IMOLITES MUST KNOW THIS :The governor came on board with the idea that roads in Owerri municipal, the capital city should all have gates. Contracts for the construction of the gates in every street were later awarded at the cost of N4 million. Today virtually all the gates have been abandoned. Ten of such gates were awarded to a retired army colonel from Ngor/Okpala who had since abandoned the work and the gate under construction at the entrance of Old Okigwe road has since been converted to a refuse dump site. All the contracts have been abandoned and nobody is asking why they were abandoned. The so called round about in each of the roads is something that should worry an average Imo man and woman. A round about now covers the entire road thereby causing congestions on the roads. For instance, the Imo State University junction round about. There is no the essence of building a pedestrian bridge at the same place Okorocha sold the 27 general hospitals to LANTAC Group of companies at the cost of N17 billion. There are speculations that the company is owned by a former military head of state from North Central State, Nigeria who operates through a front called Doctor Ibrahim, based in Abuja. Curiously, the same company is building new general hospitals in all the 27 local government areas.
