposed but considering that there was virtually no good road in Enugu metropolis then, the idea was jettisoned and the money plowed into massive rehabilitation of roads. I liked the idea because the cost of building it was prohibitive and mono-rail has loads of problems associated with it as it requires constant power supply to run. It is always a big problem when it breaks down. Building mono rail in a city without good roads makes no sense. I think that was the best decision taken by Sullivan.

Walahi, this is annoying excuse. A state like ogun is constructing a monorail why not a great city like Enugu.
