Enugu — Ohanaeze Ndigbo has set up a committee to develop an economic blue-print for the South-East, its President-General, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has said.

Nwodo said: “The Planning and Strategy Committee, headed by former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, with Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa as deputy and Ferdinand Agu, will design an economic road map for Ndigbo. It is a rapid response to our new call on our people to develop a spirit of self-reliance.”

Nwodo, who spoke in Enugu, said the economic agenda would “be our home grown effort to initiate practical development models, powered by the private sector and specifically directed in the first place to production, commerce and education.”

He, however, commended the governors of Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Delta, Imo and Rivers states for their development efforts.

His words: “Commendable developments are noticeable in our states. Anambra has launched a new joint venture in building an international cargo and passenger airport with a proximate new city.


“Ebonyi and Enugu have had useful meetings with the Federal Ministry of Mines with a view to reactivating Nkalagu Cement and Enugu Coal Corporation.

“Imo is building a gas plant in Egbema. Abia is partnering with an international consortium in developing a new sea port at Obeaku.

“Rivers is developing a new Port Harcourt city with an industrial layout. Delta has embarked on a massive urban infrastructural renewal scheme. There is, in our view, a rekindling of the determination to take our destiny into our own hands.

“On the part of Ohanaeze, we have set up two important working committees including the Planning and Strategy Committee and a Construction Review Committee with James Ikeyi, SAN, as chairman.”

BLINGZ88:
on behalf of all the igbo all over the world, I would like to tell these ohaneze to STFU

CarlosTheJackal:
Tell us why you think any Igbo man is part of your folly

BLINGZ88:
what have ohaneze done since it's creation to matter?. they all want political appointment and other things that will benefit them solely. they can't sand by a code, always flip flopping with issues.
what did they do to support nnamdi Kanu. Who was held for no just cause. they are just there to support the ruling party and not support changes that matter.

Amarabae:

and why must they support nnamdi kanu ipob?
Ohanaeze speaks for the Igbo nation because its a sociocultural organisation.
Ipob is a seccessionist organisation.
they are different.
and what kind of stupid code do you want them to stand? Ipob code?
have a sit pls.

legitnow:


Simple, becos Nigeria is very unstable and can collapse at any given time.

IPOB is very popular and as such carries the mandate of Ndiigbo. IPOB can head deep into Port Harcourt unchallenged, which other group can attain such fit? Ohanaeze no dey fear? All south east Gov and Senator better fall in line with Nnamdi just in case the zoo collapse, otherwise they will have a very big problem on their hands.

Amarabae:

Nonsense,Nnamdi Kanu carrying Igbo mandate? And what is the Igbo mandate if i may ask

My sister, mandate is popular consensus. Nobody can dispute the huge support and approval that Nnamdi is getting from both the SE and SS.

it is unprecedented.

Amarabae:

You are trying to dodge my question, I ask you again,what is the Igbo mandate that you say nnamdi kanu is carrying?

CarlosTheJackal:
Sorry you are wrong. Nwodo Ohaneze is different from all those Ohaneze before this

legitnow:


Mandate is to "give (someone) authority to act in a certain way."

Power belongs to the people in democracy.

Following Nnamdi Arrest and despite military murder of protesters, people in SS/SE kept on trooping out on the street. Protest are a recognised form of political participation. Mandate can be derived from mass protest though different from those derived from referendum, and elections.

Amarabae:

there is something you are trying to dodge!
Is Biafra the Igbo mandate you say that nnamdi kanu is carrying?

legitnow:


Define IPOB?

Amarabae:

That is not the answer to my question.
is Biafra the Igbo mandate you said nnamdi kanu is carrying? YES OR NO?

legitnow:


Nnamdi Kanu is the moses of our time, he is taking us to the promise land.

Amarabae:

I am done with this argument since you can't andwer a simple question.
