I have to repeat this until the appropriate authority gives due attention.



Princess Hotel, Okigwe collapses

The multi-million Naira Princess Hotel, Okigwe, being constructed by Imo State Government, has collapsed. Vanguard investigation revealed that the structure, which was still at its early stages, crumbled after the concrete beams were put in place by the contracting firm. It was also gathered that no life was lost in the incident but a civil engineer, who spoke on strict grounds of anonymity, blamed the crash on substandard materials or a possible plan by the contractor to cut corners. Reacting to the incident, the Senior Special Assistant (Media) to the Governor, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, described the hotel as “an on-going project that has not got to a level one would say it has collapsed”.

While saying that the project is still at its elementary stage, Onwuemeodo however explained that “what fell down was the form-work for the reinforced concrete slab, which the engineers handling the project said could not have fallen without being hit with hard object”. Answering a question, Onwuemeodo said that the suspicion that the form-work for the reinforced concrete slab was forced down with a strong object has been taken note of and the government has already taken steps to investigate the suspicion of sabotage.

The SSA further said that the engineer’s claim “has also raised the issue of sabotage”, stressing that the people who had rushed to the media to raise the alarm that the Princess Hotel has collapsed are the same people who have been telling their audience that the project does not exist. “It is therefore unfortunate that few elements in the state have decided not to see the numerous achievements of the state government in less than three years, but are only interested in negative stories about the government”, the SSA said.

Cursed old abogwara, I will start taking you seriously when I start seeing real infrastructural development as this anywhere in your Imo state.

Governor Okorocha had also been quoted as saying that Eastern Palm is a university built on public-private partnership model. He had allegedly said the university is owned by the Rochas Foundation and Imo state government indicating that while his private foundation owns 90 percent of the university the Imo state government owned 10 percent.
https://www.ripplesnigeria.com/management-crisis-rocks-okorochas-eastern-palm-university-vc-quits/



Okoroawusa has used state funds to build a private university but our own state university- IMSU is nothing to write about. After using state funds, he turned around to apportion himself 90% and apportion the state 10%. Even most secondary schools somewhere in Enugu and Anambra States are far better than IMSU. Who did this to Imo state?

You guys are so lucky in Imo that your Governor is doing quality job. Look at the so-called flyover my drunkard governor built with bricklayers at Awka.

That picture you showed was when the project was still ongoing. I rather prefer we have a drunkard that gave his state 3 brand new and functioning flyovers than the mess we have in Owerri. Rochas commissioned Owerri flyover with so much party and pump but today it is not being used because it collapsing. The one the so called drunkard built has been in use for the past 3yrs. Which is better?

Barely one month after the grand commissioning this was what we saw. The entire thing came down cracking all over and remained un-used till date. See below what COREN said:



The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) has raised concern over the integrity of an intersection bridge otherwise called flyover being constructed by the administration of Governor Rochas Okorocha at Amawire, Akwakuma in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the council’s first quarterly meeting for 2017, President and Chairman of the council, Mr. Kashim Ali disclosed that a letter had been written to the governor requesting him to provide details of the consultants and contractors handling the project so that they can furnish the body with some necessary information.



Ali warned that the council would not hesitate to invite the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), to storm the project site and arrest anybody seen there, if the government failed to comply.

“We got a disturbing report from Imo State on a bridge on Amawire, Okigwe Road and Akwakuma flyover. Our Engineering regulatory monitoring team noticed defects; they requested from the government the details of the consultants and contractors involved especially the engineers so we can know what went wrong.”

“The state government has not given us that information; we have written to the governor for them to give us the details urgently; to know the engineers involved to prevent what will cost lives. If they don’t do that, we have no option but to report the matter under our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) conditions to ICPC and they would find whoever it is and get information they need.”

The council also deliberated on the report of alleged professional misconduct against a Professor of Agriculture and Environmental Engineering, from the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Simon Irtwange and referred the case to an investigating panel to determine whether the actions constituted ethical misconduct.

COREN President said the professor would be tried by the tribunal if any case was established against him

Below are Rochas convoy the day he came to commission the flyover. The collapsing flyover should be demolished to save Imo people the shame and embarrassment. After 3yrs it is still not being used after commissioning. Face the truth for once.

That's an inspection by DCS not Okorocha and mind you the flyover is solid and in use even though not commissioned yet.

Stop your propaganda. The flyover is substandard and crashing down if you look at the pictures. Again the flyover has never been used since 4yrs ago Rochas commissioned the death trap. Show us pictures of vehicles using it.

Absolutely ugly and outdated structures being promoted by some as “working”. Not even 1 world class structure in Imo and abia states, and frankly hardly none in the East, yet Obiano will be happy to be contesting and winning with less than 20% voter turnout...

Present at the Inspection was the Committee for the upgrade of the School to a Polytechnic.
The Leader of the Committee, Engr. Ema Ojinere informed the people of the Area that Government is desirous of seeing every Child in the State educated, and has therefore introduced Free Education from Primary to Tertiary level.

Responding, the Traditional Ruler of Nnarambia Ahiara Community, Eze Pius Onyekwere expressed gratitude to the Governor for his magnanimity to the people of Ahiara and Mbaise as a whole.

Now the cursed useless old man called abogwara has agreed finally. Okorocha has failed Imo state, people are kidnapped and killed in Owerri and Imo state at large. Imo state is cursed just as you said.


Imo State is fast becoming decayed and rotten place.

Too many murders for one state.

I blame Okorawusa.

He recently collected Rivers militant meaning even more murders yet to come.

Government Promises College Of Health/Management Science Amaigbo A Facelift

Imo State Government has promised a facelift to the Management, Staff and Students of College of Health/ Management Science, Amaigbo in Nwangele Local Government Area.
The promise was made by the Commissioner for Tertiary and Non Formal Education, Prof Florence Emenalo when she visited the College.
According to her, the Institution is not yet accorded the recognition as a Tertiary Institution because of his attachment to the Ministry of Health Instead of Ministry of Education.
Mrs. Emenalo noted that the State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha deemed it wise to create the Ministry of Tertiary Education to make for effective relationship between State owned Tertiary Institution and the State Government through the Ministry.
Prof. Emenalo explained that the Ministry had to visit all the State owned Tertiary Institutions to ascertain their needs and pledged Government's commitment to upgrade the College to a higher Standard.
She assured them of more support from Government when she was shown round the College by the Provost, Dr Kenis Duru.
The Provost expressed joy over the Appointment of the Commissioner to be in charge of Tertiary and none formal Education, and thanked them for the visit.
He also commended the Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha for the free and qualitative Education Program.
