What about building an IPP with the oil and gas from Anambra to support constant power availability in Onitsha- Nnewi industrial cluster?

Power is being taking care of read below: Anambra has so much in natural gas resources.

The governor also used the opportunity to announce that Anambra State government had signed on a South African gas exploration company known as Lubcon to work on its newly approved Gas Well ANAMBRA WELL 1, the state’s first gas well that has been proven to hold a large deposit of gas.

According to him, the South African firm will be “producing 100 megawatts of electricity from the gas that will be mined from that well. With this volume of electricity, the power supply needs of this zone and beyond will be met. This will also attract investors from other places who may want to set up their operations here and take advantage of the steady power supply,” he explained.

@highlighted is busy now searching the whole web space for anti-Peter Obi news.

Schematics:
You missed the point I made earlier. The airport is being financed on PPP arrangements. Part of the contributions of Anambra State Government is the provision of enabling environment- road infrastructures linking the airport and provision of the land, all these have been met as Obiano just awarded the dual carriage roads linking the airport. The massive land for the project was even acquired 2years ago by Obi.

If Orient builds this airport the way Shell built (Osubi) Warri and Escravos airports to facilitate operations, i'm all for it. It will help develop Anambra oil sector. But for the state government to sink deeper into foreign debt to do it, is clearly unreasonable. Unless you want to consider from the point of view that the governor is from Aguleri.
However, you had earlier stated it will be a PPP project. So, we are all on the same level at that.

A very long bridge is being built across this River to connect some of the oil wells being drilled by Orient and also open up new frontiers in agricultural products in the area. A lot is happening in Anambra..

people are tired of this your propaganda. what beats me is. don't you know obi is no more in office..
abi you 're maintaining momentum waiting for his ministerial appointment

That you are tired of my exposure of Peter Obi's wasted 8 years in Anambra does not mean same for others. I've got people sending me mails to fire down. We have not even started. Peter obi must not be allowed to get away with all the fraud he perpetuated in office.

I didnt write the article you quoted but Since you asked for it, tell us any road dualized by Peter obi in 8 years in Anambra. if you don't know what a flyover is go to aroma junction and see one.

As a matter of fact I'm getting tired of responding to you brainwashed elements. I should just keep posting and leave you fools to eat your hearts out!

You mean his background and wealth of experience isn't convincing enough for you that he should know he is doing? [s]You are yet to give an alternative suggestion as to how to realize funds for the ongoing transformation projects. $21million is just about 4billion naira which the state can afford when the going gets better with our IGR.[/s]

Peter Obi never dualized any road in Anambra, but it is on record he connected many many communities with good roads.

I don't think Obi failed no matter your yard stick for measurement. I think Obi was perhaps cautious to a fault. There are some projects Obi could have borrowed to do, with proper checks and balances put in place to make sure the project pays for itself.
For example, Anambra could have guaranteed a loan for Orient to complete the refinery and then make sure a fixed percentage of the profit from sale of fuel go directly towards repaying the loan used in building the refinery.

I don't want us to make this thread about Obi. Apart from the dualized Ziks avenue, Obi did dualize Park avenue leading to Shoprite in Onitsha, then move over to Harbour Industrial estate at the bank of River Niger and see standard gauge dualized roads in that estate linking various companies.

The fact is that Obi did a lot on any project that will bring return on investment. He had his short-comings just like every other person out there. But he signed the first ever CofO I applied for within 3months but Obiano is yet to sign the one I submitted over 9months ago. lol. But that is not the basis for whatever I say for each of them. The fact is Obi was good but Obiano as a technocrat is better. I stand for the truth always..

I would agree with you but our IGR under Peter obi was a mess and didn't put him up as a serious governor. While he focused on the meager allocation from FG, he claimed he was also saving this meager allocation and also claimed he refused to borrow.. That's not what serious public governments with obligations to the masses do. He couldnt have done well.
The no dualized road is why the state looks like a big village.
Ziks avenue someone mentioned was awarded by Ngige just like most of the roads you claim obi did.

But, when it comes to roads dualization, he can't even be compared to Martin Elechi or nor Theodore Orji who are believed to be purported failures. Umuahia alone has more dualized roads than Onitsha,Awka and Nnewi combined!!! You definitely cannot mention the word "roads dualization" and mention Chime nor Rochas with Obi in the same sentence. As difficult and embarrassing it is to state as the facts, Chime and Rochas transformed their states with roads dualization(ssssssssssssssssssssss)

Zik's avenue dualization was COMPLETED by Obi. It was started waaaaaay before Obi came into office.
As for the Park avenue and Harbour road, do you mind telling us if both roads combined were up to 2 km?

Standard facility guarantees no continuity. Continuity happens when there is a willing govt to carry on whatever programme a predecessor left. The mini stadia Obi constructed are being put to use almost on daily basis.

Quick questions: Assume Anambra just completed a FIFA standard stadium, who in your opinion will be responsible for its upkeep/maintenance? What events in the last one year could it have hosted and how often will the stadium be used for events befitting its status? If leased to a sports team, which team do you think has the capacity to maintain the stadium.

Udo!

Let's not overflog this issue nwanne. We Ndi Anambra have got to stop labelling certain projects and facilities that make a city world class as white elephant projects. We don't have an airport but prefer using that of Enugu or Asaba and we don't see anything wrong in it. No stadium worthy of hosting an ordinary league match and you are not bothered. It's shameful brother and peter obi is to blame cos he was in position to do that but didn't.
About maintenance, what's the big deal in maintaining a stadium? How do other states with sports stadia in Nigeria maintain theirs? Must a stadium host a major FIFA competition before you consider it being put to good use? Is a sports stadium used only for football matches?
Let's stop belittling our state abeg

Like I told OdenigoAroli in my previous post Gabros team is not built around any big NAME they just enjoy themselves and get needed results.

Enyimba was held to goaless draw in front of their fans at Aba today by Akwa UTD because of the absence of Peter Onyekachi and Kingsley Sokari who were on National assignment with Dream Team. Mfon Udoh though was there could not make much impact due to match rustiness d last time he wore the elephant jersey was in November 24th FA cup final!

You might be right,after all. Good start for the Anaedo boys but let's not celebrate yet. Do you have the match reports?

When you travel around Anambra then you will respect Obi. He didn't base his projects in one place. He made sure that every community had something to behold and that by far is more important than building every infrastructure in just one place whereas the hinterland is a no no, just like the states you mentioned. I hold him to a high esteem in terms of his performance in office..

Bro,
I have said that already. Obi is well documented to have linked every Anambra community with good two lane roads. FACT!

In terms of roads dualization, Obi whom i respect very much for other achievements came a resounding last. FACT!

Development is multifaceted in nature. Road dualization is not all that is in development. He did some of the dual carriage roads and went on to do many other network of roads connecting various communities. This is aside other sectors which he equally had a good outing. So when we rank him in overall performance he stands out even among the first ten governors during his time, which is a good outing..

His performance in health, education, security, intra state roads and agriculture gives him great points.

Nothing in roads dualization or urban renewal.(.....and don't talk about flowers in upper iweka being started by Obi )

Nice. Where was the match finally played abeg?

Rojenny of course was approved but played in Nnewi

Like as I said development is multi-faceted, One cannot stand without the other. He understood this, that was why he took on all the sectors simultaneously that way the state developed holistically. For instance when he set out to establish the malls he made sure that three major cities are part of it. But some states if not all will not think in that direction. Because of the good road networks today in Anambra no part of the state is far from each other anymore. .

Lest I forget he started the urban renewal in Onitsha which Obiano continued and culminated in what we see today at Upper-Iweka, Headbridge, Zik's Junction and around the city. Also he constructed the 4 lanes Nkpor flyover..

The Onitsha Owerri road project included 2 flyovers (So called By-passes). One at Obosi by-pass and Another at Nkpor .

The road and the flyovers were built by CCC.

Govt spends N360 billion on roads, South East takes N60 billion
From Chuks Collins, Onitsha
OUT of N360 billion spent on roads so far nation-wide since the inception of democracy, the South-East alone got N60 billion, President Olusegun Obasanjo has said.

The President disclosed this in Anambra State at the weekend while on a one-day working visit to kick-off work on the dualisation of the Onitsha/Owerri federal highway and inspect the state's international market.

Obasanjo expressed his satisfaction with the quality of job done on the 25,000 shops at the market. He commended the developers/contractors" Bukham Nigeria Limited" "for a quality job," and consequently invited them to Abuja. Obasanjo was allocated shop number one, while the state governor, Chinwoke Mbadinuju, got the next shop.

Mbadinuju thanked the management of Bukham Group "for taking the initiative in bringing the gigantic project estimated to gulp over N10 billion to Anambra State," and United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc for providing the loan. He also thanked the Federal Government, especially Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for assistance over the project. The completed shops are now on sale through forms obtainable at all UBA Plc branches nation-wide.

Also, while beginning work on the dualisation of the ever-busy Onitsha-Owerri federal highway at Oba, near the market site, the President expressed happiness that the contractors for the road project" Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) Limited" has already mobilised to the site and had been effecting some clearing, dressing and minor road repairs, before now.

The contract for the project was awarded last October to the Greek company. The President used the occasion to explain the reason behind the ceremony, which many had given a political undertone. Instead, he said it was necessary in order to facilitate the work.

President Obasanjo pointed out that he had performed a similar task at Nassarawa (Lafia Road), in the North, and the extension of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway (South-West). Such events, he explained, had always gingered up the contractors into action, which in most cases enabled them to complete the project ahead of the target date.

Obasanjo also noted that since the set target of development of 500km of roads yearly by his administration had never been met, the event was then incorporated to step up work towards achieving the target.

On the criticisms that greeted the award of the road project to CCC on the basis of cost adequacy and competence, he pointed out that a quotation (N24.6bn) from a company rated 17th in the world must have been realistic.

According to the Minister of Works, Alhaji Madaki Ali, the new dual carriage road project of 90.3 kilometres, which terminates at the Holy Ghost Cathedral Church end, Owerri, Imo State, would have four bridges and two inter-change fly-over bridges at Nkpor junction and Obosi, together with adequate drainages.

He listed other roads in the zone that would receive what he tagged "first aid maintenance treatment" before the Christmas/New Year festivities are over as the Enugu/Onitsha Expressway and the old Awka/Onitsha highway.

The minister also revealed that the bill on establishment of a road maintenance agency which was passed by the National Assembly has been signed by the President and that the agency's work would kick off fully in the new year. Governors Achike Udenwa and Sam Egwu were among others who attended the ceremony.

There is nothing to overflog here. Since you could not answer my questions, try read this to understand why you cannot build what you have not planned for its sustainability. http://www.punchng.com/sports/monuments-of-waste-nigerias-white-elephant-stadiums/ Can you see the condition of the Abuja stadium at a point in time? It took a while for the aerodrome the burst during a sporting event to be addressed. I am yet to to use the term 'white elephant' because I know the value of a standard stadium. My emphasis is on scale of preference; in one word priority and also feasibility.
Now let me address this; a stadium should be able to quite often realize funds for its upkeep from events that it hosts. What I mean here is that such events will be held as often as it will guarantee the funds for facility maintenance. Football is the most frequently played sports in Nigeria, it also has the largest followership... So which club would take care of the stadium. As I mention earlier, you keep talking of status with your "world class" this and that while I talk about the useability as at the period in question.

peace to u..I dey go morning mass

I am just seeing this your comment but I must call you an i.diot for making such a misleading assertion. Most of if not all the roads you pointed out in Umahia are the road that were merely divided at the center and are not purpose-dualized roads. Those roads are still more or less single lanes because it can hardly pass several vehicle at once.

There are so many dualized roads already in Awka apart from Zik avenue and other big road that if demarcated it will become 4 lanes in your definition. With what is on the ground already and what is going on in Awka at the moment it will displace Enugu and place it at the second position when completed, talk more of such small towns as Umahia and Owerre you mentioned in your tirade..

Look at this road below in Onitsha, it is a single lane as seen but if demarcated it can form a six lanes dual carriageway like you keep harping. There are so many roads as big as that all around Anambra..and if we start demarcating all of them we shall have the highest east of the niger. Above all intotality Anambra has the best road networks in the East. You can take that to the Supreme court..

For what's worth we are building Anambra as a state and not merely focusing on a particular area like most others does. This dual carriage road is in the hinterland not even in any of the urban centers. That is why anybody can reside in any part of the state and be commuting to work in the major cities of the state because there are good network of roads all around the state. This is what development is about and not concentrating in a particular area just to mislead the gullible..
