http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-10/14/c_137530932.htm OWERRI, Nigeria, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- A leading Chinese green industry enterprise Elion Resources Group on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Nigeria as part of its exploration of investment opportunities in the country, particularly in desertification control, agriculture and development of new energy resources. A delegation of the group led by Wang Wenbiao, its president, met and signed the MoU with the government of Imo State in the country's southern region, with the two parties expressing their readiness to unlock and harness the potential of natural gas resources to increase domestic and industrial power supply, raise people's living standard and support sustainable economic growth and diversification. Imo, with an estimated population of 5 million, is the fifth largest Nigerian state by gross domestic product and one of the states with high reserves of natural gas. Elion Resources Group, which was founded in 1988 in Kubiqi, one of China's deserts, aims to restore eco-environment and broaden its business to other environmentally-related areas, as well as realize the aim of using 100 percent renewable energy by 2030. Wang said the investment exploration in Nigeria followed the success of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit in Beijing last month, in which China proposed green development as part of eight new initiatives to strengthen and broaden cooperation with Africa. He said Elion Resources Group and the Imo State government was considering forest restoration, clean energy, electricity, and power based on clean energy as likely areas of cooperation within the shortest possible time. "I think coming to Nigeria will help in boosting the economy, education and poverty alleviation," said Wang, who earlier met President Muhammadu Buhari to discuss the Chinese firm's intention on the sidelines of the Beijing summit of FOCAC. Speaking on the partnership, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo said the desire of Elion Resources Group to invest in the state would go a long way to solve its power generation challenges. "Elion can develop the power sector of our economy. All our problems have been that of power, and gas is power. We have been waiting for this long to see who can move our gas into power so that the economic life of the people can change," Okorocha said. According to the governor, the investment move will also shore up the economy of Imo State and create employment in a geometric progression. He said a technical committee has been set up to design a proper framework of cooperation between the two partners within a period of two months after which a commercial agreement will be signed.

Main business of govt in relation to Industry is provide enabling environment for entrepreneurs to establish industries. Availability of treated running water enhances research and industrialization. Okorocha govt did not provide a drop of water to Imolites in eight years. Federal and state roads in Imo state are in sorry state. Okorocha has been in the ruling APC. Mbakwe built electricity power plant in Amaraku, apart from his costly surface water supply schemes for four zones in then IMO state in 4 years. Okorocha did not build any power plant in 8 years. So, Chinese shall provide roads, water, electricity, etc before their industry can thrive in Imo state? 3 Likes |

Abagworo. Early this year, you showed Chinese people, led by Uche Nwosu, taking over Owerriebeiri Cardboard factory established by Mbakwe govt. Nothing has changed since then. Even the Old Owerri road Orlu leading to the factory was scrapped and abandoned by Okorocha govt since 2012. 1 Like |

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Abagworo(m): 9:56pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
Most times downtown cities or city centers do not have the space for vegetation but in Europe and America they clean them up to something decent though absolutely concrete. Okorocha recently demolished added shops and cleared Douglas Road in center of Owerri for urban renewal which I find commendable despite all criticisms it has met. Beyond the usual shenanigans I expect the outcome not to be anything typical Nigerian. He should borrow a leaf from this picture and make sure the entire space between the houses and the road are converted to wide walkway with colourful interlocking.

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by BiafraIShere(m): 9:23pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Abagworo:Which Douglas are you referring to? Is it the one that has long been abandoned to filth and decay. Even the picture you posted shows how bad the situation is. SMH! |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by mandax: 9:55pm On Oct 18, 2018 |
Abagworo: No European or American town planner would contemplate demolition for expansion of inner city roads like Douglas and Wethrel Owerri. Owelle mere yaa. That was the chorus from Owerri natives as Owelle abandoned rest of Imo state to decay while he built ten lanes streets in Owerri where four lanes would suffice. |

I may have missed it, so can someone tell me what Imo state has gained over and above other states in the south-east by being in the 'ruling party'? There's always this justification given by the likes of Okorocha and other Igbo politicians in APC that Igbos need to be at the centre so as to ensure we 'collect our own share'! 4 Likes |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by sCun: 7:49am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Xander85:It would be nice if you create a thread on this. I remember a lot of noise was made about "aligning with the center" then, shortly after the Presidential election that APC won and prior to the state elections. That factor contributed to Okorocha's victory. I would also like to know what special thing Imolites benefitted from being in the ruling party. 2 Likes |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by SoNature(m): 9:21am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Xander85: The truth is that Nigerian political space is in its infancy and evolving, so we learn every day. Perhaps that would have been the case for some other scenarios. But I can authoritatively say that it didn’t happen under Rochas/Buhari arrangement. IMO, Buhari wants the world to perceive him as a just person. But he's just one flippant, corrupt and sanctimonious oldie. And for Rochas, he's a stooge who begs to be accepted; like a man with no direction. So, nobody should expect a man like that to even tell Buhari to do something for his people as he fears it could cost him his presidential ambition. I gave up on him when he started saying that Igbos don't have the moral grounds to ask for anything from Buhari since we didn't vote for him. Even Abagworo cannot defend him on this 3 Likes |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by mandax: 3:21pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
Xander85: Instead of APC federal govt building anything in Imo state, gov. Okorocha uses funds meant for development of Imo state to build Federal government projects like Prisons and Police Barracks in Owerri. Humans cluster on dusty, muddy and dilapidated two lane streets in Orlu, without common urban drainage system, humans cluster like that in other towns of Imo state. Imo state House of Assembly could not have deliberated and approved the use of state funds to build Federal prisons and police barracks by Okorocha. For wanting to please federal government, but put Imolites in miserable conditions in his search to become Nigeria's president, Rochas Okorocha is a most selfish politician that Igboland ever produced. 2 Likes |
Re: Few Pics From Imo State by Abagworo(m): 11:07am On Oct 22, 2018 |
SoNature: OKOROCHA has been under undue attack by a gang up of Igbo political leaders in all political parties simply because they know he's the only one trusted enough by other Nigerians as detribalized and nationally acceptable to become President. All the other stories are made up to justify the gang up but in the end Igbos have little voting strength to influence an all Igbo presidential race in which Okorocha is involved. 1 Like |

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by SoNature(m): 2:13pm On Oct 22, 2018 |
AKswift: While I may not entirely agree with Abagworo's submission, I don't think you are right either (looking at the emboldened). If our leaders are not detribalized, we will continue to have a restive society. Just look at the level of criticism that greeted Buhari's lopsided appointments because he's not a detribalized man. One thing nobdoy can take away from Rochas is being detribalized. While the idea of a detribalized leader is critical for improved national cohesion, I think Nigeria has scammed the Igbos several times with the hoax. Coming to Nigeria, I think we need to restructure this country, most especially in the areas of state policing, decentralized electricity generation and resource control. |

The Imo governor who fought a most viscous war against his home senatorial constituency for 7 years, destroyed and stiffed every government development project there, because of his private business interests - the governor is getting RED CARD from the entire Imo state. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. It's most foolish of advisers who told gov. Okorocha that without support of his home base, Aboki shall "appoint" Rochas Okorocha in future as president of Nigeria. 1 Like |

Re: Few Pics From Imo State by SoNature(m): 1:11pm On Oct 27, 2018 |
B2mario: Frankly speaking, I don't see the essence of comparing our cities because they have their uniqueness, strength and failings. I think the focus should be on best and worst governors in the region with emphasis on what they did well and what they should have done differently. Our today's leaders will certainly kick the bucket someday. And when they do, some of us here will definitely replace them. So, you never can tell, what we learned here could be the driver of our state or regional growth at that time. 1 Like |
