Buhari and Tinubu are really good men. Obi or OBJ would not have done anything in the SE if they were president and there were constantly bombarded the way you guys have been bombarding Buhari and Tinubu. Buhari delivered the Second Niger Bridge regardless and now Tinubu is giving you guys SEDC among other things but guess what. He's still the favorite thing for a SE'sterner to hate.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been commended for continuing the reconstruction of the road that linked Abia State with Imo State, including the component bridge that was destroyed during the civil war.

Hon, Sam Onuigbo made the commendation on Sunday in a press conference in Umuahia following “positive reports” he received on the state of works on the federal road linking Abia to Imo and the one linking it to Akwa Ibom State.


The Ubakala-Umunwanwa-Udo Adobi-Achingalli Road has been in a state of disrepair since the civil war ended in 1970.

With the destroyed bridge left unattended to, it has been a herculean task to access Imo State from the south-eastern end of Umuahia South Local Government.

But Onuigbo said that he was happy that things were changing for better as the progress of work on the road was satisfactory while a section of the bridge has been completed.


He said: “Electioneering has come and gone and this (Tinubu) administration should be commended for maintaining admirable momentum to complete the road projects awarded by the last administration.

Onuigbo stated that the interstate road was very strategic it would reduce the journey from Umuahia to Imo Airport to less than an hour.

The former federal lawmaker, who represented Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, noted that the road project was inherited by the Tinubu’s administration from former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.


According to him, it was heartwarming that the link road with Imo was not abandoned by the new administration, just as it has also sustained work on Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Road linking Abia State and Akwa Ibom State.

On the skill acquisition centre at Ubakala and the federal secretariat projects that he championed as a federal lawmaker, Onuigbo noted that the skill centre has reached 85 percent completion.

He stated that work on the federal secretariat project, which had been eluding Abia for over three decades, would soon start as land has been secured within the state’s capital territory.


The two-term federal lawmaker hinged his optimism on the fact that the present Abia State Governor, Mr.Alex Otti, unlike his predecessor, has “shown willingness” to cooperate with the federal government to realise the project.

Onuigbo, who represented the South-east on the board of the North East Development Commission (NEDC), said that the agency is working hard to achieve its mandate.

He said that the North-east, which constituted one-third of Nigeria’s land mass, was devastated by insurgency, adding that a master plan has been adopted to rebuild the zone, comprising Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe States.


The NEDC’s board member explained that the benefits of the interventionist activities of NEDC would not be enjoyed by only the indigenes of the six states that make up the North-east zone but all Nigerians resident in the area.

He said: “Devastation of North-east was not selective. Other Nigerians living in the area were also affected,” adding that whatever the NEDC was doing to rebuild the zone is for the benefit of all Nigerians.

IkeOnyia:
For many years, there has been clamour for the reactivation of ports in other parts of the country especially the south south region in order to relieve the congested ports in Lagos state. Some have accused omo yorubas of delebrately stiffling the growth of other ports so that Lagos remains the primary port of call in the country. But is this allegation true?

For two reasons, I argue that it is not.

First, geography. A look at the map of Nigeria and Africa indeed shows that Lagos is strategically located at the closest point to the European and American shipping routes ie, it is the very first port in Nigeria that ships coming from these two continents can reach. It is not rocket science then to expect ships to offload their cargoes in Lagos instead of incurring extra costs for additional nautical miles to other downstream ports in the country. Besides, the vast majority of their clients are also in the Lagos area.

Second, the insecurity and other "cultural" factors in the Niger delta.

It won't son.apc will get 25% in ibaji.igalas are not the only tribe here

helinues:
2/3 is entire different from 25% as claimed by the op

helinues:
Just like Champions league group stage, with 10 points you are good to go. State elections is almost same as long as you can secure the highest votes. You can't without having over 25% in most LG.

TundeBricklayer:
I saw a thread some APC supporters are claiming Ebonyi state have best infastructures in Southeast, some ignorant minds will come on social media and typing nonsense how can you compare Anambra that's second urbanized state in Nigeria after Lagos to Ebonyi that only Abakalike the state capital is city in the state, Imagine if other infastructures in Onitsha are were in Awka or vise versa, Awka alone is more viable than Ebonyi state, how can a reasonable person compare Ebonyi to Anambra, go and see the massive industrial layout in Ogbaru the biggest in Southeast, go and see the business park in Onitsha, super high way with flyovers and pedestal bridges, Onitsha and enviro host more than 35 standard markets, good hospitals, best schools, just Onitsha, how can you compare Anambra to Ebonyi if not stupidity that exist here, currently Anambra is developing 4th city in Ekwulobia, while under focus on one city.

Development in Nigeria has to do with population. Look at Akwa Ibom, very fine, rich but no jobs because most of its locals have relocated to Lagos and are putting all their developments there.

If you are a Deltan, you are not based in Delta or you've no single investment in Delta you should not talk about the state.

Many of you will run abroad and to Lagos and be waiting for developments from ghosts.

Do you think what Lagos will what with it today by just government efforts?

BoldBrainz:
Hyacinth issa bastard finally!

Four months now and there's literally nothing tangible he has done in Benue State. But he's jumping on a campaign train to Imo State, meanwhile Babagana Zulum is equally in APC, but you'll hardly find him on jamborees such as this.

Why are Benue people so unlucky with leadership for god's fvcking sake?!

Balanced appointments across communications agencies. The north and the south east got the biggest pies (NCC, NIGCOMSAT and NITDA) while the south west will manage the crumbs (NIPOST and NDPC). We ain’t complaining though.
