Eke-Awka Achievements

In the history of Anambra state, Eke-Awka has been a challenge to decongest, we have barrow bushers, keke, hawkers etc, no wonderful movement around that area because you could spend over 3hours in traffic, it defiled the aim of traffic light.

Since the era of OCHA BRIGADE led by Kenneth Okonkwo, the MD Ochabrigade and his team, Eke-Awka has been a wonderful place to behold, we have free movement, no more traffic, you can close your eyes and drive, you can go to Eke-Awka without lot of thought on how to overcome Eke-Awka challenge

PoliticsPhotos: NDLEA Nabs SA Based Nigerian Man In Possession Of Drugs Worth N31m At La by raker300(op): 6:00am On Sep 14, 2016
A 45-year-old Nigerian based in Pretoria, South Africa, Abiodun Israel Banjo has been arrested by officials of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA for possessing parcels of drugs at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos.

According to a statement issued on Monday, Sept. 12th by NDLEA spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju, the arrest took place during the outward screening of passengers on a South African Airline flight to South Africa.
The parcels of drugs tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 3.435kgs with an estimated street value of N31 million in Nigeria

Describing how the drugs were discovered, NDLEA Commander, Ahmadu Garba explained that during a routine luggage check, NDLEA agents noticed that Mr. Banjo's two bags contained methamphetamine concealed under clothing and food items.

However, the suspect, a graduate of the Technical College of Ijebu-Ode from Osun State, denied knowledge of the drug in his bag, claiming that a friend gave him the bag in South Africa.

"I work in Pretoria. My friend in South Africa called me saying that his brother would give me two bags containing foodstuff to take to him. He also promised to give me two thousand dollars. I opened the bags and checked thoroughly, but could not find anything criminal. That was how I accepted to take the bags," Mr. Banjo explained.

"I was surprised when the drug was detected under the bags. I feel very sad that my friend has implicated me."

NDLEA Chief Executive Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah called on members of the public to be aware of tricks employed by drug trafficking cartels.

"Drug traffickers recruit mules by enticing them with money. They are very clever in concealing drugs, as drugs have been detected in bags, electronics, foodstuff and clothes among others. We strongly advise that all passengers should endeavor to pack their bags themselves and avoid taking bags for others,"

The NDLEA boss added that ignorance was no excuse in drug trafficking and the suspect would be charged for unlawful exportation of narcotics.

"A person shall be deemed to have exported a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance under this NDLEA Act; if he brings to or deposits the narcotic drug or psychotropic substance concerned at any time at any customs area such as airports, customs port or any other customs point generally," Mr. Abdallah explained.

Awka, 25 Years After

By James Eze (eziokwubundu@gmail.com)

Awka was just a mere province when President Ibrahim Babangida carved out Anambra State from present Enugu and Ebonyi States and named Awka the capital. It was a pronouncement that placed a heavy burden on the hitherto sleepy town which had long earned a name from the exploits of its massively talented blacksmiths. As one of the Senatorial Zones at the time, Awka was also noted for its great sons and daughters including the cerebral Prof Kenneth Dike, the first black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan who was clearly ahead of his time. There is also General Isaac Chikadibia Obiakor, first African Military Advisor to the UN on Peacekeeping Operations as well as Senator Ben Obi, former Presidential Adviser on politics among many others.

With its assumption of the status of the capital of Nigeria’s most endowed state in human capital terms, all eyes soon turned to Awka. Expectations were high as Nigerians wondered what Anambra’s famous citizens would do with their new state capital. In most people’s vision of Awka, it would not take time to see high rise buildings spring up to announce the emergence of what should be the new capital city of the South East. Hopes were high on the rapid evolution of a 21st Century city with dazzling boulevards and gleaming terrace homes.

25 years after, the great expectations that we all had of Awka have not quite come to pass. But there is a great beginning at the moment. Years of turbulent political brinkmanship and a seeming paucity of vision by successive leaders had left Awka as a wishful thought until now. In other words, for more than twenty of its twenty five odd years as a state capital, no administrator was able to figure a way out of the puzzle of turning Awka into a modern capital. Worse still, there were no landmarks or anything to remind a passer-by that he was within the range of the capital of a great state… a clear indication that while there was politics aplenty, there was not enough leadership.

At least not until APGA took over the state twelve years ago. Happily, Awka has dramatically evolved in the past two years to assert itself in the social matrix of the South East. While it does not have mazy boulevards and freeways yet, the stretch of the federal highway that snakes through it to Enugu has been transformed to a six-lane thoroughfare with three amazing flyovers that fittingly announce the ambition of the Obiano administration. Although they are not fully completed now, the flyovers have changed the face of Awka for good. The once sleepy town will fully transform into a city of light when the suspensions on the bridges are fully lighted on completion and they begin to splash a pool of incandescent light into the night skies to lure revelers out for the assorted pleasures the city offers in abundance.

Indeed, social life has since picked up in Awka on a scale that makes socialites predict that if security remains airtight in Anambra as is the case at the moment, Awka would soon become the entertainment capital of the South East, outstripping Owerri and Enugu with the economic power of Anambra youths, most of who often return to their villages on weekends out of habit.
Awka presents a fascinating social mosaic on Friday nights when the old night clubs and emerging new ones sizzle with offerings that keep the night endlessly young. There is also a slew of drinking bazaars and a pizazz of fun-vending outlets that offer more than what goes through the mouth. Pun intended!

Beyond the steamy nights and the tapestry of titillating offerings, Awka will soon acquire the full honours of a modern city with sparkling business districts and highbrow residential areas. In a manner of speaking, the Obiano administration has taken the matter onto its hands. The Awka Capital Development Authority (ACDA) has already concluded the aerial mapping of the city and all of Anambra with a view to deciding what should be built where. The agency, headed by debonair Arc Mike Okonkwo has also produced brilliant drawings and plans of an ultramodern city with contemporary motifs that combine the clockwork inefficiencies of Dubai, Seoul and Kigali with the African themes that fit into our peculiar environment. Sadly, the sudden slump in the nation’s economy which has wiped out revenues from the centre has slowed down the earlier programmed pace of work on the new Awka Capital City project. But it has not entirely killed the dream.

The good news about Awka is that unlike before, Anambra’s many illustrious sons and daughters have started buying up choice real estate and moving into locations to build. And if they could do it for many Nigerian and West African cities, they could certainly do it for our own Awka.
