Ikpeazu promises to complete ABIIC project
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has reiterated his commitment to see to the actualization of the Abia International Industrial City (ABIIC) project located at Osisioma.
Ikpeazu made the pledge while receiving development partners of the Project and Management of Acroideation International Limited who paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Umuahia;
He said the project was significant in that it was borne out of the need to establish key sectors of the economy of the state, adding that the project would establish the foundation for the development of competitive domestic products for exports thus launching the state into the rich field of global economy within time.
Ikpeazu further said his government was ever ready to provide the enabling environment for business to thrive, as his government was desperate to develop the state.
He said the state government was looking for any opportunities, windows and investors to unleash the state entrepreneurial spirit, adding that Abia State has a lot to offer Nigeria and Africa.
Governor Ikpeazu also said the state door is always open to businessmen who have ideas to help it move forward.
He encouraged the company to move in as quickly as they can, “Our target from 2016 is we will not allow Nigeria to import shoes for our military. Abia State is producing shoes, adding He would like to see shops in London, New York with made in Aba shoes on their shelves.
Earlier, the President CEO of ABIIC, Prince Uzoma Ohaja intimated the governor about the ABIIC, noting that the project will gulp about N300 billion.
He expressed happiness that the state government is committed to the project and informed the governor that the ABIIC project has gone beyond Abia State.

Tension in Abia community over alleged disobedience of court order
0
By Our Reporter on December 21, 2015 National

From Chuks Onuoha, Umuahia

AGITATION by the youths of Lokpaukwu Umuchieze community in Ummnneochi Council Area of Abia State is grad­ually building tension in the area. The cause of the tension, which is threaten­ing the peace of the state and the granite-rich com­munity, is the alleged dis­obedience of a court order by two mining companies.

A visit to the communi­ty last Friday revealed the youths were spoiling for war over the alleged dis­obedience to the Federal High Court Order, which stopped the two mining firms, Asphalt Unity Con­struction Limited, a Leba­nese company and Pioneer Sinochino Investment Venture Limited, a Chi­nese company from oper­ating at the Aguokeakpu quarry land of Amaubiri/ Umutu in the community.

Meanwhile, leaders and major stakeholders in the community have urged the Assistant Inspector General of Police to wade into the matter and en­sure the court order was obeyed to avoid break­down of law and order.

Trouble started follow­ing disagreement between the 35 landowners of the mining field and the two mining firms, over which of them has the legal right of mining the particular site, which led to the mat­ter being taken to court.

As a result, Justice F. A. Olubanjo of the Fed­eral High Court, Umua­hia, in his ruling in the application, ordered that the parties maintain the status quo. He went fur­ther to explain that the or­der meant that “whatever acts have been completed remain so until this court otherwise so order.”

The youths, who spear­headed the agitation, said they had observed that Pi­oneer Sinochino had been flouting the court order by operating on the site despite the court order.

They alleged that the company entered the dis­puted area from an ad­joining land and had been mining stones and granite despite the court order.

Confronted with the allegation of flouting court order, Public Rela­tions Officer of Pioneer Sinochino, Arinze Nwa­for, denied his firm was flouting the court order. Throwing more light on the matter, Nwafor said the court order stated that status quo be main­tained, and that they were already operating in the disputed area before the order, hence they were still within the order.

Abia political stakeholders urge Buhari to reappoint Adighije at RMFAC

on December 18, 2015 / in News 12:45 am / Comments

By Anayo Okoli

UMUAHIA—MAJOR political stakeholders from the three senatorial zones of Abia State, have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to approve the reappointment of Senator Chris Adighije as the state’s representative at the Revenue Mobilization and Fiscal Allocation Committee, RMFAC, noting that he brought positive changes to the state in his first tenure.

According to them, “Senator Adighije really worked hard for the interest of Abia State and deserves to continue for the greater good of the state.”

Rising from an emergency meeting in Umuahia, the stakeholders which cut across political divides, urged President Buhari to “hearken to the voice of Abia people and reappoint Senator Adighije,” who they said was a good ambassador of the state at RMFAC.

Among Adighije’s achievements, according to them, were refund of N12.7 billion said to have accrued to the state from the 22 oil wells formerly ceded to Rivers State, as well as a recovery of N266 million wrongly debited to Abia.

They also said that Adighije “started and completed the process that led the Federal Government to refund another N7.6 billion from Isimiri Oil Field from Rivers State, and upgrading Abia State in the national revenue chart from third position to 26th position.”

EbuGeneral:
this is not ariaria. onye ashi

where is it Onye Oshi?
Is that not Samek(old express) which could also be included as Ariaria, why is it that you people always like to find fault in Abia and Imo. E mere ya unu eme?

EbuGeneral:
tried where? all the roads he built in IBEKU villages like LODU, OKWUTA, AHIAEKE, IHIE, OHOKOBE are now getting bad. substandard road called trying?

Oga I've retired from Nairaland argument. I think all these roads were constructed?

Blame your ecological system, the standard of road constructed in North can not be compared to that of East where road can be coated up to 10x and the Northern ones can be likened to those ones you called Dubia roads in east but they last longer because of their ecological system where there is less rainfall compared to East.

Our problem in the east is excessive rainfall and less federal govt attention.

Welcome bro

Some pictures from Aba, Abia State.

I love what am seeing

Who can answer this simple question: Why is it that ALL roads leading to Abia state are in terrible state of disrepair?

While coming from Enugu (immediately you see "Welcome to Abia state", potholes will start greeting you.

Travelling from the Akwa Ibom through Ukwa/Akwete axis is just horrible.

Same experience will greet you when travelling from Ikot ekpene to Aba or Umuahia.

What pains me more is the usual glaring difference (from good to bad) once you enter Abia state.

What's wrong with Abia even with all the brains, money and tech know-how?

All the federal roads in South-south and Southeast are in same deplorable condition hence all roads leading to all States are bad. The only exception is Owerri/Onitsha highway which links Imo and Anambra. I therefore fault your reason for this unnecessary attack on Abians. The attack belongs to FG and more especially the GEJ led one that deceived Ndigbo.
