Imo Holds Maiden : Stakeholders Open Participatory Budget System Today

Posted by admin on Aug 21st, 2019 and filed under News. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0. Both comments and pings are currently closed.

In line with the promise of Governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo State that His Administration will be guided by rule of law, transparency and participatory governance, the 1st Open Budget Stake-holders forum of this Administration will take place today Thursday 22ndAugust, 2019 at Ahajioku Centre, New Owerri.

According to Hon. Commissioner Ministry of Budget & Economic Planning Hon. Reginald Ibebuzor in a statement said that the 2020 fiscal year Budget has commenced with release of Call Circular on 1st July 2019 to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State which was followed by Budget briefing with Directors of Accounts and Planning in MDAs and that of State Budget committee meeting comprising the Head of Service, Accountant-General of the State, State Auditor-General, The Ag. Permanent Secretary, the Director of Budget and Director Macro Economic Planning of the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning.

The Statement further stated that the Open Budget Stakeholders Forum is being packaged by the Ministry of Budget and Economic Planning and Hope Givers Initiative, an NGO that is committed to Open Budget System through voice of the people programme (V2P) and the essence is to practicalise the campaign promises of His Excellency Governor Ihedioha to run a oarticipatory Governance. The statement equally revealed that Citizens of the State will make input into 2020 Budget of the State at the forum which is anchored on Rebuild Imo project as participants are drawn from Government side and Citizens at LGAs and Community levels.

While Governor Ihedioha will lead His Cabinet, the Speaker Imo State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Collins Chiji will lead Imo Law makers and Local Government Interim Management Committee Chairmen are expected to lead 4 – man team from their respective LGAs made of one president General, a youth leader, a Special Citizen and 2019 August meeting women coordinator.

Meanwhile, 3 LGAs namely Owerri Municipal, Orlu and Okigwe had been selected as pilot scheme LGAs that will send representatives from Community levels to undertake the community charter demand Budgeting.

Ag. Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Budget Rev. Reginald Udeh and the Executive Director Hope Givers Initiative Mrs. Onyeka Udegbulam all corroborated the Stakeholders Forum as worthwhile programmes, asserting that all is set for a successful event.

The statement therefore enjoined Ndi Imo to appreciate Governor Ihedioha for His commitment towards giving the people of the state a Budget that is going to be Citizens driven to achieving Rebuild Imo project.

According to Director of Budget Mr. Victor Godson Okereke, Participatory or Open Budget System is a better budgeting concept than the earlier Executive or Ministerial System of budgeting which lacked Citizen input thereby^ making executive impose projects on political reasons whether deserved or not by the Community.

The Imo State Government on Wednesday made good its promise to fully revive the rubber estate at Obitti Community in Ohaji Local Government Area of the state when the committee on Imo Rubber Estates Limited parleyed with landlords and stakeholder’s of the largest rubber estate in the state.

Dr. Ray Opara, Chairman of the committee who led Imo Commissioner of police (CP) his team and other members of the committee to the host communities where hostilities by youths had stalled production activities for years before the intervention of the rubber committee instituted by Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Opara said the committee was on assignment to resuscitate, investigate the environmental and human damage caused by past administration and the operations of the aggrieved youths and landlords who frowned against neglect by past administration.

He said,” Our governor Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has given us the mandate to resolve the long protracted problems in the rubber plantation. The governor brought us together to ensure this investment is resuscitated to the benefit of Obiti people.”

The Chairman who seized the platform to solicited corporation and support of the people assured them that Imo Government will revalidate staff list and add more staffers.

He averred that Gov Ihedioha has a different approach to governance, charging stakeholders and youths to reason among themselves and present the committee with names of their children ready to work for possible employment.

According to him, “Give us your utmost corporation today and we will revalidate the staff list and ensure your children are carried along in the sphere of things in the rubber plantation. Whatever the problem is that has kept that place moribund, will be resolved. We are aware of the agreement you have had before with past government but ours will be different and you will benefit first”

Opara who raised eyebrows over the rate at which rubber trees were being cut down by the people enjoined them to desist from such act because the establishment was for their interest.

The Chairman who was so impressed with the community overwhelming reception during the visit out of his personal purse offered a monetary award in form of scholarships worth N400 thousand to secondary school pupils whose parents are land owners in Obiti community.

He said,” through my foundation, Chibuzor Foundation, the scholarship will be given to pupils who performed excellently particularly those who took first position from JSS1-SSS3 in the coming examination.

The Traditional Ruler of Obiti community, HRH Rze Emmanuel Odunze, in his welcome address commended Governor Ihedioha for remembering his community and for deeming it fit to resuscitate a company that had gone moribund for several years.

He assured the members of the committee that if Obiti Community gets what is due to it, as promised by the government that his people will surely cooperate with government of Gov Ihedioha.

You are the only Ignoramus on this thread. I appealed and showed you reasons you should not support Rochas 2nd term bid in 2015 since you have been ranting this crap since his 1st tenure. I told you if don't like Rochas approach to governance then don't support his 2nd term bid but refused on the basis that Orlu should still be in power and that you believe that Rochas would do better. Now you are still ranting the same nonsense after all the many projects and infrastructures that Rochas did for Orlu zone. The zone that should complain of neglect during Rochas tenure is Okigwe zone not Orlu zone that Rochas gave many appointments and projects.

kikake:
If a gov proposed a project in any location, appropriated money for the project, but the project was not executed....

It's only ignoramuses who won't ask questions.

Because the ignoramuses don't see Orlu part of their state as deserving of govt attention, but they would criticize federal government of Buhari for negligence of their region.

You have turned this thread into a HIGHLY EDUCATIVE Igbo seminar and conference. Most of us are reading diligently and interestingly your educative and expository lectures on Igbo affairs.

pazienza:
Nope. Those are excuses used to justify the original sin, which is "being Igbo".

Are the Yorubas subtle? They live flamboyant lifestyle, throw Owambe up and down, wear the best clothes even with empty bank accounts. They are loudmouthed and boastful too. They tell whoever that care to listen How they are the most sophisticated group in Nigeria, how they lead in Education, entertainment, etc. How they produced many firsts in Nigeria, how they built first TV station, first tallest building, etc. I have heard it all from them.
It was on this forum we were all told and insulted on daily basis about how the entire Osun IGR is supposedly bigger than those of the entire SE, until the recession came, and they couldn't pay salaries, only then did the loud mouthed ones crawl into their caves.

What about the Hausa-Fulani. They threatened fire and brimstone, should power not return to the North. On daily basis, they made inflammatory statements.
They told their Yoruba partners how they should forget Kwara, should they attempt to go for independence from Nigeria, they went to news media and told the Yorubas How they conquered and converted their pagan clans to Muslims in Ilorin and continue to rule Ilorin today, how is that for subtlety?
Buhari threatened baboon and Monkey getting soaked in blood should he lose the election in 2011,how is that for subtlety?
The current emir of Kano, had the temerity to openly tell the Yorubas that they are the trouble with Nigeria. How is that for subtlety? Yorubas didn't do anything about it. Imaginre if it were Ndiigbo that made that statement, what the rest of Nigerians would say.

None of those groups are subtle, don't let them "psycho bully" you into accepting that Ndiigbo are overdoing things more than they themselves are.
PoliticsRe: . by RareDiamonds: 4:16pm On Oct 05, 2018
The way you intelligently articulate your views on Igbo issues with valid supporting examples, facts and incidences; leaves me wondering if you have Masters or PhD in Igbo Studies. It is surprising that you have a Pan Igbo world view and you are a promoter of Igbo unity and renaissance. This indicate that your opinion on Pan Igbo issues should be taken seriously.

What is funny is that you come from Anambra State where the two unreasonable anti Igbo urchins we have on this and other Igbo threads pretend to come from. Thumbs Up and Keep Up the Good Work !!!!

pazienza:
In a 2005 Igbo Day keynote speech titled, The Primacy of Political or Economic power: The Igbo Dilemma, Professor Anya O. Anya noted that:

“There is an inherent paradox and contradiction in the lgboman's place in Nigeria. On the one hand given his industry, his intelligence and his enterprise, the Igboman is a desirable gift to Nigeria and the stuff of which great nations and great civilizations can be built. On the other hand, given his presumptive confidence in his abilities and his unabashed hunger to succeed at whatever cost, he engenders fear and unwelcome visibility amongst his compatriots. His lack of subtlety, his drive to overcome and his insatiable "greed" for material progress engenders resentment and often inexplicable, and perhaps, undeserved hostility in the host communities. His "loud" style of Life and the facility with which he can adapt to and adopt new ways can also be unsettling to foreign cultural formations that have come in contact with the lgbo including the colonial masters. There is thus an underlying sense of conflict in the lgbo presence in Nigeria.”

Golden Guinea Breweries set to re-enter beer market
July 04, 2018

Golden Guinea Breweries has announced it would make its re-entry into the nation’s beer market next month. According to a report by BusinessDay, the Umuahia-based brewer is nearing the completion of a major overhaul and upgrade of its production facilities following a fire outbreak in 2003 that led to the closure of the brewing company.

The company said its new equipment has an installed capacity of 48,000 bottles per hour, which represents 1.15 million bottles per day, twice the installed capacity of the old equipment which produced 24,000 bottles per hour and more than double what its competitors at Nigerian Breweries’ Ama, Enugu plant and International Breweries Onitsha brewery produces.

Pan Marine investments Limited, the core investor in Golden Guinea Breweries Plc said the company’s share trade at the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) will resume in the near future once its operations gets off the ground.

The company’s minders revealed that the firm’s products will not be limited to the Eastern states, but across the country.

“Our distribution is not going to focus only on the Eastern States but will be distributing our drinks across Nigeria. We must ensure our drinks are in Lagos and other states in the West, North and Southern Nigeria, while also consolidating our premier position in the East,” a representative of Pan Marine Investments Limited said.

In terms of the ongoing retooling of the company’s facilities, the core investor said it has installed new fermenting equipment, Bright Beer tank (BBT) units, new boilers, C02 equipment, mash filter units, grain handling equipment, weighing scale, hammer mill, roller mill, polisher receiving scale and silos.

The result is that from distribution networks to support services, there is new lease of life. Everyone from suppliers to contractors, engineers, plumbers, accountants and even food sellers feel the good times are back.

“If you know Umuahia, you will understand what I am telling you. Golden Guinea is not just a company; it is the pride of the people of Umuahia, nay Abia State. It has been closed down for about 13 years and we are very happy that in a very short while, it will resume production,” said a commercial driver named Obi to a BusinessDay reporter.

“We can’t wait to drink ‘Oyoyo mmi’ which is an Igbo name the beer brand is known for”.

The core investor promised to engage up to 10,000 direct and indirect staff, majority of which will be sourced locally, thereby creating positive impact on Nigeria’s labour market.

“The good thing is that this is a private sector-led enterprise”.

The investor revealed it is also installing its own independent power supply.

“Despite dedicated power line, we are also constructing independent power to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the brewery,” the firm said.

Golden Guinea Breweries first commenced business in 1963, following the independence of Nigeria. At the time, it was called Independence Breweries Limited. It had an initial installed capacity of 1 million gallons. The company introduced Eagle Stout in 1967 but was interrupted by the breakout of the Nigerian civil War between 1967 and 1970.

The company changed its name in 1971 to Golden Guinea Breweries following the end of the civil war. In 1975, it underwent a major retooling, adding extensions. The company’s products also expanded to include Golden Guinea Lager, Bergedorf Premium Lager and Bergedorf Malta, all under licensing from Holsten Brauerei AG of Hamburg, Germany.

Golden Guinea Breweries suffered a fire outbreak in 2003 leading to a closure of the plant. Successive governments in Abia State set in motion the ground for its eventual resuscitation.

Waltersmith Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited thursday disclosed that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Peiyang Chemical Equiment Company Limited of Tianjin, China to build a new Refinery at its it Imo State facility.

This deal is expected to increase Waltersmith’s daily refining capacity to 30,000 barrels of oil per day.

The company which had commenced construction of its 5,000 barrel per day (bpd) modular refinery said the new agreement with the Chinese firm would build a new refinery and support its goal of producing petrol, aviation fuel and other by-products at the facility.

Commenting on the partnership, the Chairman/Chief Executive officer Waltersmith Refining and Petrochemical Company, Mr. Abdulrazaq Isa said: “The MoU is about expanding the capacity of our modular refinery which is currently under construction by 25,000 bpd to produce other products beyond what the modular refinery is capable of doing meaning we can now produce premium motor spirit (PMS) and aviation fuel.

“This MoU is basically to undertake the project development work which would entail a feasibility study of the proposed expansion of to 25,000bpd. Then we would proceed to do the detailed engineering design for the expanded facility and some other associated studies.

“We would work jointly with the Chinese to obtain the regulatory approval for the proposed capacity. Once that is done, we can now close the financing and then go into construction.”

Furthermore, he added: “We believe that by the time we conclude the development, we would now become a full-blown refinery.”

Also, on what the Chinese firm is bringing to the table, Isa said: “They have the technology and will be involved in project debt financing, turnkey construction and operation of the plant. But it is ultimately going to be 100perecnt owned by Waltersmith and it co-venturers.

“The new facility is going to be 25,000bpd, taking our total capacity to 30,000bpd.”

The only important thing to note is that the Owerri you will meet next time you visit will be much more impressive. Not because of the efforts of the government but the will of the people to live in a developed region.

He opened this account when I reacted to him telling him of his true person, OMOJIE of 2010/2011 from Edo state, who was arguing with the original OGBUEFI from Igbodo, ika, delta state over the origin of Delta-Igbo. He assumed that Ogbuefi is from Anambra state claiming Ika to distort the bini version of ika origin. I've used complete 5yrs to study Chino here, he's neither Igbo nor Yoruba, he is a bini man that married an Anambra lady. It was after the inccidence with Ogbuefi that he created the Chino account claiming Anambra to distort Igbo unity. It was when i dont know him as of 2011, 2012 and 2013 that i used to engage him.

MADUMERE’S IMPEACHMENT; IMO LAWMAKERS DARE JUDICIARY, IGNORE COURT RULING *Orders Clerk To Issue Notice To Dep Gov Through Publication

Posted by admin on Jul 16th, 2018.

By Onyinyechi Amakaulo

In a bid to properly execute their plans, the Rt Hon Acho Ihim led Members of the Imo State House of Assembly surprisingly returned to the chambers for what they tagged Special Sitting, on Monday.

Our correspondent who was at the complex and monitored proceedings during the emergency Plenary Session discovered that the lawmakers not only ignored the court order against their continued execution of the Impeachment of the Deputy Governor, but also kept mute about the ruling of the Abuja High Court.

It would be recalled that angered by what is going on in the Assembly complex where five lawmakers have been suspended and there is a serious push to remove the Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere, a citizen of the state went to court in Abuja to challenge the action of the lawmakers.

The action of the lawmakers was on the move until an Abuja High Court intervened and acted on a Motion ex-parte filed on 03/07/2018 by one Stanley Okwara seeking an Order of the Court restraining the Speaker, and the Chief Judge from initiating and exercising any action with a view to removing the governor or the Deputy Governor of Imo State without the suspended four lawmakers.

Using 16 paragraphs affidavit to support his claims, the trial judge who said that while he is cautioned not to take orders sought in the motion ex-parte so as not to “frustrate the smooth running of the Imo State House of Assembly or restraining the Honourable Chief Judge of Imo State from exercising his constitutional duties” the prayers were granted and applicant to serve the processes in the suit 1st to 6th (including the Speaker and Chief Judge) through substituted means.

The judge also ruled that parties maintain the Status Quo pending the hearing of the Motion on Notice so as not to destroy the res in the motion of notice.

The case was adjourned to November 27, 2018 for Hearing.

Trumpeta noticed on the floor of the House that the Majority Leader, Hon Lugard Osuji representing Owerri Municipal moved a motion citing Section 188 /7of the Nigeria Constitution as amended stating the process to carry out impeachment processes.

The House further states that the constitution will help them do the needful.

The Speaker further instructed the Clerk of the House to do a newspaper publications both in state and national levels as well as radio announcements and pest copy of the letter in the office of the Deputy Governor to avoid not complying with the authority of the House.

Speaker lhim also informed the Chief Judge of the State to carry out his investigation based on the committee set up early.

The house do adjourned to 28th of July 2018. This newspaper noticed that while proceedings were on, on mention was made about the Court Case.

Meanwhile, in a statement, a group has decried the action of the House. The statement reads; “The Imo State All Progressives Congress (APC) Stakeholders Forum wishes to thank the good people of Imo state for their resilience and steadfastness in standing up to the latest of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s perfidy against our collective integrity. The Forum salutes every well meaning citizen of the state who, through one medium or the other, has stood behind it in the fight against the governor’s plan to turn the state into a jungle of irrationality and brigandage, the latest of which is the planned impeachment of the deputy governor of the state, His Excellency, Prince Eze Madumere.

“The Forum wishes to assure the good people of the state that it will not relent in its efforts at ensuring that Governor Okorocha does not succeed in his grand plan to remain in office after serving his constitutionally permissible eight years, by imposing a member of his family, Mr. Uche Nwosu, on the state as the next governor.

“As the peace loving and law-abiding people of the state must have learnt, a court of competent jurisdiction has halted the planned impeachment of Prince Eze Madumere, pending the outcome of a motion on notice by a concerned citizen of the state; and that the hearing of the motion has been fixed for November 28, 2018. The court, an Abuja federal high court, also gave an order that the status quo remains pending the determination of the case.

“The Forum, however, has it on good authority that His Excellency, Governor Rochas Okorocha has directed the leadership of the Imo State House of Assembly to ignore the court order and proceed with the impeachment process. According to information from government circles, the governor assured the legislators that he is in a position to shield them from getting punished for disobeying the court order”.

An estimated 10,000 applications was received less than 24 hours by Innoson Vehicle Manufacturers (IVM) following an announcement by the local assembler to employ 3000 Nigerians by the end of the year.
The astronomical surge in the number of applications received by the local auto maker forced the management to abruptly shut down the job recruitment exercise official website which was supposed to be open to prospective job seekers till April 6, 2018.
Innoson had in a statement on its official Twitter handle last Monday said the board of directors of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited approved the recruitment exercise as it plans the expansion of its factory in Nnewi, the second largest city in Anambra state.
Cornel Osigwe, Head Corporate Communications, Innoson group, said during a telephone chat with BusinessDay on Tuesday disclosed that that the first batch of new intake will see the employment of 1007 workers in April 2018.
The company listed positions needed as follows welding engineers, automotive painters, plasterers and auto electricians. Other job vacancies exist for mechanical engineers, administration, account and public relations and quality control officers including marketing executives.
According to the image maker of Innoson group, in order to contribute towards the success of Nigeria’s automotive industrial development agenda, the company has also acquired 100,000 square meters of land on the outskirts of Owerri, the Imo State capital near the airport.
He stated that as part of it expansion drive which will facilitate the creation of thousands of skilled and unskilled jobs in the state and its environs, the Innoson auto assembly plant in Owerri will have the capacity to assemble 60,000 vehicles a year.

In an email sent to our reporter on Tuesday, Luqman Mamudu, retired director in charge of policy and planning said that the automotive policy was designed to anticipate such expansion and a program for support is inbuilt in the relationship between NADDC and BOI.
According to him, “There is no better evidence than this that the Nigerian automotive program is working. Innoson has enjoyed considerable patronage as it continuously improves on quality. This employment is one of the automotive program objectives. The good thing is that innoson operates at the CKD level. Others plants are poised to follow. The industry will experience upsurge in demand by the time the automotive credit purchase scheme is realized.’’
Recall that early this year, the Nigerian Army went into partnership with IVM to conceptualize, design, modify and produce armoured fighting vehicles and other military hardware.
At a meeting between Tukur Buratai, the chief of army staff, and Innocent Chukwuma, chairman and chief executive of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company Limited, the army chief said that the essence of the meeting was to further formalize the business relationship between the Nigerian Army and IVM. The Army acquired over 70 more variants of the Innoson vehicles which were deployed in the North East for Operation Lafiya Dole.
Other specific areas of partnership between the Nigerian Army and the company include; immediate supply 100 vehicles, supply of appropriate gears, engines and chassis required for immediate modifications and repairs of armoured fighting vehicles in the North East Theatre of Operations.
In 2016, Innoson signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigerian Air Force for the development and promotion of joint activities to sustain the maintenance of the Nigerian Air Force Air Assets and other associated Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) to enable the Nigerian Air Force to continuously carry out its constitutional obligations to the nation.

PoliticsRe: Shocking Truth! The Hatred Against Ebonyians By The Igbos Should Stop(MUST READ) by RareDiamonds: 5:57pm On Jun 21, 2018
Nobody hates Ndi Ebonyi. The shameful rants and actions of few m0rons in Igboland SHOULD NEVER BE INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT THE GREAT IGBO NATION HATES EBONYI WHOSE PEOPLE AND LAND ARE BLESSED BY GOD. These mor0n are in every tribe. The Yorubas view the Ekitis, Ijebus, Ilajes and Egun in a very bad light, see them as inferior and have low regards for them. The Hausas consider some hausa states as Hausa Banza which means bastard hausa states even the Fulanis consider some of themselves as inferior and servants.

****Renaming Of Abakaliki Street In Anambra, A Slap On Every Ebonyian***

Since the creation of Ebonyi state in 1996, Ebonyians have always been marginalised and hated. You may ask by who?

It is not by the Yorubas, Fulanis or Hausa!! Truth must be told!! It is still the same Igbos like us that always see Ebonyians as illiterates.

It is very heartbreaking, devastating and shocking that an Anambra man who ought to see an Ebonyian as his brother, will turn around to call him 'Onye Wawa'.

The day I got the shock of my life was the day my friend who is from Enugu told me not to tell people that I am from Ebonyi state. I asked him, 'Why' ? He told me that they see Ebonyians as fools and illiterates. He equally told me that I do not behave like someone who is from Ebonyi state, so I should deny the state of my origin, just to please him and his people. I ignored him because in life, I have learnt not displease myself to please another person! Secondly, am proud to be an Ebonyian and can't deny it for any reason!

Yes!

Why should I not be given a job just because am from Ebonyi? Not because am not qualified!

The questions remain, why should the Igbos who want a sovereign state of Biafra still hate one another?

Why should we Igbos be talking about Biafra when we don't love ourselves?

Why should we Igbos be talking about Marginalisation, when we marginalise ourselves?

The renaming of a street in Anambra by Governor Willie Obiano shows that there is no love, unity, peace among the Igbos. It is an act every Igbo man should condemn just like Umahi did. It is a slap on our face.

We know you guys hate us but that does not mean you should treat us the way and manner you like.

Ebonyians are wiser now, we are educated, we are hard working, we are farmers and cannot  be intimidated any longer by those we see as our brothers and sisters.

Until we Igbos, eschew the hatred among ourselves and see ourselves as brothers and sisters despite our state of origin, we cannot thrive or get what we want!!

Awolowo who you respect is an ex convict, a tribal bigot and a treason offender who committed suicide with rat poison. He is unfit to be mentioned as leader talkless of legend. Ojukwu was given a befitting and very honorable burial while your Awolowo was put inside the ground without any honour.
