REDUPLICATING SILICON VALLEY IN EDO STATE

Suggested by: IMORU, Austin

DEFINITION
The world today is on electronic speed train faster than any technology or development any century has ever witnessed. The 21st century is not just a global village any more, it is an information age. Information currently is the foundation on which global economy is built. Here in Edo State, we can maximise our ancient heritage and build huge trade out of it.

With this common sense idea, we can create the necessary, much needed jobs with our readily available means. If we dwell on the strength of what we have, we can build upon it and create what we need. Let’s access what we have in this State and then examine what we need. We will surely realise that we have more than we need.

BETTER AND CHEAPER HOUSING FACILITIES FOR ALL IN EDO STATE

Submitted by: IMORU, Austin

DEFINITION
It is a simple detailed idea that can help make housing facilities affordable by all citizens of the State. It is possible for all citizens of Edo State to have affordable decent shelters if certain policies are formulated and enforced in the State. The Government of Edo State can enact policies that will help alleviate the anguish of the Citizens of the State by ensuring that the housing facilities are affordable and commensurate with the present minimum wage.

This can be done without any financial bail-out on the side of the Government. A simple as well as a single policy can help provide affordable housing facilities and at the end of the day alleviate poverty in the State. This proposal is to help the Government see what they can possibly do to help the situation of housing facilities in the State. A policy statement which is vigorously enforced by the same can go a long way in solving one of the biggest challenges of basic social amenities in any city.

A word for Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia

I still do not understand why Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia is getting himself involved with these dirty politicians. Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia era will always be the reference mark in any State in Nigeria. I was in primary school those days when he was the Governor of the Old Bendel State. After years in US, I still cherries his achievement in the old Bendel State. He was exemplary leader. Please Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia maintain your dignity and stay away from these useless politician.
