ENUGU STATE SECRETARIAT ANNEX NSUKKA......When Completed will house all the State government workers whose offices are scattered around Nsukka town

OreMI22:


I love what Gov Ugwuanyi is doing. This will help elevate Nsukka to a true alternate city in Enugu state. Every state deserves at least 2 liveable decent cities.

However, What the governor needs to do now is to open up a GRA Nsukka with solid dual carriage access roads. So that private developers can begin to develop the neighborhood. That way, you can have an area where people can build decent houses and live in Nsukka. Instead of always needing to live in Enugu if you want a nice area.

One thing Onitsha managed to do in the old Anambra state was to also have a great GRA which enabled great transporters and businessmen the ability to live in a decent neighborhood while running their companies and businesses in Onitsha. it also helped Onitsha to attract and keep big time business men.

The problem of Nsukka is not really lack of government presence; it has more to do with the citizens.
The locals aren't enterprising enough in nature and they are averse to foreign agents of development, preferring to hold onto tiny swathes of land than leasing to investors.
You only build GRA's and decent estates when a city is thriving and expanding quickly so the need arises for an organized pattern of building.
Nsukka is neither thriving nor growing, just that same old university town.
Remove UNN,Enugu road and ogige market and what do you have left in Nsukka?

Nice pictures so far.

Gburugburu is doing well but he still needs to do better most especially on the issue of ESUT.
I am tired of hearing about the continuous balkanization of that institution by successive governments of the state.

The plan of moving College of medicine Parklane to Nsukka its initial site is a nice suggestion but that college at Parklane has passed that stage of being tossed around across the state.

Instead of its fragmentation why not create a new 'University of Medical Sciences, Nsukka' (Enugu state now needs two states universities) where special medical and allied health courses will be offered just like they have it in Ondo state and Rivers State (although private). That will make the state, one of the three states having a Specialized medical university. There is a whole lot to gain.

the Igbo-ano specialist hospital can be made a teaching hospital or better still having the current General Hospital Nsukka (which was the initial teaching hospital for ESUT) as a teaching hospital won't be bad either.


I know Gburugburu is a listening governor with media aides in this platform, please take this into consideration.

The plan to move ESUT Teaching Hospital is no longer feasible.

AdaoraNK:


It was politically motivated

kmariko:
Governor Ugwuanyi should turn the Orba specialist hospital into a full fledged School of Health Sciences... Not as an appendage to ESUT...

It's evolution will be a gradual process in order to contain costs. He does not have to pay for all the infrastructural development now..., just get it approved and functional as subsequent administrations will improve on it.

Digitron:


Yeah and there is no resources for that. Replicating Parkline at Orba as currently proposed will consume about 20 billlion naira minimum.

He should focus on opening up the rural communities as well as upgrading facilities in Nsukka and other towns.

OreMI22:


Exactly the wasteful mindset that makes Nigeria to be full of uncompleted projects.
I would have ignored this comment, but it's typical of what has helped make Nigeria such a huge mess. Biko nu, what is wrong with how our people reason?

You want a teaching hospital in Nsukka that isn't an annex of ESUT. Its not an annex of UNTH. You do not have any university in mind that the hospital will use to train doctors, but you miraculously think that other Governors will develop it for you?

Sometimes, I wonder if people just type things to help deceive the government into wasteful escapades. Nigerians are so wasteful of their resources. That is why despite our oil, other countries still manage to live better standard of living than Nigeria.
