Abia On The Verge Of Socio-economic/infrastructural Evolution by bensonuche: 6:39pm On Jul 16, 2015 |
Abia on the verge of socio-economic/infrastructural evolution. By Uche Aguoru Having keenly observed Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu's inaugural speech and his expeditious actions to deliver within 100 days in office his electoral promises to expectant Abia residents, I have become ever convinced that Abia State is truly on the verge of socio-economic and infrastructural evolution. The benefactor of this unprecedented infrastructural revolution; apart from the people is Enyimba city; the commercial hub centre of Abia state and indeed Igbo land which is in dire need of such renascence to power and sustain the economy of the state. Despite multiplicity of challenges Abia State was enmeshed in before the enthronement of Dr. Ikpeazu, he has been able to find optimal balance within the short period of his administration between government and the governed. The dichotomy and the false dualism of “they and us” which existed between government and the governed have given way to patriotism as the people are beginning to view the efforts to develop Abia State as a collective one. It is axiomatic that whoever wants to get Abia right must first and foremost get Aba right; this means the ability to enhance its potentials to the best rewarding proportion to create a convivial environment suitable enough to attract investment both locally and internationally. This is where Ikpeazu’s proactiveness comes handy because his action to expedite development in Abia State, especially Aba has resurrected the commercial spirit of the town which had gone comatose ever since the advent of democracy in 1999. Upon resumption, Dr. Ikpeazu made the revamping of Aba his administration’s top priority if the badly battered Abia economy must be revived to impact other sectors and by extension our youths who have been ravaged by unemployment. Lack of commitment by Abia leaders has been the bane of development in the state and if the administration of Dr. Ikpeazu can sustain the tempo with which the Aba renewal program was kicked off, then there is hope for the badly battered Abian. Sooner than later, the commercial activities which the state is known for will spring back to life, industries and viable factories will return to Aba and the commercial town will beam back to life. The state generally will experience a boost in commercial activities and the ultimate effect will be an increase in the states IGR and employment for Abia youths. Like Dr. Ikpeazu has promised, he will run Abia not with only the allocation that accrues to the state monthly from the federal purse but also look inward to see ways of tapping from the abundant human and material resources abound in the state. Without sounding immodest, the sky is the limit as the governor has identified and tackled earlier the abysmal infrastructural decadence that has hindered economic advancement of Abia state. As patriotic citizens our obligations as a people should be to support the present administration led by Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu to achieve this task of putting Abia on the threshold of socio-economic revolution. Aguoru Writes from Umuahia
