Ogidi IS NOT A VILLAGE. It is a TOWN.

A Town Hall is nice but if you ask me what Ogidi needs is the state government to PLAN the very successful Ogidi Building materials Market properly and get in fresh investment in expanding it into a modern wholesale market. The Building Materials Market clearly has outgrown limited parking facilities, toilets, self-power generation, primitive warehouse infrastructure. I would incorporate it and raise capital to build a far larger organized building materials market to serve every single state radio within a three hundred kilometer radius of Anambra. The population in this area is easily over 50 million and at least 10,000 buildings are built every year in this area.

If Ogidi dominated REGIONAL WHOLESALE building materials thats easily a 10-30 billion industry providing lots of jobs for wholesalers, transporters, banks, insurance, telecoms, food, etc.

I agree with your assertion!

If ifeanyi Ubah can channel some of these monies he's wasting on football into more meaningful projects, how about build ICT parks in Nnewi, how about building hospitals for his people. Does this man thinks the world revolve around football? Who are his advisers? what a money miss road. This peoject is just a waste of money and will have zero impact on anyone.. I'm supporting Ifeanyi Ubah to go for senate but if this is part of his campaign as he did for governorship then I may have to support my God father Andy Ubah to continue.. what nonsense

Anambra doesn't use its gas. Anambra doesn't have the biggest crude reserve in Nigeria. Other states also have human capital. Anambra state only has a retail market which many states also have.

You have to do more of rebranding the region to be economically viable for investors.

OMANBALA1:
I wouldn't say deceive but over ambitious. He has the will to do it but lets be honest Anambra do not have the financial strength to tackles all the infrastructural needs of the state. We need to increase taxes, that's the only way out. Our people don't want to pay taxes. There is no way a shop owner in main market should not pay up to 20,000 naira in revenue, monthly. These citizens are robbing the state.

mktinsight:
The report should follow UNDP measures for human development which is health, education, sanitation before adding things like income, employment, comfort. On this scale I seriously doubt Lagos would rank first since it is generally an oasis of wealth in a sea of urban poverty.

For Anambra it needs to sustain the education, healthcare battle while trying to boost employment through infrastructure and investment. It is a small state and while agriculture is nice there needs to be a plan to focus on driving growth in industry, retail and services around the hubs of Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka. There is a correlation between the sophistication of cities and investment and Anambra has to be committed to transforming itself from a primitive wheel barrow and bare concrete trading economy.

I've stayed in the two cities.two years each.Aba is more developed than Onitsha with a large urban land mass may be due to its proximity to Portharcourt.Also as the largest SME concentration in Nigeria.Aba is building an economic industrial city with a free trade zone along the boundary between Rivers and Abia state.

Anambra Govt To Relocate Articulated Trucks From Onitsha Industrial Harbour As Transport Terminal Project Nears Completion

13 JULY 2018



All the articulated trucks that constitute nuisance on roads in the Onitsha Industrial Harbor are to be relocated to a major transport terminal in Onitsha within the next two weeks.

The Commissioner for Road, Rail and Water Transport, Mr. Uchenna Okafor disclosed this when he companied the Chairman of the State Physical Planning Board, to the harbor to assess the situation on ground.
During the visit to the harbor, articulated trucks were seen parked in four lines along the roads in the layout, leaving a very narrow space for moving vehicles.


The Transport Commissioner, Mr. Okafor who described the ugly incident as totally unacceptable, said the layout was well-planned with very wide and strongly-built roads to accommodate the anticipated heavy duty trucks that convey products and raw materials to and from the industries and not to serve as park.



He revealed that the visit was directed by Governor Willie Obiano because of the negative security reports coming as a result of the activities of the truck drivers, adding that government has made plans to relocate all the articulated trucks to the Onitsha Urban Transport Terminal located at Upper Iweka in two weeks time when the Terminal must have been completed.



The Chairman of the State Physical Planning Board, Bar Maduekwe said reorganizing the physical space of the State to reflect that of a well-planned state is a major charge on the Board by the Governor and the incidents around the harbor if unchecked, have the capacity to undermine government's plans to build a secure and environmentally-sustainable state.



Some residents and operators of industries in the harbor including Barr Okey Obikeze, Mr. Oselloka Offor and Mr. Ben Ohia who regretted that eighty percent of the trucks have no business with the industries in the harbour, said their presence have not only led to a spate in crime and criminality but also has very negative health and environmental impact on the people.

They appealed to government to immediately come to their aid and relocate the trucks to once again guarantee them safety and access to their homes and industries, as the trucks most times, block the entrance to their buildings.



The Commissioner and the Physical Planning Board Chairman later proceeded to inspect work on the Onitsha-Enugu Urban Transport Terminal.



At the site, it was observed that the terminal is at about seventy-five percent completion stage, as the entire two hundred by one hundred and eighty meter land space has been fully paved with concrete and a major borehole completed with finishing touches being put on a modern toilet facility at the terminal.



The terminal which is the product of a Memorandum of Understanding between Anambra State Government, Detrazi Group and Urban Transport Terminal Limited signed last year, is expected to have sections for various types of vehicles and will also have a seventy-two room hotel for travellers.

With the floodlight also being installed, the Terminal is also designed to run twenty-four hours, according to the Terminal Manager, Sir Michael Ezeani.

Not to derail the thread any further but you can't say anambra is monolithic when even Onitsha is an anioma town....once anioma state is created Onitsha will be seeded to anioma

globemoney:
Just for a while.. They will get used to it and more people will bring in their buses and cabs.. The Anambra government should provide a city mass transit buses now. This is one the best decisions obiano has taken so far in his administration, next is dualization of roads...

Obdk:
Like i said everything u said here refer to people around the Omanbala area. 90 percent of people in Nnewi have never heard of Omanbala River...not to talk of identifying wit Omanbala



You kno nothing about Anambra..



All you wrote. I wish its true. But reality u re just wishing..
ANAMBRA do not ve same culture. Ihiala I culturally closer to Imo state than Anambra, language wise Ihiala is closer to Imo state. They do no ve the Llll and Rrrr misconceptions

Even here Ojoto is 5 mins from Nnewi but d difference in culture, way of thinking way of life is glaring.

Pls stop misinforming people...

Investnow ,stop that crap you've been posting.
There's a direct attack on Anambra and all you do is posting pictures.
I stay in Onitsha FYI and I saw what happened between Okoda riders and security officers along old road by Nkpor junction precisely today while they were threatening to kill our security guards trying to keep the peace on my way to Awka today. Those eediots even disrupted the traffic.
How and when do we allow these eediots to continue determining what and how our state is run? Did you know how long I had to spend on the road because of these eediots?
Say it the way it is and stop shielding it, you and ANSMEDIA.
