You be olodo So some one who is doing his job well should not be praised?
Some one who made Life easy n comfortable for u ?
Some one who makes u proud ?
Common this particular governor deserves all the praise
he can get.

continentalceo:
We Praise them to encourage them because we have 36 Governors in Nigeria but only a handful embark on massive developmental projects like this. Others just loot and share the money. So that's why its good to encourage this few that are doing their best telling them that the people see what they are doing and appreciate them for it

Abagworo:
The way they are fighting Okorocha may make them never to smell that office. Orlu zone has majority of wealthy people, almost the entire oil, highest population and highest LGAs. Just take 2 LGAs and add to whoever they support and election is over.

I however plead with Imolites to forgive them and let justice and equity reign. I personally will like Mbaise to produce Governor come 2019 but I can't seem to figure out who. Ihedioha cannot be Governor for sure. Prof Njoku will be more acceptable to other Imolites.

Schematics:
Ignore the bitter troll. He owns these handles customized13, menabadoo, lolzzzz, Nwabekeyi, inlandtapan etc. He is not yoruba, don't mind his moniker..it's just a cover.

AtlanticBreeze:
yawnssssssssss.... all these long epistles because there are no signature projects to die to obi's administration despite receiving more money and spending more years than obiano? rubbish

AnamCity:
This was commissioned last year and they are working night and day to make the city the best in Nigeria.



In keeping with the desire of the Governor Willie Obiano administration to create a decent environment for the people, the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) is partnering with the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) to develop a world-class city focused on Dubai Model City concept. Stakeholders converged over the weekend for the 2015 NIA State Chapter Annual Conference organized by NIA and ACTDA at the Emmaus House, Awka with the theme: “Developing An Effective Urban Master Plan for Awka Capital Territory.”

Speaking after declaring the one-day seminar open, governor Obiano stated that as a friend of the “built environment” who is excited with the activities of the NIA, he believes in professional organizations driving the process of infrastructural development. Governor Obiano who was represented by the Executive Vice Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of ACTDA, Arc. Michael Okonkwo recalled that since the May 15, 2014 inauguration of the 10-man Board for ACTDA, the team has kept pace with the mandate to transform Awka like Dubai did from 1990 to 2013.

To achieve the transformation, Obiano said ACTDA was mandated to accelerate infrastructural development of the Awka Capital Territory, prepare a Master Plan for the Territory, implement the Awka Capital Territory Master Plan, provide infrastructural services and coordinate all building development activities of the private sector, parastatals and government agencies within the Territory.
According to him, the Awka Capital Territory consists of six local government areas in part or in whole of Anaocha, Awka North, Awka South, Dunukofia, Njikoka and Orumba North.

He pointed out that the Model City Concept for Awka Capital Territory considered and adopted most efficient, productive, lucrative and affordable design principles before settling for three Capital Cities of Dubai of United Arab Emirates; Seoul, the capital city of South Korea and Kigali, the capital city of Republic of Rwanda

The governor stressed that the importance he attaches to an orderly environment informed the speed with which he approved the Development Control Manual (DCM) produced by ACTDA, geared towards ensuring orderliness that will propel sustainable development in Awka Capital Territory and control of land use and institution of compliance with space standards and approved designs. He said ACTDA has completed such projects as Aerial Photography of Awka Capital Territory with a resolution of 10 cm, using a mapping that produces a higher Digital Terrain Model height accuracy for urban planning and engineering designs and aerial photogrammetric method of surveying that involves measurement and interpretation of features directly from aerial photography.

In his welcome address, Chairman of the State chapter of NIA, Arc. Peter Okpala noted that the theme of the conference was carefully chosen as a major contribution of the Association to the infrastructural development in the State, stressing that “the choice was informed by our decision to partner with the current administration of governor Obiano that has shown good desire to lay a solid foundation for orderly infrastructural development.”

“The members of the NIA Anambra State, very desirous of working to improve our environment, saw the setting up of Awka Capital Territory Development Authority as a wonderful opportunity to create a world-class city in our State and also a platform for us to achieve our long desire to create a decent environment for our people. There might have been attempts to produce the master plan before now, but it never materialized.

“He appreciated the governor for appointing professionals in the art of governance, adding that his quick response during the period of incessant collapse of building in the State and setting up Collapsed Building Panel has ensure that not a single building has collapsed again unlike between June and September 2014 when about 10 buildings collapsed in the State”.

While hailing Rubend Nig. Ltd and Intercolor Ltd for their exhibitions, at the conference, Arc Okpala sought for partnership with the State government in the areas of project monitoring and supervision for which the Association requested for a bus and project monitoring vehicle for effectiveness.

@ANAMCITY; Thanks for the info.. its nice to make proposals but it should be followed up with Action.. I look forward to A well planned Awka City.

AnamCity:
It is now at the implementation stage. The city is structures in line with Kigali, Dubai and Seoul. Greenwood City is another new city within the Capital territory being executed by the government. Below are some of the roads being built there, it is a standard gauge roads that comes with walk-ways, grassed kerbs-sidewalks etc. Even the new 3-Arms zone is being built inside the Greenwood-city.

Kennycyphers:
Which part of Anambra is this?

AnamCity:
It is Awka, part of the Greenwood-city.

Kennycyphers:
I have not seen this part of Awka before...

OBAFEMIawolowo:
Wellie is not working Jack, I'm currently serving in anmabra state. These flyovers are quite unnecessary (except that of aroma junction) because the roads in awka are tiny and substandard. Awka looks like a village and he's busy building flyover on the express.

The flyover project is just eye service, he should have enlarged roads in awka, build pedestrian walkway and upgrade the city generally.

Total waste of money for now.

Ilovemystate:
Your are a pathological lair, the three flyover within Awka metropolis was flagged off third quarter of 2014 by Gov Obiano.
Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano launched yesterday the building of three flyovers in Awka. Commissioner for Works Calistus Ilozumba said they would cost N5billion. The governor also launched the construction of the three arms zone located at Agu-Awka....
