So what are they doing with ART?

Becouse they claimed no single case of HIV in the entire region when state by state statistics was reported sometimes back?

What some people get from boasting is what I still can't figure out.

AntiRetroviral Therapy (ART)

ADDRESS BY THE GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY, RT. HON. EMEKA IHEDIOHA, CON, KSC AND STATEMENT OF COMMITMEMT AT THE LAUNCH OF IMO STATE HIV ART SURGE RESPONSE.

10th December 2019

PROTOCOL

It is with every sense of duty that we are gathered today to address a matter that is of a very special concern to us as a State. We are here to launch another phase of the fight against the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the State. Indeed, according to John Locke, the English Political Philosopher, “The welfare of the people, is the supreme law.” This principle, somehow is the guiding light of the “Rebuild Imo Agenda” of the present Imo State government. We are disheartened by the statistical report on the prevalence of HIV in the state. As a responsible government, we are challenged to doing something about it.

2. We are aware, that on the 14th of March, this year, President Muhammadu Buhari released the report of the recently concluded National AIDS Indicator Impact Survey (NAIIS 2018). According to the report, HIV prevalence in Nigeria reduced from a previous
3.0 percent to 1.4, going by Antenatal Sero-prevalence Surveys conducted in the 36 states and the FCT in 2014. Sadly, Imo State was among the seven priority states which contributed to over 60 percent of the burden of HIV in Nigeria. Indeed, HIV prevalence in Imo State, even though it showed a significant reduction from the 2014 average of 3.0 percent, the State’s 1.8 percent prevalence rate was far above the national average of 1.4 percent. This is not acceptable.

3. Sequel to this report, we quickly mobilized resources and immediately charged the Ministry of Health and engaged the of our partner agencies to address this trend. The immediate result is that the State has already been able to find and place on treatment about 16,000 PLHIVs. Certainly we are committed to achieving the USAIDS target of 90:90:90 which aims at controlling the epidemic by September 2020. It involves a concerted push for epidemic control, tagged HIV ART Surge. This is a battle we are committed to fight and one, we are prepared to win.

4. To this effect, therefore, the Imo State Government makes the following STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT.

i. We are committed to finding the yet be identified 38,000 Persons Living with HIV and to put same on life-saving Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) until Undetectable viral level equals Un-transmissible (U = U). We also pledge to give due attention to the recommendations of the ART Surge Consortium that will assist in finding the over 38,000 persons.

ii. Consequently, I mandate all MDAs and institutions - including the Universities and polytechnics – to ensure the sensitization of their staff, students and wards on the need to know their HIV status. Being mindful of the metropolitan nature of our Universities, I urge them to serve as gatekeepers in this health service efforts by screening all year-one students using the risk stratification checklist and appropriate referral.

iii. We hereby, also declare zero tolerance to all forms of stigma and discrimination of persons living with HIV. Similarly, the State will the procurement of all the necessary kits and consumables as provisions have already been made in the 2020 Budget.
iv. I would like to underscore the key role and partnership of the Local Government Councils in the funding of processes required for the identification and placing on treatment of the target persons. Indeed, all the 38,000 persons we are seeking to reach, in the end, are spread across the Local Government Areas of the State. So, the Local Governments must the efforts.
v. Above all, Government hereby abolishes all fees and charges of any kind for HIV services. Subsequently, the State government, in partnership with the Local Government Councils, shall provide funds for direct payment to all facilities recognized for providing HIV services in the state. Any health worker in the recognized facilities found to charge fees for HIV services would be penalised.
vi. Furthermore, we hereby mandate as well as appeal to all pregnant women to attend ante-natal clinics and get an HIV test to know their status. In the same vein, all HIV positive pregnant women shall, henceforth, be required to deliver in health facilities. This is to ensure the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and that no child in Imo state, henceforth would be born with HIV.
vii. At this juncture, I urge the consortium to develop the modalities and strategies for the implementation of these commitments. In furtherance of this, we invite all public spirited individuals, philanthropists and organisations at home and in the diaspora, to and partner with the State Government in this HIV/AIDS control response.

5. On the strength of the foregoing, it is, therefore, my pleasure to formally launch the IMO STATE HIV ART SURGE RESPONSE.

6. Finally, on behalf of the people and government of Imo State, we convey our sincere gratitude to the USAID, the US Embassy, the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Caritas – Nigeria and other great associates in this grand partnership. Rest assured that we shall do everything within our powers to achieve the set target in this all-important campaign.

7. I thank you all for your attention and God bless.

This shows that most Nigerians are compound fools. Where was this idiotic Ihedioha Youth Movement (IYM) group when the dude was out of office as deputy speaker?

It was created shortly after.

Sonnyboom:
So foolish Igbo can reap where they sow bit your father n you will be wailing terribly when BYO are reaping where they sow. Beside, is this how cursed Igbos have been reaping Igbo Commonwealth into the shithole no living thing want to stay back in ?!

How can you reap commonwealth by praises alone? I believe in what the government is doing. The only thing I know it will cost is time asides that, no indigene of Imo state is complaining.

You would have to wait. It's barely a month since they started working.

Hizzy:
Paid to praise
That's the movement

The movement worked for his victory. It's not a crime to reap from where you sow.

Ihedioha Youth Movement, Lauds Ihedioha on Massive Roads Reconstruction in Imo

Prince C.C Nwaogu
with Mathew Iheanachor

A group under the auspices of Ihedioha Youth Movement (IYM) has lauded the governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha for fulfilling his Campaign promise of dualizing roads in the State.

In a release in Owerri, by the Spokesman of the group Anyanwu Chinemerem and made available to journalist, the group thanked the Governor for his giant strides in infrastructural development.

The release read in part "We must sincerely thank the working Governor of Imo State Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha for keeping to his promises of putting an end to the nightmares of motorists in Imo as a result of deplorable road conditions in the State. The ongoing dualization of Nekede Ihiagwa road is one of the best thing that is currently happening in Imo State today which has no doubt caused a lot of havoc prior before now.

We are more than convinced that you will do more as you have always done, Ihedioha Youth's Movement are proud to have you as our principal. We will continue to , pray and also work for the Government in every capacity that maybe deemed fit for us".

It would be recalled that in a space of 100 Days in Office, Governor Ihedioha kicked off massive roads constructions in the States.

iluvdonjazzy:
Budget of looting, by looting and for looting.

You mean to say that there's no good man in this country?.

AKswift:
Okay, this is looking good on paper! With capital expenditure gulping 54% of the budget and recurrent expenditure to MDAs heading south, shows good fiscal management.

The governor should work on reducing overhead (staffing) recurrent cost, while improving on workers’ productivity. There are so much redundancies in our civil service system, which breeds laziness and underperformance among state workers. If the state governors look into this, the overhead recurrent side of our budget would be greatly improved upon.

Thank you very much for your critical analysis.

REBUILD IMO - BUDGET ONE.

BEING AN ADDRESS BY THE GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE, RT. HON. EMEKA IHEDIOHA CON, KSC, ON IMO STATE GOVERNMENT 2020 BUDGET PRESENTATION TO THE IMO STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, OWERRI, IMO STATE, NIGERIA.

Wednesday, November 27th 2019.

PROTOCOL

Today marks a very significant step in our Rebuild Imo Project. I am therefore, honoured to appear in this hallowed chambers and before this Honourable House to present the maiden Budget of this istration. The Budget has been appropriately tagged “Rebuild Imo – Budget One.”

2. Mr. Speaker, Honourable , the State of colossal ruins this government met upon the inception of our istration is no longer news. It was an all-round devastation spanning every facet of infrastructure, public utilities, health, education, industry and the public service to mention but a few. Imo State was like a pariah state avoided by investors, ignored by international donor agencies and denigrated by national agencies. Last year, the State was among few States in Nigeria that could not qualify to receive $18m World Bank grants due to absence of transparency and ability in governance. Reports upon reports lamented the unwillingness of the then Government to work with constitutionally approved structures of governance, its lack of due process and resort to ad hoc and episodic approaches to governance. This came along with it a huge loss in investor confidence and absence of international development assistance.

3. Consequently, at the momentous event of our inauguration nearly six months ago, we pledged to rebuild the state and to restore the old glory. Equally, we affirmed to serve the good people of Imo State with honesty, transparency and the fear of God. We also expressed our abiding faith in the fundamental tenets of democracy which includes separation of powers, checks and balances as well as respect for the independence of the three arms of government.

4. Mr. Speaker, Honourable , I am glad to report that we have not wavered on that pledge. Consequently, I am here today, in keeping with the Constitutional requirement to present to this Honourable House, the Budget proposal for 2020. As you are all aware, prior to our inauguration, we began by harnessing our huge human and economic resources to set a clear path in the rebuilding process. We had set up a high powered Transition Technical Committee (TTC) comprising very distinguished ladies and gentlemen from both within the state and the diaspora. These resource persons met and articulated a possible development path.

5. Consequently, government set out a vision to elevate Imo to become one of the top three state economies in Nigeria by 2025 and ranked within Africa’s top ten economies by 2030. To this effect, we are leveraging the abundant human capital and natural endowments of the State to build an economy anchored on good governance, ability, wealth creation, rule of law and sound management of state resources. We have also mapped out a Short-term Plan involving, some quick-wins, particularly restoration of critical infrastructure, public utilities and security. In the same vein, we activated the State Health Insurance Scheme.

6. Furthermore, we have set up a structure for transparency and ability in the governance process. On this score, I signed the Executive Order 005, known as Treasury Single (TSA) Order. The essence is to consolidate all government revenues under one . Similarly, we have signed to implement the International Public Sector ing Standards (IPSAS). These measures are designed to plug leakages and increase Internally Generated Revenues (IGR) in the State coffers.

7. Mr. Speaker, Honourable , I am very glad to inform you that works have commenced on 25 critical roads across the State. Also recently we awarded portions of five major roads leading into the State capital. These roads are the Owerri-Orlu Road, Owerri-Okigwe Road, Owerri-Obowo Road, Owerri-Aba Road and the Owerri-Port Harcourt Road. Notably, these roads are federal roads but impact the ease of movement and doing business in the State hence our intervention. In all, about N40Billion is being committed to these projects. Likewise we have awarded contract for the construction of Oguta link road to connect the Oguta Lake Resort to enhance access to this international tourism haven.

8. Mr. Speaker, we have also paid attention to the rural road construction. Essentially, we have harnessed resources and paid N500Million counterpart funding to the World Bank and so attracted N13.5 billion from the Bank, under its Rural Access and Mobility Project (RAMP). A cumulative distance of 380.7 kilometers are already under construction across 26 local government areas under this programme.

9. Similarly, we have given priority attention to the security of lives and property in the State. The Operation Iron Gate is on course and has significantly brought down the level of insecurity we met at the inception of this istration. In this regard, we have directly engaged special units of security agencies including anti-cult and anti-kidnapping units. We have also held security summits on flash points in the State and mapped out special policing strategies for the areas. Likewise we have activated an emergency call centre which has enhanced rapid response to security alerts. In the same manner we have acquired special gadgets to help forestall the menace of these undesirable elements in our society. Currently, we are effectively participating in a collaborative manner with sister states in the South East towards strengthening regional security. Tellingly, we are coordinating this effort.

10. As a government and a people, we have lofty plans for sports development in the State. This is borne out of the well-established pedigree of Imolites as national sporting icons. We are also mindful of the huge sporting potentials amongst our people and are determined to mine these talents to the overall benefit of the State. On this score, we are investing heavily in upgrading our sports infrastructure such as the rehabilitation of Dan Anyiam and the Grasshoppers’ stadia. We are also partnering with the local governments in the construction of 27 mini-stadia in the Local Government Areas. Drawing from these investments into sports infrastructure, we would be bidding to host the National Sports Festival for 2022.

11. As I indicated in my inauguration address, we have commenced the rebuilding and upgrading of the four technical colleges in the State under our Technical & Vocational Education Training (TVET) programme. The beneficiary institutions include Government Technical College Owerri, Ahiara Technical College, Government Technical College Okporo, Orlu and Government Technical College, Osu, Mbano. Our target is that by 2020 we should have hit 60 percent mark of post-Basic students as enrolees in the TVET system.

12. In the same vein, we are giving attention to capacity building in technology. For instance, we facilitated training of 200 teachers in Microsoft office and basic internet skills by Digital Bridge Institute – a training arm of the Nigerian Communications Commission – NCC. Similarly, we are in collaboration with Leo Stan Eke Foundation for the training of 5400 Imo Youths in information technology. So far 2300 youths from 13 Local Governments of the State have benefitted from the training. An additional 3100 beneficiaries for the remaining Local Government Areas would proceed for the training in due course.

13. Other investments in this sector include training of 250 women in partnership with Microsoft on Computer Coding and Web development, most of whom have already gained employment. Others include 100 Imolites on artificial intelligence and machine learning in partnership with 6-Factor, a California-based tech company. Similarly 2000 youths have been trained on financial technology, in collaboration with e-Transact and Iwuanyanwu Foundation. These programmes are meant to make our people acquire globally competitive skills and therefore more employable. So far, 500 Imo Youths have been trained in sustainable agricultural skills.

14. Mr. Speaker, Honourable , I am glad to inform you today that what seemed impossible a few months ago has been resolved. Here, I refer to the pension debacle. We have reformed our pension istration system, developed a credible pension data-base following a painstaking verification exercise. Notably, this action has saved Imo State approximately N280m monthly. Accordingly, we have commenced payment of pension arrears.

15. It is pertinent to state that payment of salaries and pensions remains the bulk of our recurrent expenditure. Indeed about N3.5b (70% of an estimated N5b from the monthly FAAC receipts) is spent on salaries and pensions. These figures are significantly higher than what was expended by the previous istration, primarily because while they paid workers a reduced sum based on an arbitrary percentage of their earnings and owed pensions, we have not only commenced payment of pension arrears, but also full payment of workers entitlements.

16. My fellow compatriots, following these various strategic reforms and fiscal responsibility interventions, Imo State is now in the Open Governance Partnership League. This thus qualifies us for performance-based grants of the World Bank States Fiscal Transparency, ability and Sustainability (SFTAS) programme. As a result of these measures, Imo State has gained positive image in the international community and multilateral development institutions.

17. PROFILE OF THE 2020 BUDGET
Mr. Speaker, Honorable , having reviewed the activities of our Government thus far, may I at this point present to you the year 2020 budget dubbed “Rebuild Imo – Budget One”. Clearly, the 2020 budget will be our first full year of the commencement of the “Rebuild Imo” project.

18. MAJOR POLICY THRUST OF THE 2020 BUDGET
The 2020 budget proposal, which encapsulates government’s political, economic and social development and strategies, therefore aims at giving the citizenry a sense of belonging. The proposal is aimed at restoring confidence in Government and our people, rebuilding our dilapidated infrastructure and putting the State on a pedestal for sustainable economic development. This will focus on road infrastructure, improving on the ‘ease of doing business’ and social infrastructure – education, health services, water, sanitation and the like.
The 2020 Budget is anchored on our manifesto, the TTC report as well as recommendations of the various Commissions of Enquiries that have turned in their findings.
At this point, I reiterate that our istration owes as a duty the prudent and judicious use of State resources, respect for rule of law, as well as ensuring ability and transparency in all projects, programmes and activities.

19. FOCUS OF THE 2020 PROPOSED BUDGET
The 2020 budget is six-pronged, thusly:

• Rebuilding Infrastructure – especially roads and smart electricity sub-sector.

• Agriculture – by laying the groundwork for sustainable agriculture.

• Health delivery – with focus on health insurance, primary healthcare and cleaner environment.

• Human Capital Development – especially technological advancement, technical education, Women and Youth empowerment etc.

• Ease of Doing Business (EoDB).

• Job/Wealth Creation and Youth Empowerment.

These six-planks of the budget will be achieved through:

• Enhancement of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR)

• Aggressive road reconstruction programmes

• Enabling environment for private sector investment

• Smart Public Private Sector Partnerships

• Capacity building especially for the youth, provision of Agricultural inputs and development of agricultural infrastructure.

• Mutually beneficial State – Local Governments partnerships

• Health insurance, primary healthcare and cleaner environment.

20. Basic Assumption of the 2020 budget

A. MACRO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Mr. Speaker, Honourable of the State Assembly, the 2020 Budget is predicated on the following assumptions:

• FGN’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP).

• FGN’s adoption of an oil price benchmark of US$57 per barrel, daily oil production estimate of 2.18 mbpd and an exchange rate of N305 per US Dollar for 2020.

• National Growth of 2.93% in 2020, driven largely by non-oil output, as economic diversification accelerates, and the enabling business environment improves. However, inflation is expected to remain slightly above single digits in 2020.

• FGN’s increase of the VAT rate from 5% to 7.5%. As such, the 2020 Appropriation Bill is based on this new VAT rate. The VAT Act already exempts pharmaceuticals, educational items, and basic commodities, which exemptions we are expanding under the Finance Bill, 2019.

B. REVENUE

I. Given the very fact the IGR is the sine quo non to budget success, the 2020 Budget has a total budgeted recurrent revenue of N140,330,473,912, representing 71% of the budget.

C. RECURRENT EXPENDITURE
PERSONNEL COST
Very much unlike the 2019 budget that has N15,304,901,626 as personnel cost for Ministries , the proposed 2020 budget has N 8,949,496,411 as its personnel cost which represents a 41.5% reduction in Personnel Cost.

OVERHEAD COST
The overhead cost in the proposed 2020 budget will relatively increase to N 34,702,219,005 from the N17,112,658,110 that was approved in the 2019 budget. This is also as a result of increase in government activities, restoration of full workers’ salaries, allowances and the observance of the principle of separation of power between the three arms of government. We also restored the autonomy of the Local Government istration. However, stringent measures will be taken to cut expenditures by Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs).
In summary, the Recurrent expenditure is N 91,377,822,129 . However, this figure includes the repayment to FGN on debts including bailouts funds and rescheduled service of bonds.

Our capital expenditure is N 106,229,450,200 which represents 53.8% of the proposed budget. This is a welcomed development in an era where many other istrations have well below 40% in capital expenditure. It goes without saying that capital expenditure drives development and growth.

The Consolidated Revenue Fund Charges (CRFC) will remain the same with the 2019 budget provision at N 16,303,247,101.

21. SUMMARY OF THE 2020 BUDGET
Mr. Speaker, Honorable , after a painstaking review of impactful variables, a total budget of N 197,607, 272,328 (One Hundred And Ninety- Seven Billion, Six Hundred And Seven Million, Two Hundred And Seventy-Two Thousand , Three Hundred And Twenty-Eight Naira) Is proposed. The budget is appropriately dubbed “Rebuild Imo – Budget One”.

People are HUNGRY SHAAAA

How do you uplift yourself from hunger. Is it by sitting at him with 200 naira data and a cracked phone screen.

Youths are engaging actively in politics and reaping the dividends of democracy.

I have this to say about IMO State because falsehood means backwardness.
Take your time to analyze information, filter and identify facts. There are a good number of road projects on going in and out of Owerri.
Please allow good people do good work.

During this month I have seen so many doctors, private and government all they do is givr me drugs but I still experience the pneumonia cold( no cough) and occasional mouth sores as well as the rash. My boyfriend now my ex took HIV too it was negative.
Please doctors in the house what can this be. I have read so many threads here on naira land of people who had same experience but some later turned + they might be lying though.

I heard after 6 months and test is still negative then its not it. My question now is. What is wrong with me. I have spent so much on drugs and test. And no doctor is able to say what my problem is. Its making me crazy as I am even scared to shower because of the cold and I can't let people see my body due to rash.

I need help.

It's simply STD that has stayed long in your body. Do well to go for culture test and others alike. Hurry now or it may damage ur body.

When you are being praised it means you are appreciated. It's only natural because it's been about a decade of rot.

Very foolish and useless occultic mbaise man. This has nothing to offer us in imo state except sponsoring the use ipobs criminals and terrorists.

I know what you are going through.

You have to take charge and get control back from her.

Get a DNA test done ASAP

Don't hit her but use the power of the tongue to subdue her

In time you may feel almost nothing for her, then she will crave you because you have conquered her.

If the child is yours travel with her. If it's not yours run for your dear life.

Speaking from a little experience.

That structure collapsed on its own due to the substandard nature of the materials used in building it with little or no fortifications. people have confirmed it already. Nobody touched it. Stop peddling wrong information.

Information is power. Please never stop to correct misinformation.

The governor is busy fighting okorocha ,looking for where okorocha kept some old funitures

Your followup on this matter is one-sided. The government is working on all angles at once. Please don't bring hate to this new government.

If she has ever said "baby Faster" and you increased your thrusting speed you have no right to condemn this guy.

Very true. As long as a woman makes demands and you obey without complaining. It's just the extent your will to do that differs.

Imo1stson:
