Lion business park is picking up with a lot of infrastructure.
The last time I visited here many people are already building warehouses there.
This 9th mile in Enugu is a strategic business location in the region.
Q: Did you prioritize people who could afford to fund the campaign?
Sen. Dickson: Sometimes, in the comfort of an air-conditioned room, people can make all kinds of claims and talk like activists, but in the real political world, resources are key.
@kentuch005 Yeah and that’s why I supported SEDC when I said ours can’t be an exception and yet I’m not enthusiastic about it.
SEDC should be fully focused on raising funds from FG purse.
Hence I mentioned about them adopting the railway masterplan FG did that encompasses all our states
I don’t subscribe wogn the middle paragraph.
Can you cite examples when we didn’t agree as a region on development we want?
You can make the point about the two and don’t lump the region into these.
Once FG throws a bone, it’s always this kind of squabbling.
Too bad for a region that is dire need of development but never always agree when it comes to crunch time.
NEDC has over 500bn released and deployed from inception, no noise and drama.
@kentuch005 The agency is a FG agency and not a regional one.
The Govs forum can also do same and pull same via vehicle available to them.
All these you mentioned didn’t in anyway insinuate disunity as you mentioned in the initial post.
And for SEDC, I have no enthusiasm whatsoever.
@kentuch005 They don’t want him doesn’t mean we’re not a United people for our interest.
You are the one making emotional claim so far in this debate.
He was quizzed by the senate committee performing overnight on his agency so how is that a big deal for average Ndigbo like me.
@kentuch005 You have lumped me and others on disunity because you want to act non emotional?
You made the emotional claim that supports your perspective and not looking at the fact that the senators were within their rights?
People have the right to question them!
They are not above such
@kentuch005 And that doesn’t stop the senate from asking them questions that you can tag silly
We don’t have equivalent of DAWN but our governors forum have agreed on partnership with SEDC
It’s left to them to work on their objectives.l
My whole point is the claim of disunity cause of these
@kentuch005 That’s the senate job and senate committee performing oversight asks such questions to ministry/agencies they perform oversights.
My issue is on your conclusion on the people and not the senators.
That’s the argument.
The senate were just performing their duty
@kentuch005 It is still them doing their job and nothing bad with that.
You mentioned elites, the SGs and it stakeholders pushed for Rail while Private sector and the business elites in the region wants power and energy.
So what other claims of lack of direction have we arrived at?
@kentuch005 The charade in demand for accountability doesn’t equate you making a statement on our disunity where as decision and interest have shown that we’re more aligned together as a people than others.
@kentuch005 I did not comment on the Senate event my point was on your claims on disunity because of Senate Charade. He was called for accountability, and that doesn't involve the unity talks.
The feasibility studies and all that were done by FG for our rail network
I doubt your last claim
