Gov. Umahi Has Constructed 23 Flyovers In Less Than Seven Years Of Being In Office - Nwaze | #IgbereTV

Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State has constructed 23 Flyovers in less than seven years, says Nwaze Francis, Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.

Speaking with IGBERE TV, Nwaze said Governor Umahi’s istration has constructed more than 10 flyovers, there are 13 flyovers and 10 of the flyovers are double, which means Ebonyi has a total of 23 flyovers. One of the flyovers is 30 span, about 500m while another one has 6 entries and exits.

According to Nwaze, "However, it should be understood that these flyovers are just a part of many other infrastructural, economic and educational transformations that are ongoing in Ebonyi State as the state takes pride in building the biggest and arguably the best and most beautiful Shopping mall in Nigeria - we call it the microcosm of the macrocosm of the Dubai Mall, the biggest and most beautiful international market that is fully deployed, the best and most beautiful University of Medical Sciences and hospital, an ongoing outstanding international airport, over 600 roads constructed on 8 inches concrete pavement, ongoing construction of an Olympic stadium, regular payment of civil servants, massive empowerment for the youths, farmers and widows; massive care for the less privileged, jobs creation and employment, security of lives and property, etc."

"I also informed him that nothing has been done by Umahi’s istration that depicts any form of segregation of any zone or council areas as Governor Umahi believes in Ebonyi State as a state and not a segmented Ebonyi State. As the larger we are in unity, the better. This is equally his believe in Nigeria - a one united Nigeria."

"It is best to say that Ebonyi State has become the rejected stone that is becoming the chief cornerstone as no stone is left unturned under Governor David Umahi."

"After the above response, he lacked words for some time but later opined that in Umahi, a vibrant, active, and uniting president will emerge in 2023."

Gov. Umahi Condemns Killing Of Youths By Suspected Ebubeagu In Ebonyi (Photos) | #IgbereTV

... Says Perpetrators Of The Dastardly Act Will Face The Full Wrath Of The Law

Governor David Nweze Umahi of Ebonyi State has condemned the recent hostility in Akaeze, Ivo Local Government Area which has led to loss of lives, Igbere TV reports.

Governor Umahi condemned the incident when he paid an on-the-spot visit to Akaeze to assess the level of carnage as a result of the violence on Monday.

Governor Umahi frowned at the needles burning of the Akaeze Police Station and property of the Chairman of Ivo Local Government Area as well as a Development Centre Coordinator by the irate youths.

He directed the prompt arrest of those involved in the dastardly act captured in the video which has been circulating on the social media where ax-wielding persons were seen using the weapon on a human being to underscore the sanctity of human lives.

"I feel so sad over the couple of incidences that happened in this place. In the first place, I condemn the viral video that was making round where somebody was using an axe on a fellow human being, my position is that life is sacred and all those people that did that, whether they are in Government, whether they are Ebubeagu, whether they are stakeholders must be prosecuted immediately.

"There is no reason in this matter that should warrant anybody to take law into their hands, at the end of time we are going to be able to God.

“It is important to note that Ebubeagu is a security outfit backed by law and it will not be disbanded but any Ebubeagu member that violates the law will go in for it.

"The law on Ebubeagu is very clear, just like there are bad elements in other security forces and within the society, there may be bad eggs in Ebubeagu but my position is that the bad eggs in Ebubeagu must be identified and removed. Ebubeagu is doing very beautiful work, they are helping the police, they are helping the Army, but we have a procedure, when you have the right within the limit of the law to arrest people, you have to hand them over to the Police immediately and it stops there, you are not even permitted to torture them not to talk of killing them but you have the right of self-defense and the evidence must be there and overwhelmingly and so what happened here did not make me happy.

"Two wrongs must never make a right, the seven people that masterminded this must be arrested and prosecuted, I am not the Governor of one Party, I am the Governor of all parties, and most importantly I am able to God."

While directing the demobilization of all gun-carrying non-security persons in the area, Governor Umahi also called for a step-up in security presence and surveillance to avert reoccurrence.

He called on Ebonyi Youths to shun involvement in criminalities and embrace peace for orderliness in the society.

"Let me warn all the youth to be very careful about taking laws into their hands, if they commit a murder case and it is before me, I will sign their execution."

The Officer-in-charge of Akaeze Police Station, ASP John Okereke while narrating the event of the burning down of the Police Station, said some of the perpetrators are heart-hardened criminals who already had cases in the Station.

The Nigerian Film Corporation (NFC) led by it's Managing Director, Dr. Chidia Maduekwe and the Federal Capital Territory istration (FCTA) has today signed a Memorandum of  Understanding (MoU) to collaborate to host the Zuma Film Festival. 

The Zuma film festival was established by the NFC established in line with its mandate to develop and promote the film industry.The festival features a series of events that serves as a platform for the African Film industry in line with Nigeria’s status as the largest film market in Africa. 

During the g ceremony held at conference room office of the Minister of State (FCT) ,Ramatu Tijani Aliyu who was represented at the g ceremony by the FCT Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olusade Adesola, commended the idea behind the collaboration which was initiated in 2019, describing it as a Milestone, stating that asides revenue generation the Festival will create employment opportunities for youths in the FCT  and reduce crime rate.

Speaking on behalf of the FCT Minister, Olusade emphasised that the partnership hosting of the Zuma Film Festival will boost the tourism as well as entertainment potentials of the Nation's capital.

He said ; "The creative industry is a significant component of our economy. In 2020 statistics has it that the creative industry contributed 730 Billion naira to the Nigerian GDP this is equivalent to about 1.8 Billion US Dollars. If you  consider this contribution of this creative industry alone ; you know its significance. Because we have been planning this for a very long time.
"On the assumption of President Buahri in office, he assigned MDA's with priorities and mandates that must be achieved. Included in their mandate is the need to improve or initiate strong partnership with the private sector for massive creation of employment. 

"The Federal Government can't employ everyone but one way to achieve this is through a partnership that works like what we are witnessing today.  Besides revenue generation there are other beneficial areas of this partnership which are immense, during the week of this Festival crime rates will reduce because a lot of youths will be engaged . 

Also speaking on Funding of the Festival Olusade mentioned that the funding for the Festival has been included in the FCTA's 2022 budget.

In his address Dr. Chidia highlighted reasons behind the collaboration saying that it will shape the creative economic activities within the nation’s capital, Abuja, and the country at large.

According to Chidia, the collaboration which was first proposed by the NFC in 2019 is expected to generate $5 million (₦2.5 billion) in direct revenue from merchandising, in addition to tax revenue in excess of $2 million (₦1 billion). He added  that the revenues can be achieved through  interest and traffic generation for increased film production shoot within the FCT.   

The NFC Boss also announced that the 2021 ZUMA Film Festival, earlier scheduled to hold between 1st – 7th December, 2021 has been shifted to 2nd – 9th April, 2022.

"It has long been our desire for NFC, in line with our aspiration to use the Zuma film festival to galvanize the creative sector of the nation’s economy. Also, it is predicated on our patriotic commitment to situate Abuja (Centre of Unity) and Nigeria within the comity of film production cities/ nations. 

"Today’s designation of Abuja as the official host city of Nigeria’s official and foremost film festival is in line with best global practices. We have once more demonstrated our collective will as a government to sustain the much needed synergy in efforts and actions, Chidia said.

He emphasised that the  journey of the Zuma film festival since its debut, and a total rebrand has been steady and progressive. Maduekwe said the aim of NFC since he assumed office to ensure sustained improvement has seen the film festival grow in content and participation. He pointed out that domestic and foreign participation, physical and virtual, including the volume of collaborative partnerships have equally increased over time. 

Shedding more light on the benefits of the partnership deal, Chidia expressed it will bring Zuma Film Festival deeper into the global film festival platform of the INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FILM PRODUCERS ASSOCIATIONS (FIAPF), a global organization representing the film production community, and key operator for film festival worldwide. He said the Zuma Film Festival has continued to attract more domestic and international attention and attendance. The NFC Boss urged other  government agencies and parastatals to the Nigerian Film Corporation to progress. According to hin in the nearest future city of Abuja can be comparable with cities like Los Angeles – California and Asian Tiger cities and Durban in South Africa. 

In area of Job creation Chidia unveiled the plans of the NFC to escalate the conversation of establishing a film entrepreneurial hub in FCT. 

"This entrepreneurial hub when established will train over 2000 youths on quarterly basis from the FCT in film business and entrepreneurship with direct positive impact on youth unemployment.

"ZUMA film festival creates direct and auxiliary jobs within the period it is held annually.  One of its major outcome and output is in ing federal governments’ policy of creating jobs to lift over 100 million Nigerians out of poverty. This t collaboration therefore can be viewed as further stimulating economic growth by contributing to job creation and poverty reduction.

In his concluding remarks Dr. Chidia thanked the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Alhaji Mohammed Musa Bello , Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu for considering and accepting the invitation for the partnership, and the formal designation of ABUJA as the official host city for Zuma Film Festival. 

Chidia also thanked President Mohammadu Buhari and Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Hon. Minister of Information & Culture, for their .

Congratulations To the best online radio.

Exposing The Youths To Leadership : The Umahi’s Example

One of the most quoted lines is, "The youths are the leaders of tomorrow". Many people have questions about that assertion owing to the bleak future faced by the youths. If the youths are truly the leaders of tomorrow and not rhetoric leaders, leaders in every aspect of life have the duty to make conscious efforts to actualize this.

The future holds dreams and promises for the youths. This can be achieved through dedication, perseverance, hard work, proper education, and words of wisdom. Youths do not grow in isolation but by following paths laid down by their elders: parents, guardians, teachers, leaders, etc.

It is imperative to note that a flower that is not properly tendered while growing, is bound to grow wild. The resultant effect is that rather than beautifying the environment, it will constitute nuisance to people. Thus, when the youths are overlooked and abandoned, they often become the antithesis of what society expects them to be and become an anathema.

The advice of the elders, policies of the government, acts of omission, and commission by the youth go a long way to stimulate in the youth the need to dream big and achieve their dreams.

The transitional age between youth and adulthood is the most challenging especially to the government. The values and morals instilled in them go a long way in determining what most of them will become in the future. They are either motivated to succeed or perish in their ignorance.

According to Benjamin Disraeli, "the youths of a nation are the trustees of posterity".

How do you then entrust the posterity of a nation to a disgruntled or disorganized group of people? This is where wisdom on the part of the leaders comes to play. And Gov. Umahi rose (and he is still rising) to the challenge by:

1. APPOINTMENT OF YOUTHS INTO HIS CABINET
Before the coming of Engr. Umahi as the Governor of Ebonyi State, the stories of the youths in the state were that of thuggery, extortion, school dropouts, gatekeepers, house-made, people with no academic and leadership future. Wherever robbery or other vices are mentioned, people are quick to allege that such were perpetrated by the teeming Ebonyi youth scattered at every busy corner of the 36 states and Abuja.

Upon his takeover of the reigns of government in Ebonyi, Gov. Umahi constituted his cabinet made up of a greater percentage of youths. While some served as Commissioners, a large majority served as Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants, Executive Assistants, Senior Technical Assistants, Technical Assistants, etc. Others were appointed to boards and parastatals.

To show his love for the youth population of Ebonyi State, most of the Development Centres Coordinators are youths

2. ESTABLISHING THE KING DAVID GIFTED ACADEMY
The Bible onished that children should be trained well so that when they grow up, they will not depart from that good path. It is therefore a clarion call to every leader to put in place, policies and programs that would direct the attention of the young ones away from the vices in the society.

It was the Greek philosopher, Diogenes who said:
"The foundation of every state is the education of its youth".
Gov. Umahi having witnessed the stereotyping of Ebonyi people as semi-humans and using other derogatory adjectives to describe them, decided to bring succor to parents whose wards are divinely gifted but could not afford the cost of quality secondary education. The idea for the King David Gifted Academy is to raise brilliant kids who would become future leaders in every sense of it. Thus, Ebonyi is aspiring to recreate Bennet Omalu, Philip Emeagwali, Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Chinua Achebe, Nnamdi Azikiwe, etc

3. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
Outside the appointment of Ebonyi youths into political positions, Gov. Umahi had empowered 520 Ebonyians, hawking in the streets of Lagos, empowered hundreds of people with tricycles, empowered the Widows and civil servants with a large sum of money, and On July 29, 2021, forty (40) Ebonyi youths were made millionaires with some of them going home with 5m while others went home with 1.5m. This is outside other forms of empowerment like gifting of cars, farm inputs, etc. During the handover of the cheques to the beneficiaries, Umahi said:
"We are doing everything possible to see how we can get our people to do something with their hands. That is the only way that this state can grow. It can only grow with all of us committing ourselves to work hard and then getting small businesses, and then, we can employ others".

When most Governors and leaders in Nigeria were unaware of step(s) to take after the #EndSARS protest that rocked the foundations of the country, Gov. Umahi was the first to convoke a youth summit. During the summit, he launched an N3billion Youth Empowerment Programme. Pragmatic leaders are proactive, and Umahi has proved that he is ahead of his mates.

4. GRANTING OF SOFT LOANS TO YOUTHS FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES
Agriculture has become the bedrock of many societies in this 21st century. Gone are the days when farmers are regarded as poor, and farming left in the hands of the elderly. Mechanized farming has ensured that any human can invest in agriculture irrespective of age. However, the bottleneck has always been the non-availability of start-up funds.

Gov. Umahi has made it clear from the outset, that he would like every Ebonyi youth to be engaged in one job, career, or business. He understood that when they are engaged, they will not be enticed to go into any form of crime but would help to safeguard the state. Furthermore, it would ensure that there is food sufficiency in the State.

He has matched his talk with actions through the provision of soft loans for Ebonyi youths who are interested in agriculture.

5. NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH/EBUBE-AGU REGIONAL SECURITY
That Ebonyi is one of the safest states in the country is not by default. A price was paid, and gain made.

Before the constituting of the regional security, Ebube-Agu Security Network, Gov. Umahi had constituted the vigilance group, the Neighbourhood Watch to provide security for the state. Gov. Umahi provided an avenue for a symbiotic relationship between his istration and the youth through security. Whereas the youths help in providing security, the government in return pays them for their efforts.

By dint of conscious efforts, Gov. Umahi has become the greatest youth-friendly Governor among his contemporaries. This has in no small way ensured that idle minds that would have been used to foment troubles are properly engaged.
