you'll see when the governor leaves office.

The debt will be huge and the next governor won't be able to work without using the internally generated revenue to pay up some of the debts.

If ebonyi was an oil producing state I'll understand where they got the money

The fact still remains that the next governor will have little or no work to do infrastructurally but to face other aspects of government like education /scholarships etc

Umahi has proven that any governor that really wants to work will work without making noise about it.

Also, electing someone who has seen money before entering politics has shown some level of sanity in our political space as exhibited by Gov. Umahi... He is here to make a name and not to loot!

Ebonyi State, within a space of 5 years has really been turned around by this fine Enginer.

I even heard that the ministry of works is directly involved in all the projects (both ongoing and completed) .. This in my thinking will save the state alot of money (unlike the usual style where you give contract to companies and friends and they end up not delivering in quality and time).

For the fact that Umahi drives round the state at least 3 times a week to design, monitor and evaluate these projects himself is quite commendable.

May God bless him for turning the dust of the nation to its true status as the Salt of the Nation.

TO BE A MAN IS TRULY NOT EASY, I SWEAR...

OP, DON'T WORRY GOD WILL PICK YOUR CALL SOON... JUST KEEP YOUR HOPE ALIVE!!!

Isolo Lagos Nigeria

Very sharp.. But the problem is how to send it to the East with this lock down

How much and location please

The center in no doubt, will be very beneficial to Nigerians and foreigners who reside within the state and its environs.

The Chief Medical Director, Dr. Emeka Onwe Ogah praised the governor for the speedy completion of the project.

[/b]Gov Umahi Inspects The 300 Bed Covid 19 Isolation And Treatment Center Being Constructed By Him In Abakaliki.[b]

Realizing the need to always be proactive, the Executive governor of Ebonyi State initiated the construction of a world class Infectious disease complex within the premises of Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching hospital Abakaliki.

The project which commenced a couple of weeks ago is nearing completion and will be put to use in a few days time.

The complex is comprised of:
-Emergency Room
-Intensitive Care Unit
-Treatment ward
-Doctors call rooms and some offices

What I passed through at Enugu /Ebonyi boarder is what I will never like to expirence again, sleeping on the highway at night and watching ur hand and sanitizing u like coro

You mean you slept at the boarder?

Wait ooh!!


What have they been doing since?


Why do we always come late for the party??


This is exhausting

But Buhari said in 2011 that Abacha did not steal any money.

Ok.... Imagine blowing the whistle and getting arrested later... Normal 9ja way nah

Too bad

10billionDollar:
I condemn d government not keeping to their promises, but d doctors shud hv considered d poor masses that will bear d brunt, perhaps this is the time to volunteer their services for the sake of the distressed

Is it not the same poor masses and the distressed that will collect salt and rice during the next election to vote in incompetent people?

Imagine how you will feel if your wife were to be a doctor and she comes back every day after attending to covid-19 patients without PPEs and good salary! Wouldn't you be scared of being infected?

These doctors are humans and they have families too.

Believe you me, if the government had honoured Adedevo after the Ebola incident and mapped out a good package for medical workers, do you think that this challenge won't be over?

ignis:
It takes witchcraft and selfishness for any doctor to strike at this critical moment.

Those guys are paid 145k per month with no hazard allowance and life insurance.

The government promised them an upward review but disappointed them. That is the origin of the strike.

Imagine that you have an only son whom you spent over 5 million naira in training him through medical school, he becomes a doctor after graduation.... Would you be happy to allow him fight covid-19 with that kind of salary coupled with poor working condition knowing fully well that he is at risk of infection?

This is really a difficult situation.

Number 7... Just look at the direction of the Shadows

Let's clap for Seun

This is evil

Nice one my Governor

Praise be to God

Great Guy

Dear Federal Government,

Hope this message meets you well.

There are over 500 post housemanship doctors awaiting their NYSC... Since the program has been cancelled temporarily. They are young, vibrant and currently 'jobless'. There are also over 3,000 nurses who are jobless or receiving close to nothing.

To get these groups is very easy. Get across to their Alma Maters, hospital of internships or schools of nursing, compile their details and reach out to them.

Now negotiate with them responsibly and respectfully. Get them all a short-term contract. Pay them over 400K/month (yes, this is war and we have that money). You don't expect people to go for a COVID-19 suicide mission and negotiate 100k with them or tell them their rewards are in heaven (a common Nigerian employers line for cheap labour).

When you are done with the above, provide them with PPEs and duty meals.

Lastly, keep them on standby. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THEM IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. Kindly do this within the next ten days.

Kind regards,

7. We have had meetings with Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Muslim Community and we have agreed that we shall not shut down religious institutions for now as no case is recorded in South East. They must however observe all the precautions and procedures to protect their members and the general public. God forbid, should it become necessary tomorrow to shut down religious institutions, our government shall be bold enough to do so after meeting with religious leaders.

8. Our Government has declared 7 days fasting and prayer with effect from 25th March, 2020 to 1st April, 2020 6am to 6pm daily. However, there will be no gathering in doing this but CAN and other religious bodies can use our TV and Radio Live telecast to close the prayer daily. Such gathering at the EBBC premises of the religious leaders must not be more than 50 people. This means that we pray in our homes or work place as the case may be. We request all Ebonyians to join our Government and all religious bodies in this State to observe this fasting and prayer as together we seek the face of God for mercy and forgiveness.

20. We must pray and fast but if we do not observe the rules, we will be doing a disservice to ourselves, families and the society. God requires us to be wise in times like this. There is no need to fear as our Government is doing everything possible to protect our people.

21. On the economy, let us stay alive first and we will tackle the economical situation confronting the entire nation.

22. At this juncture, let me commend very highly the President and Commander-in-chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR; the Honourable Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire; the Director-General of Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu; the Presidential Taskforce on Corona Virus headed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Chief Godwin Emiefele and the Lagos State Government for their concerted efforts in containing the scourge of this deadly Covid-19 pandemic in Nigeria.
