Obiano Lays the Foundation Stone for West Africa Inter-Continental Trade Centre

In a strategic move to implement his Four Pillars of Development, Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has laid the foundational cornerstone for the proposed multi-million dollar West Africa Inter-Continental Trade Centre to be built in Ogbunike, Oyi Local Government of the state.

The proposed Trade Center is a major component of the Trade and Commerce category of Governor Obiano’s Four Pillars of Development.

PRESS STATEMENT: Uzochukwu Ezenwanne does not Speak for Governor Obiano

Our attention has been drawn to a Facebook comment, purportedly authored by a certain Uzochukwu Ezenwanne, castigating President Goodluck Jonathan for failing the South East Region.

 In a bold move to give the three leading cities of Anambra State an outlook of modernity and shore up their social index, the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has launched three landmark initiatives that will change the face of the State.

  

The initiatives are the Anambra State City Cab Scheme, Operation Clean & Healthy Anambra (OCHA Brigade) and the Anambra State Traffic Management Agency (ATMA). Although Anambra State with its three major cities and pockets of urbanizing towns is the most developed state in the South East, residents have always complained of the absence of organized intra and inter-city taxis that will facilitate the movement of commuters inside and between the cities.
