Meet Jude Igwemezie, Biography, Won A $500 Million Contract In Iraq by meolaniyi(m): 9:18pm On Sep 17, 2018
A Nigerian Engineer, based in Canada, Jude Igwemezie, has won a $500 million contract to build a monorail network in Iraq.

Mr. Igwemezie, who was also trained in Canada, heads TransGlobim International, the engineering company that won the bid. The contract is to construct what is described as “a viable rail transportation network” for the city of Najaf. The network will connect three Islamic holy and historic mosques in Imam Ali, Kufa and Sahle.

An elated Mr. Igwemezie told NEXT in a telephone interview that the project is billed to be completed in three years, and will be built in two phases. The first phase, he said, will cover the design, construction and operation of the system while the second phase will involve the expansion of the system and its extension to the Najaf airport and the final phase.

Mr. Igwemezie, who said he has been involved in negotiation with Nigerian officials in the last 18 months to construct several rail lines in the country, disclosed that it took “only two months to get the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) executed with Iraqi officials”.

Hinting at his frustration to offer his services to Nigeria, Mr. Igwemezie said, “as a Diaspora person, I kept coming back, knocking, to help Nigeria. On the other hand I can’t knock forever.”

Odogwu Aburo guy name. Nigerian Government could have easily availed themselves the opportunity of making use of this ebullient son of the soul but ethnicism and religious connotations wouldn't let them, all to the detriment of the poor masses.

Great job my brother.

Our useless self-hating leaders won't respect or value you of course.

If you had fronted a Chinese looking homeless guy who didn't even complete his basic education, they would have listened to and drafted a division of security agencies to escort you guys all over the country.

Mumu leaders.

Abeg keep repping and earning in dollars joor, when your pocket don full, you come back change the money to naira buy one state.

"as a Diaspora person, I kept coming back, knocking, to help Nigeria. On the other hand I can’t knock forever.”



As a Diaspora Nigerian, the government might even ask him why he did not leave Canada to do NYSC in Nigeria when he graduated donkey years ago, since he knew he would later develop interest in his Nigerian roots.

They will tell him no government contract without NYSC discharge or exemption. Infact, if he is interested in any contract with government, he must return as an adult and undertake the 1yr National Service he is owing Nigeria before any business deals can be entertained by the government.


Hahahahaha!


Mr Diaspora, abeg focus on your business wherever you get it. Worry not about Nigeria and the things they would rather hold in high regard.

You posted an outdated story and at the same time wants to shame the tribe of the person you glorified in your post.
You also can't do a google search on your own.

Oboy,you are really a pitiable human.
First giveaway:'Next' magazine went off the production line in 2011,so there is no way they interviewed anyone in 2018.
Second:google Najaf Monorail project.The contract bill was actually $600m.Everything including doubts about the genuineness of the nigerian led firm begins and ends in 2010.Nothing on actual construction.
I think you can broaden your Joy from those links.
Don't forget to send me your thank you gift.5k should be OK.
