OPUBOWATCH HAILS SIMs NEW ELECTRIFICATION FOR OPOBO...

Time has a way of addressing issues. And destiny they say maybe delayed but cannot be denied. It's on this strength we want to comment the recent plans to provide Opobo with a durable and stable power provision after over 30 years of relying on power generating plants.

Since two years now, power provision has been at the lowest ebb in Opobo and satelite communities. Not only has the 2000watts generating plants gone comatose, both the infrastructure has gone below what is needed in present Opobo Town to supply power.

One can recall that last December and January during the Alali festivals power provision was totally absent, as members of the kingdom Owugbo society had to use phone torch to lead masquerades at the town square.

Council authorities had raised alarm that the generation plants were almost going extinct since most parts of the plant was either old and could not sustain power. This sad situation not only smeared the celebrations, but brought sour image to the council.

It was based on this that the chairman had to make a clarion call urging for long term solution to the situation. Hon CookeyGam in one interview with Opubowatch pointed out that the generating plants were no longer feasible hence, a better alternative through linking to national grid or installing a gas turbine.

Today we are happy that the call has been heeded to as the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminialayi Fubara mandate State Ministry of Power to carry out feasibility studies on how to link Opobo to the national grid.

Though many believe that this is belated, we in Opubowatch consider this action as timely. It will not only save huge revenue sunk in fueling the generating plants in Opobo and over 15 satellite communities, it is our view that it will boost livelihood and economic activities in ONOLGA.

What is required now is urgent action. If the project is pursued with vigour, then by December it could be achieved. The power infrastructure in Opobo, especially those in the town cam help drive the speed of the new power project.

However, we wish to draw the attention of the authorities in charge of the project to take time and ensure that the shoddy job allegedly executed by the NDDC and National Power Commission stretching from Kpean to Opobo II should be discarded and reviewed. That job did not only fall short of standards but displayed high level of poor supervision and jerry built materials.

We therefore thank our dear governor and Opobo son, the council chairman, Opobo Alapu Council and indeed the Opobo Elderstatesmen for SIM for lobbying and ensuring that the project is approved.
WARIAPU OMIEBAM!

When I say Tourism and Culture is our biggest sell in Opobo I mean it. The world has turned into a global village, where each country and people are using thier comparative advantage to improve themselves and economy.

During the period of our great grand fathers Oil Palm was their comparative economy and foreigners came to buy from them.

Today the NWAOTAM, OWU masks, DANCES AND COLOURFUL FESTIVALS can be sold to attract a new economy. Its not enough that we use it to entertain ourselves and after two weeks we leave the kingdom empty for old folks children to stay.

Lets harness these unique culture. What is the LG authorities doing？ What is the Alapu and War Canoe Houses doing？ How do we reorganise our festiival calendar to attract tourists？

Remember we have a road now and besides that we have the ultimate political and economic advantage, our son the governor now. NOW IS THE TIME.
