The Southeast Governors have been advised to use their
positions to fix roads in the region as well as stabilize power generation, in
order to attract industrialization...
The President of Umuimo Connect, Mr.
Ndubuisi Emenike, stated this, Tuesday, to Vanguard in Owerri, while reacting
to the various challenges facing Ndigbo in Nigeria. He argued that with the
provision of steady power supply and road infrastructure businesses would be
boosted in the region. According to Emenike, “If you don’t know, it is only
when we fix the Power and have good road network in the Southeast region that
will make our brothers and sisters come back and develop our region. Let me say
this, power generation and standard road system will solve the problem of
Ndigbo. “We are very good in business and with good roads and power, the
commercial activities will increase and there will be efficiency in production
of goods and services. “Here this, do you know that our brothers who are doing
business in the southeast region are running their generator set for 24 hours
and it is difficult for them to grow their businesses. “In a situation, we have
sufficient power supply and well connected road system, both at the rural and
urban areas, the resultant effect, is that it will boost economic activities at
the rural areas and help local economies develop. “When we have these things put
in place, you will agree with me that the money used for things like running a
generator set will be used to support their businesses to grow. “Another
benefit is that, it will reduce the cost of production and bring down the
prices of commodities. By doing so, the level of suffering will be addressed
and people will begin to live up to the standard.”
