The Imo State Government on Wednesday made good its promise to fully revive the rubber estate at Obitti Community in Ohaji Local Government Area of the state when the committee on Imo Rubber Estates Limited parleyed with landlords and stakeholder’s of the largest rubber estate in the state.

Dr. Ray Opara, Chairman of the committee who led Imo Commissioner of police (CP) his team and other members of the committee to the host communities where hostilities by youths had stalled production activities for years before the intervention of the rubber committee instituted by Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Opara said the committee was on assignment to resuscitate, investigate the environmental and human damage caused by past administration and the operations of the aggrieved youths and landlords who frowned against neglect by past administration.

He said,” Our governor Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has given us the mandate to resolve the long protracted problems in the rubber plantation. The governor brought us together to ensure this investment is resuscitated to the benefit of Obiti people.”

The Chairman who seized the platform to solicited corporation and support of the people assured them that Imo Government will revalidate staff list and add more staffers.

He averred that Gov Ihedioha has a different approach to governance, charging stakeholders and youths to reason among themselves and present the committee with names of their children ready to work for possible employment.

According to him, “Give us your utmost corporation today and we will revalidate the staff list and ensure your children are carried along in the sphere of things in the rubber plantation. Whatever the problem is that has kept that place moribund, will be resolved. We are aware of the agreement you have had before with past government but ours will be different and you will benefit first”

Opara who raised eyebrows over the rate at which rubber trees were being cut down by the people enjoined them to desist from such act because the establishment was for their interest.

The Chairman who was so impressed with the community overwhelming reception during the visit out of his personal purse offered a monetary award in form of scholarships worth N400 thousand to secondary school pupils whose parents are land owners in Obiti community.

He said,” through my foundation, Chibuzor Foundation, the scholarship will be given to pupils who performed excellently particularly those who took first position from JSS1-SSS3 in the coming examination.

The Traditional Ruler of Obiti community, HRH Rze Emmanuel Odunze, in his welcome address commended Governor Ihedioha for remembering his community and for deeming it fit to resuscitate a company that had gone moribund for several years.

He assured the members of the committee that if Obiti Community gets what is due to it, as promised by the government that his people will surely cooperate with government of Gov Ihedioha.

That bridge from all indication might have been destroyed by Ihedioha himself. If he could still go ahead to demolish Freedom Square today after series of other destructions it is getting clearer now that many of the damaged Rochas Okorocha's projects was deliberate nefarious destruction. This is the latest destruction of the artificial rocks and waterfalls at Freedom Square.

Unbiased1:


This monument collapsed, it was not destroyed by Ihedioha. There was no case of bulldozers or any heavy machine or people bringing it down under the orders of the present governor. Don't spread fake news.

Abagworo:
My town is presently battling with a devastating flood disaster that has rendered so many homeless, jobless and hopeless. While they are busy playing their politics in Owerri the deputy Governor should know his home is on fire without any help on sight from both State and federal government. This flooding is a biannual occurence and the Government of Okorocha never allowed things to degenerate to this level but now that we have the deputy nobody cares.

Ooo, come on, Sir. A monument that was there throughout the tenure of the former governor just "conveniently" collapsed like that? I'm guessing the rains that fell this year were just too much for it? Please, let's try to be unbiased in our analysis.

By the way, there have been this outcry about Douglas road. Someone I contacted actually told me the situation have so degenerated that you'll be robbed at gunpoint in BROAD DAYLIGHT, and according to her, all this started after the demolishing of the marker by Rochas. It is claimed that the traders there even know the boys perpetuating this evil, but cannot do anything about it.

Let's not build another lawless agbero dynasty in IMO as is being witnessed in some southwest states, please.

I hope Ihedioha will look into the security challenge there and save inhabitants of Owerri. Don't just arrest those boys, try to ensure they r put away for good, please.

IMO deserves better

I am not surprised..I knew it will come to this https://guardian.ng/news/engineers-recommend-demolition-of-okorochas-tunnels-others/amp/

SoNature:
Prof. Viola Onwuliri, a one-time minister of Nigeria, will be sworn in as commissioner in Imo State.

Isn't this rather surprising?

Everyone just want to be relevant.

It seems that people tend to lose their senses when they join politics.

I had some regards for that woman back in the day at FUTO though because I thought she was different.

SpaceTour:


This is the right thing to do. Imo state as a whole is a huge mess and eyesore, Owerri particularly is worse. There's no single infrastructure standing today in Owerri, everywhere is just bad devastated unmotorable roads.

The culvert tunnel is a disaster waiting to happen just like the flyover. Ihedioha is very proactive.

Abogwara come and carry your collapsed culvert tunnel and flyover because Ihedioha is coming with his bulldozer lol

Abagworo:


Ihedioha is like a mad man with cigarette lighter in a gas station. Presently he is putting speed bumps on 8 lane highways buillt by Okorocha to ease movement in order to spoil the road and blame Okorocha. Rumour has it that he also wants to demolish pedestrian bridges built by Okorocha and reduce the highways from 8 back to 4 lanes.

I laughed really hard after reading that line.

Given your disposition in this forum, it will be difficult for anyone to take you seriously when you criticize the present governor.

Well, I have always believed that nothing good can come out of Imo PDP.

However, I need Ihedioha to prove me wrong.

Judging by the way that he is picking avoidable fights, I think he buttresses my stance on his party.

asha80:
eg of the avoidable fights if I may ask?

SoNature:


Using the EFCC to go after the Okorochas, for me, was completely unnecessary. We must learn to see things from a broader perspective. Imo State needs jobs...and the agency will just render them useless.

Besides, the EFCC doesn't return to state monies that were looted in the state. This argument has been on for years.

Given that Rochas and his goons stole the money and invested it in the state, he should have let it ride.

I remember how Sullivan used the EFCC to victimize Chimaroke Nnamani.

What was the result? The antigraft watchdog killed eastern region's biggest telcom Rainbownet and the best private radio station in the region at the time, Cosmo FM. You and I know what such moves usually lead to - more unemployment.

Today, Chimaroke is a senator, and Sullivan has become pollitically irrelevant.

Incredibleme:

I case you didn't know it's obvious you are politically biased and I'm not even sympathetic to PDP. Umahi doing wonders in ebonyi is from CPC right?
The governor has not fully settled in and you are already making conclusions, If you really are interested in what's happening in Imo state follow the governor's hadle on twitter. You should also understand that to have a good system, you need to set up a reliable framework for government to work on, which involves partnerships with professionals and effective legislations which roachas your saviour never did. Instead it was rather random spendings, and gifts and deceptive philanthropy he was doing. Look at what is happening in Imo state now, everyone is complaining of the bad state of the infrastructure.

Ihedioha had a lot of house cleaning to do, so chill niqqer

marshman293:
so this is how this thread died.Nothing is happening here again

asha80:
you honestly think it was ihedioha that directed efcc to go against rochas?with the way efcc operates you really believe that?have you forgotten rochas also has very strong oppositions in the top echelon of his own party?

As for the line of investing the state and letting it slide I hope you know there is this thing called cause and effect?like people in future doing much worse in that regards knowing 'nothing go happen' and simply bleed the state to stupor?

Imo1stson:
Justice Oputa Judiciary complex built by Okorocha, commissioned in May and adjudged the best in Nigeria is already a shadow of itself. Isn't Ihedioha the worst Governor in Nigeria today?

SoNature:


Oga, the governor cannot do everything.
What's wrong with Nigerians?
Why can't one lawyer or judge buy a mower to weed the surrounding?
Do they expect the governor to always do that for them?
What is wrong with our people?!

Oddnumber:


A Judge should buy a mower? Are you sure you are sane?

Okorocha built a courthouse and Ihedioha can't cut ordinary grasses.

SoNature:


You just represent a typical Nigerian... people who will neevr make a little sacrifice for greater good but want to live in paradise.

Tomorrow, you will go comparing Nigeria with overseas not knowing that some of them paid supreme prices to make their countries great.

I am not sane...keep waiting for Ihedioha to come and tidy up their surrounding.
You missed a little detail, the court building is yet to be occupied by the judiciary, the building is still under the state government authority so a judge buying a mover is totally out of place because the judge don't even have access to the building.

Ndi Nzuzu!
