...lmo river is just along rivers and Akwa Ibom boundary

notobs:
Akpabio commissions the Phase 1 of Uyo - Ikot Ekpene - Aba road, which was initiated by his administration and is constructed by Julius berger. the next phase of the project which is still ongoing will take the road all the way to Aba in Abia State.

It is Note worthy that this was a Federal Road that the state government had to intervene because it was bad for several decades and the FG did nothing about it.

where will it end in Abia state?

Super1Star:
Obviously SS is confused?

Which part of SS is pro-ND and which part is pro-Biafrau-d?

it seem that you guys are desperate to know who and who are who in the eastern region...well i am sure that ikwereboy is not from ikwere or may be the few who which all the Igbos die.

@EUROBOMBER ~The shortest and most cost effect way of getting (to sea)/ a sea port is through Abia state...pls try to get a map of Abia and rivers state look at azumili river in ukwa west you will notice that it could have a viable sea port or through river cross(enyium) Ebonyi state


**objective***

1_To dredge and create artificial lake in azumili which is has low population density and large unhabitable land (mostly swampy hence no much Agricultural use )

2_ To have the shortest possible path towards the sea with minimal financial input and its closeness to a city


**constraints***

1_ The first obstacle is Federal Govt: how will the FG view the project...will it be seen as act of treason...

2_ The second is rivers state govt

3_The financial factor

Hahaha OP... can ikwere live peaceful with the ibibio,efik,oron,ijaw etc. Keep fermenting you hatred against the Igbos

eaglechild:
Please can you state some of the logical reasons.

You must be thinking that am defending the egocentric old man TA Orji and his incompetency?...

eaglechild:
Your post is annoying and insensitive.

Are you trying to say that they should wait for 1 year before complaining.
How do you expect them to cater for their families without salary for 3 months. Even if you are still in secondary school you should be able to understand that.

What economic situation is one considering when states like Enugu, Anambra and Ebonyi with much lower allocations have managed to pay their staff and execute more projects.

How can a state with an IGR treasure like Aba, oil producing communities (13%derivation, NDDC) be owing salaries.

Abia state has an extremely irresponsible government.

My choice of words might be wrong but i still don't see the reason for these hype...the governor has already pleaded and gave logical reasons for them to exercise some patience...though i don't work in ASBUTH and am not proud of the debt but it will be the height of irresponsibility if they embark on an indefinite strike

Opinedecandid:
Akwa Ibom is not owing salaries of workers or pensioners.
Why haven't the report stated in clear terms the number of months owed by Akwa Ibom Govt.
My mum is a pensioner, she has collected her April pension!

That's what i try to let people know...if a Nigerian worker is owed a month salary he/she will always hype it to look as if his forever salary have not been paid

This labour force self...yea Abia owes the workers in ABSUTH but it is not more than three months...The primary and secondary school teachers have got at least their march salaries. Those in Abia state civil service have been paid their April salaries...I see no reason for strick considering our economic situation now...maybe the ABSUTH could jst give a 1wk warning strick

asha80:
do you know about any steel rolling mill ouk is supposedly building in igbere?

Yea, but i don't know the progress of the project yet...maybe when i visit igbere by June/July i can come up with pictures and comments

emmatok:
What EAST?
if you take all the industries in Ogun to the east you won't have land to build anything else.

Largest numbers of Universities in Nigeria -Ogun
Largest numbers of Religious camp grounds-Ogun
Power plants -Ogun
Largest Cement producing State in Nigeria-Ogun.
Industrial estates and industries -Ogun
Agro industries-Ogun
Property and Estates development -Ogun

With all these Ogun state still has lots of Forestry and unused land.
Ogun is a very big state.

hahaha ok... there is nothing you will listen to or believe but i will encourage you to visit Aba or ask any of your Yoruba friend who must have been there perhaps he could help...

it is laughable how you say all industries in ogun will fill the whole east . should i should take it as a joke or what?

coreseam:
1. No right thinking company will come to an unfriendly environment for business. He did well and thats why the investors are trooping there for the opportunities available.

2. good if it exist other places. but dont run down the achievements of someone else just because you want yours elevated.

I was telling you that east has most those you mentioned already...then tell me what makes the place unfriendly

coreseam:
this is the kind of news that should be making front page not dumb information like Toto duke exposes boobs or wiz kids snaps pictures abi ice prince make up while on set.
kudos to SIA I hope the development continues even after her leaves office just like BRF continued from where BAT speed in Lagos.

Lastly my brothers from the east and North also needs this kinds of development from their governors.

It creates balance in the demography of the country.

Good bless Nigeria

Note

1 what ever you see there is not built by govt but private companies

2: which east are you talking about? because you saw these that means no other area has such?

proudlyhandsome:
Nice one for South West. East need something like this so as to have uniform industrialisation and absorb all their unemployed youths(that would stop thousands of them from running to SW). North need more agro companies but dis bombing is quite scary...

the east(abia state) has the steel fabrication yard equivalent to that side in ogun, though still under construction

Feeding alone

Average family=1500-3000

average single female=500-1000

average single male=5000-10000(mostly on beer and outing)

My dear friend i had promised myself that i wouldn't comment on any Nigerian political conversations but with recent events i think it worthy to discuss some issues which will be of mutual benefit... i think you are on the right path THUMB UP

halix239:
lol rants of sore losers, y'all are cowards, there's nothing u can do, u can only rant as expected, the might of the north can not be stood against by any 4king region. u only boast of ur tiny millitants that only blow up pipelines affecting u only, nothing, nothing else u can burst of. for the record we re not cursed, we ve rich lands that brings in splendid plantations of diff crops where as oyo be wuna second name.

these were the kind of words i heard from a Fulani herdsman who conspicuously looked haggard due to long term trekking but boasted how rich their land or whatever were... perhaps you should get out of your umbrella of "you no fit do anything" and face the reality that you are not better off

MCMLXXVI:
So, you're saying those rants you made less than a year ago are now stale?
Eyaaah. Shebi because una don lose election? Now Igbo people don turn to your brothers. They same people you openly said yourself are not your brothers less than a year ago?
Any Igbo person who would even call an Ijaw vagabond a brother, is a fool.
See all the vitriol you were spewing last year over Igbo people wey don leave una matter tey tey, meanwhile abokii was busy cornering your land and oil wells. Now, dem don legitimize am sef. Yet, na Igbo people be your problem.
You're definitely right that we are not brothers. Such dullness does not run in our blood.
What goes around really comes around. Lazy criminals who profited from the "abandoned property" saga by looting and taking over buildings and properties their ancestors never would have been able to afford even if they worked 65 shifts a day. Now, abokii don convert una oil to "national property", although the environmental pollution and lung cancer na only "Ijaw property".
Una go hear am for this one Nigeria
E remain make dem even convert daughters and mothers to national property too. E neva start

you shouldn't say such pls... i think perspectives changes over time perhaps he have changed his mind

some one could bring up a story and try as much as possible to destruct some facts so that he could get to his desired result... @ superstar1 pls bring on what ever argument you made in bits so that we discourse on it...do not just select some words from someone's literary work and term it history (drop a note i could be very busy 2moa

superstar1:
Had...They were his people unlike other Midwestern tribes’ sufferings he could not find “credible corroboration of.”

well every statement can be interpreted in many ways hence yours can be conveniently viewed as antibiafra...you calling someone a chest beater is perhaps also greater chest beater as can be notice in your write up where u praise the Nigeria side, vilified the Biafrans &also the writer of the book you made reference to

sebali:
Revoking such useless contracts is an indication d administration wud succeed

perhaps that's the best way to failure in Nigeria were sentiment rules...

Bluetooth2:
Tell your people to stop drumming for WAR !

i don't support violence neither are they drumming for war...all buhari should focus on now is how to succeed in his administration not how to create new enemy

slimmy05:
you mean like Buhari did with boko haram to GEJ's administration?

It will be quit different

Bluetooth2:
The Niger Delta will only be militarized and nothing more. You know what happens after such venture.

And would you want that to happen in Buhari administration

Bluetooth2:
All y'all do is make noise, threaten and in the end, nothing comes out except bombing pipelines which will in turn spill and destroy your waters and land till you come asking for compensation.

What did Tompolo do when Yardua ordered the Army to invade and burn down Gbaramutu ?

Nothing except coming to Abuja and accept Amnesty !

no problem lets put it this way,Buhari wants to test Generality...i want it to end but not now, let him (buhari) lay a viable investment in these region first then he can remove it to all i care

asha80:
No be today we begin hear such promises

Lol the man just dey talk like T.A Orji...

pls do you stay in Abia?

HAVING emerged victorious in a race adjudged as one of the hottest governorship contests in Nigeria’s recent history, expectations are that Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the victorious candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP would not circumvent the key promises that earned him victory. By Charles Kumolu Ikpeazu’s determination to get down to the business of governing the state was given by his decision to ban his supporters and well- wishers from courtesy calls and congratulatory visits, on the account that he needed time to plan for the enormity of the task ahead. ‘’Because of the enormity of the task ahead, I require all the time I can get to plan to ensure that I justify the enormous confidence you have all reposed in me. After I have been sworn-in and after I have made appreciable impact. I will feel worthy to accept your congratulation and commendation visits. For now, I call on all of you to uphold me and those who will work with me in your prayers for wisdom from above to take the right steps. It is my solemn pledge that on my watch, Abia State shall be a state you will all be proud of,’’ he stated. In an obvious departure from some practices peculiar to elected public office holders in the country, he also made known his decision not to be addressed as “His Excellency.” Infrastructural recovery of Aba These decisions, it was gathered came from the desire to stay focused on his dreams for Abia which include, security, infrastructural recovery of Aba, education, agriculture, integrated structural economic transformation, employment among others. With a realisation that the economic survival of the state particularly at this time of national economic crunch, may depend on the functionality of the commercial city of Aba, it was also learnt that plans have been concluded to commence the fixing of the city immediately Ikpeazu assumes power. Apparently, Ikpeazu wants to hit the ground running. He wants to promote the city’s status as a commercial hub and upgrade the existing 14 major markets in the state up to modern standards. In fact, the governor-elect has not hidden his determination to make the Aba project the major focus of the new administration. Ikpeazu also plans to set up an agency for rural roads as well as Abia Marketing Corporation that would help buy excess farm produce as part of the initiatives to encourage agriculture. Relatively moderate cabinet Okezie Ikpeazu These, he hinted, would alongside other measures create employment opportunities for the teeming youths in the state. Another aspect of the incoming Okezie administration that seems to excite observers, is the reported plans to cut down the overhead cost of governance by keeping a relatively moderate cabinet. In this regard, the search for technocrats to man 10 key ministries is ongoing. On a larger scale, the economic agenda seeks to focus on areas that would create optimal impact with the resources available at his disposal. It is expected that this would deliver economic growth, gainful jobs, income among others. Ikpeazu also intends to place high premium on agriculture by maximising the state’s agricultural potentialities and focusing on major cash and food crops. The strength of Abia On education, he intends creating an enabling environment that would ensure the restructuring of the education curricula for primary, secondary and state-owned tertiary institutions. Commenting on this at a recent forum, the incoming governor said, ‘’we believe that the strength of Abia lies in her people. As such, the transformation of the education sector in Abia will involve both the public and private institutions. We will develop an all-inclusive master plan to drive development and progress within the sector. This master plan will incorporate restructuring the education curricula for primary, secondary and state- owned tertiary institutions to ensure our children and youths are empowered with sound knowledge and technical skills required to survive and add value in the ever-evolving labour market.’'... http://news.bestnaira.com/posts/view/abia-ikpeazu-holds-on-to-his-bold-ideas

"APC sons with their usual pointing of accusing finger"
@op Am sure some of your comrade in change will be ashamed with this
By the way OP what's your occupation?

mulattoclaro:
Gowon should have wiped them out. If he had Nigeria would have been free from these red cap thieves, noise makers and these people who give Nigeria a bad name.

he tried that but couldn't succeed...Biafra lost because of the civilian especially children but head to head loss on the forces side was not encouraging

I once saw an old article that said "the Biafran have been wiped" then i look at the number of people who are of Biafran extraction now and i wondered whether there were really such casualty as people paint it to be(note: most people in this part practice monogamy)
