Proprietor and Chief
Executive Officer of Rojenny Tourist Village, Oba, Anambra State Chief Rommy
Ezeonwuka has appealed to wealthy men of Igbo extraction to have a re-think
towards investing outside the south east region of the country.
Chief Ezeonwuka, the Ogirisi-Igbo
frowned at the magnitude the region’s wealth are scattered outside Igboland,
stressing that the recent victory by the region’s party, the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) in the Anambra governorship poll is such hope that can
speed up massive investment in the state if wealthy men from the region
redirect their investments towards the region.
He words: “We must
take their destiny in their hands and nobody will ever dictate or manipulate us
for selfish interest again. Let our moneybags invest their money in our land so
that our teeming jobless youths can get employed. I am not saying that Igbo
shall not invest in other region they find business conducive, but a situation
where an Igbo man invests over N10 billion outside his state without a kobo in
his state of origin is pure stupidity. There are things we must do to enable us
keep a legacy for up coming generation. A lot of our wealthy sons and daughters
have died, with their businesses falling apart due of lack of focus. Let our
sons and daughters in the Diaspora come back home and help build the region.
Today our institutions of learning are producing unemployable graduates who
lack the necessary skills to manage established companies. We must combine
skill acquisition in our school curriculum to avoid a situation where
illiterate graduates will continue to parade our cities with valueless
certificates.”
