Alright.

First, the acronym stands for 'African Export/Import Bank, and is a child creation of the African Development Bank. It is by no way a creation of IMO State Government as your post would suggest. The bank has been in existence since 1993.

The governor apparently plan to build a complex, equip it with with scarce public funds, and here we are. This shit is not the most pressing need a governor should do, it is not what IMO State people need most.

This remains my opinion by the way

You have not addressed the question posed. What you did was reel out the history of the bank.

Firstly the state is only donating 4 hectares of land that's all

The bank would build a QA/QC center and a training center valued at 60bn

Not only would this create jobs but also help train thousands of our youths to become expects on QA/QC
If u know what that means

Did you read anywhere that imo state government was going to spend imo state resources building a 60billion bank?
If imo state don't need the bank to be built there, I suppose your state is the right place to build the bank

It is toolovely of the governor to have attracted the bank to Imo. Pdp power to the people.

last minute horsetrading!
