tranxo:
but work is currently ongoing there na.

spyder880:


Yes, but not with the "Sullivan" speed

mensdept:
As I'm looking at these pics, I can't see anything world class yet?

Of course, there is improvements, but still leagues away from anything grand and modern

tranxo:
Lol...Remember it stalled for a while before resuming again.

Nnewi1stSon:
I'll be back

I don't consider cities like PHC and Ibadan big considering the nature of their buildings.

Port Harcourt is littered with bungalows, you rarely see high rise residential layouts with high concentration of blocks of flat like you can see in most SE cities. If you visit places like Nkpor, Awada, Obosi, Woliwo and Fegge you will know why Onitsha is yet to met Awka and Nnewi.

Buildings in Cities in Igboland are built vertically to save land and increase economic potential while others waste lands with bungalows and face-me-i-face-you buildings.

Below is a glance of Awada layout Onitsha look like

That's why I said initially, that both cities have a completely different layout. I haven't been able to find layout like Achara layout in PH. I am not entirely sure, but I think there no Zoning of building pattern in PH like we have it Enugu. Independence layout, GRA, trans enugu, are basically for bungalows or duplexes, while Achara layout, Abakpa, Uwani are for high rising block houses. However, I think the skyline of PH is gradually changing. Only a radical measure by state government can decongest PH and spread out Development, and reduce the heavy pressure on public facilities.

Beautiful and breathtaking pictures of the den. I really commend your effort @nnewi1stson, I would have loved to meet you but unfortunately I'm not yet in school (as you can see the environment is still in dearth of its buzz due to the absent of students), would be returning this week though. UNN has really been transformed right from Prof Nebo's tenure to date. Each faculty now wearing new look with beautiful edifice springing up. The departments also are not left out with every class having soothing desk for students with Hitech starboard installed in each. The faculty of social sciences seem to be the one enjoying much of these breeze of change (LOL!!) with almost every departments now having its large building coupled with a brand new faculty of social sciences phase II still under construction beside St. Peter's chaplaincy. Of recent the current VC has connected the whole school with wireless internet facility (powered by Tenace) but the encryption of the service is making boring for some of us. The number of students per room for boys has been reduced to 5 (heard it would have been 4) but boys still be boys na ...and to the other super lion, the company incharge of the school's cleaning and maintenance is 'total facility management' and not Akiota which is the school's construction company (not owned by the school). I hope Ifeanyi Uba would just channel his money into completion of the school's database building still uncompleted beside the library which he started instead of sponsoring our ungrateful politician (...that would even earn him an ad infinitio legacy).

Handsomegod:
Good to know that good things are happening in my alama mata at such breathtaking pace. All the transformations you reeled out seemed so strange when I recall what it was like in our time. The new VC should run with the vision without looking back.Expositions like this also make me wonder the criteria for university ranking being churned out yearly by the Lagos/Ibadan media elements! @Christjames and Nnewi1st son,which departments anf levels are u? Do u know if Dr Charles Chukwudozie alias "Akionu" is still a lecturer in G.S Humanities section? I recal another comic lecturer in political science called "Anu nkanka mpi"(Animal with jagged horns)...Is he still there too? Please show me faculty of Engineering especially Termac 2-5(Agbebi block). May God bless ur cameras as u do so..

Nnewi1stSon:
GS building

IGBOSON1:
Nnewi1stSon, nice effort on your part! Sometimes the annoying website just prevents uploading for no particular reason, and shows an annoying error message! Just leave it and try again later!

Are they still working on that nice looking building under construction or has work stalled on it?

The story behind that building is disappointing..... however I cannot tell you (Because I do not wish to become a "Premature Graduate" ) Well "Someone" embezzled the money meant for the building... well the good news is the new VC has re started work on the building.
