asha80: Here is the Governor's statement. http://nigerianpilot.com/okorocha-dismisses-critics-says-he-is-focused-on-industrializing-imo/ He explained that his administration has worked so much on the issue of industrial parks which are now changing close to Ohaji/Egbema because of the closeness to gas supply as partners are coming from Singapore and China by the first week of September for a joint review of the site and to construct the industrial park. “We decided Ohaji/Egbema because of the closeness to gas supply, so we are arranging with oil companies to allow access to gas so that we can power the entire industrial park. For me I have promised Imo people that I will deliver and I ‘m sure I will deliver”. |

Abagworo: Positive news? It is four years that you spread the same type of news from your principals in Douglas House, Owerri - news about Chinese, Turkish, German business people coming to partner with Okorocha government to provide light, industries and what have you. Question: if a state legislature approved money to build Princess and Prince Hotels, two sports stadia in Okigwe and Orlu respectively, and about three-and-half years after, those projects are not built by the executive, what happens? 3 Likes 1 Share |

This thread needs to be diversified a little. Abagworo don't worry Aga ma nye gi ohere, k' kuturu' ume. Umunnem, we don't talk about other development indices in Imo state. Let's talk sports biko.

SKIPPER EFUGH SAYS HEARTLAND STILL SHOCKED BY 3SC LOSS by Staff Reporter Tuesday Aug 11, 2015. 08:28 Heartland FC captain Chinedu Efugh has told AfricanFootball.com his team are still in a shock after a Week 22 loss to Shooting Stars. On Monday, Heartland FC lost 3-1 to Shooting Stars in a rescheduled match at the Rojenny International Stadium, Oba, near Onitsha. It was Shooting Stars first win in many years. Efugh said ‘The Naze Millionaires’ were unlucky to lose the game which everyone expected them to win. "The game just turned against us. We didn't deserve to lose the game. It was a surprise to me and the entire team that we lost the game like that, it was a game we were expected to win,” Efugh told AfricanFootball.com “It's just hard luck for us. Shooting Stars utilised all their chances to win the game. That's football for you." http://www.africanfootball.com/news/558838/Skipper-Efugh-says-Heartland-still-shocked-by-3SC-loss

asha80: A Government whose every decision is fought cannot perform optimally. Okorocha suffered from a big fight against a combination of federal might and Igbo political elders in his 1st term but used the masses to win a 2nd term. Many of the contractors that abscounded including the Dina man from Lebanon were on instruction from powers that be. This 2nd term should have been a flawless ride but radio biafra has teamed up with the politicians to even recruit the masses in fighting him. The end result will be legitimate protest against every attempt of development including refusal to give out land and even violence based wholly on rumours without verification. An example is the recent protest by Alvan students against Okorocha instead of FG even though it was just a rumour. |

asha80: You start from somewhere. The message is that Orlu zone is getting the industrial park because of high availabilty of oil and gas which I believe is right and more economically intelligent decision than laying pipe to Owerri/Irete industrial area. |

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nbc-begins-work-on-n80bn-mega-plant-project-in-imo/217942/ Management of the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Limited has disclosed that work would soon commence on its mega plant project at Okigwe in Imo State which is expected to cost the company N80 billion. Also, the bottling company had paid over N33 billion electricity bills it consumed in five years period. This was disclosed by the Head of Public Affairs Communication, Mr. Uzo Odenigbo, during an interactive session with journalists in Owerri, the state capital. According to him, work on the proposed site should have commenced earlier, stating that despite the delay, arrangement had been concluded to start work on the 30,000 hectares of land soon. He however denied the allegation of rift between the company and the state government over the said land, following the abandonment of the land after many years it was handed over to the NBC. Odenigbo noted that when the plant becomes operational, it would create jobs for many Nigerians and reduce youth unemployment and restiveness in the country. The company image maker also disclosed that the management had within the period of 2008 to 2013 paid Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) now Enugu Electricity Development Commission (EEDC) the sum of N33 billion as electricity bills. He stated that the company had always settled its electricity bills anywhere they have their operational plants to avoid distraction despite having other sources of electricity. Answering questions from journalists during the interactive session, he explained that the NBC operates 12 bottling plants in Nigeria in addition to 50 distribution depots and a widespread network of distribution partners. |

List Of Commissioners, Other Appointees Ready Okorocha’s Nominees To Reach Imo Assembly Next Week Posted by admin on Aug 17th, 2015 By the time members of the Imo State House of Assembly resume from their break next week, part of the challenges they are expected to tackle is the issue of screening of the governor`s lists for appointment into offices. After keeping the residents of the state in suspense concerning those who would be part of his new cabinet, Trumpeta leant that the list is ready and waiting delivery to appropriate quarters for screening. Part of the first duties Governor Rochas Okorocha discharged when he took oath of office for second tenure was the mass sack of all appointees including members of boards and commissions. To get the government running, few aides including positions for Secretary to the State Government and Chief of Staff were appointed. Two months after running the affairs of the state alone, Okorocha is said to have concluded arrangements to form his full cabinet. Though, details of the names to become commissioners, special advisers , senior special assistants and special assistants have not been made public, but our reporter was informed that the list has been drawn and waiting for the next move. Trumpeta was informed that the recent trip Okorocha made to overseas offered him the opportunity and conducive environment to settle and pencil down suitable names for the positions. It was also gathered that the governor also had time to interface with the speaker of the House, Acho Ihim who it was further gathered also made inputs into the new lists. The action of the governor is said to have put paid to activities of lobbyists who employed several fronts to gain his attention and that of family members for consideration for political offices. http://www.imotrumpeta.com/?p=14933 |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Abagworo(m): 10:58pm On Aug 20, 2015 |
Saw this on The Nation newspaper and it's quite disappointing. Imo security guard workers protest against 7 months debt. If Okorocha cannot handle his recurrent expenditure, then the free education should be scrapped and the money used for payment of salaries. It is useless building roads or giving free education to hungry people and I hope this is not true. http://thenationonlineng.net/photo-local-security-protest-unpaid-stipends-in-owerri/

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Ofodirinwa: 4:13am On Aug 21, 2015 |
Very unlike you to say such about Okorocha. I think the issue isn't in free education or roads. Both are cheap really. The issue is fiscal ignorance and the use of state funds for rochas' failed presidential ambition. Rochas believed for example, in scrapping the local government. In countries all over the world, local governments (call them country, ward, city) are sources of revenue and mico development that take the burden off the state. So now he has to build every nook and cranny in Imo down to the last blade of grass and it's too much for the state to bare. fiscal ignorance. A lot of wasteful projects as well like those ugly confusing pedestrian bridges. |

Imo legislature recommends expulsion of coca-cola company Insists coy must tender c-of-o for certification – Posted 3 days agoPosted in: Economy, International News, Local News, Security The State House of Assembly Imo state, on Tuesday August, 18, 2015 recommended that, the executive governor of the state, Owelle Rochas Okorocha should take urgent steps in revocation of the certificate of occupancy (c-of-o) for over 300 hectres of land allocated operations of the Nigerian Bottling Company, (NBC), manufacturers of coca-cola soft drinks, in Okigwe LGA, considering the excruciating economic down-turn ravaging the state. Addressing the Assembly during interface with authorities of the NBC led by the operations manager, Mallam Aliyu Bako, speaker of the House of Assembly Rt. Hon.Acho Ihim, said that the move became most-imperative, in view of the fact that, the company, which occupied the vast land in Okigwe, Imo State for thirty (30) years, has not shown convincing will and desire to help address the unemployment scourge in the state among other bothering issues trailing the protracted delay to begin business by the multi-national firm. During the summon, preceded by a cross-fire of “question and answer” session upon resolution on a house motion earlier moved by the member representing Njaba constituency, Hon. (Mrs) Uju Mbadiwe, the embittered Majority of the state lawmakers, who took a swipe in ensuring that authorities of the NBC present for certification, operational permit and other papers issued them on allocation of the land at Okigwe since 30years ago, maintaing that, if the company is not ready to begin work on the land, the certificate of occupancy be withdrawn as other companies are readily available to invest there, in the state. The aggrieved lawmakers, notable among whom are, the deputy speaker Hon. Ugonna Ozuruigbo, (Nwangele) Hon. Chinedu Ofor (Onuimo),Hon. Kennedy Ibeh (Obowo),Hon.Obinna Egu (Ngor-Okpala), Hon.Mike Iheanetu (Aboh-Mbaise) Hon.(Mrs) Uju Mbadiwe (Njaba), Hon Ikechukwu Amuka (Ideato-south) Hon. (Mrs) Ngozi Obiefule (Isu) and Hon.Victor Onyewuchi (Owerri West); are of the view that since the multi-national company has long delayed in the installation of takeoff facilities and equipment, even in the face of the industrialization policy by the governor, Okorocha anchored on attracting business investors in the state for even development, the company should quit, to pave way for others willing to invest, so as to suit the state’s economic needs. However, the NBC led by Mallam Boko had earlier informed the Assembly that it has plans to complete the ground-breaking operations on the site before the end of 2016, after which it begins installations of mega facilities that would be actualized in the year, 2020. Consequently, the Assembly led by Speaker Ihim, set up an 8-man committee to mandate the company to redirect its master plan, tender evidence of land allocation or risk revocation. The committee is chaired by Hon. Ike Amuka and seven others. http://nigerianewspoint.com/?p=7149 |

http://www.channelstv.com/2015/08/25/imo-state-presents-industrialisation-plan-in-trade-investment-forum/ The Imo State government says it is set to begin the construction of a multi-million Naira Industrial Park to enhance industrialisation and economic growth. As contained in a plan presented at a Trade Investment Forum on Monday, the park would be located in Ohaji Egbema and Oguta oil producing areas of the state in eastern Nigeria, with a target to generate about five billion dollars yearly. The three-day Imo Trade Investment Forum is organised by the State government and is holding at the Imo State Trade Investment Centre in Owerri, the Imo State capital. Declaring the Forum open, the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, said that the State government had already earmarked 20,000 hectares of land in Ohaji Egbema for the easy take-off of the modern industrial park that will open Imo state to the world. He reiterated his commitment to ensuring that within the next four years, his mission and vision remained industrialisation, wealth creation and creation of job opportunities for teaming unemployed youths in the state. The newly completed Imo Trade Centre, the venue for the Forum, came alive on Monday, with business men and investors both foreign and local all gathered to witness the first ever investment forum. |
