Nnewi is one of the most viable commercial towns in Nigeria. The town arguably has the highest number of industries in the South-East, employing thousands of young Nigerians. Despite being a town that generates revenue for both the government, corporate and private businesses, Nnewi is still lacking major infrastructures that will position her as a mega-city. With Nigeria’s culture of abandoned projects, Nnewi is not different as the city is decorated with many abandoned projects which have been detrimental to the infrastructural growth of the town. These abandoned projects are either those of the government or private individuals. 1. Nnewi Shopping Mall Since the commencement of the construction of Nnewi Shopping Mall during the administration of former Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency Mr Peter Obi, the project has been riddled with many controversies both from the angle of the government and the host community, Nnewi. The Shopping Mall is situated at the heart of the town, Nkwo Nnewi Triangle, which is one of the communal lands of Nnewi, it is owned by all the four quarters in Nnewi which include: Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewichi and remains the meeting point for the people of Nnewi. The project which was awarded to a Chinese firm at the cost of N3 Billion Naira, in 2013, has been abandoned following different court litigations. 2.Nnewi Roman Catholic Cathedral Our Lady of Assumption Cathedral, Nnewi, is the principal church of the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi. For the past Thirteen (13) years, the church which should be the centre of activities of the Diocese has been without a building. The former building for the Cathedral was pulled down by the then Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, who promised to build what he described as a better edifice befitting of the Cathedral. Ten (10) years down the line, no major construction works have been done on the site, as the church is still holding mass under a makeshift church. However, Senator Ifeanyi has continued to reassure the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi of his commitment towards ensuring that the project is completed.

But later-on they found out that peter obi have other intention which i will not be able to mention here. If u could remember ojukwu first son was incharge of the trangle before. When they wanted to release the land to state government there was an agrement reached. There was a time when the contractor took igwe to court. Without knowing that igwe pass government, at last d case go in d favour of igwe |

LegendAnselm:So just what is it that Obi did more than 7 years ago that can’t be undone? If it’s an illegal act, it should even be easier to remedy! We just like giving ourselves lame excuses for not doing what we should do! That was how i asked why Okorocha didn’t revive the oil palm fortunes of Imo state via the huge palm plantation at Ohaji, and i was told their was a ‘dispute’ with some locals! Very annoying, walahi! 1 Like |

The location of that Nnewi mall is so wrong. How can you build shopping mall in that confined space that is prone to heavy vehicular traffic? Peter Obi used that project to loot a lot of money. If not that the project has gone to a substantial level, I would have suggested that it be knocked down and a modern recreation park be built in its place. 1 Like |
