From Onwuka Nzeshi in Warri, 12.07.2004
Governor James Ibori of Delta State, hascharged Nigerian Engineers to give the country a clearer industrial development vision hinged on the promotion of local content in vital sectors of our economy as that remained the only viable option for the emergence of a reliable and sustainable economy. Ibori, a goodwill message to the Nigerian Society of Engineer (NSE) at the opening ceremony of the societyís National Engineering conference and annual General meeting at the petroleum Training Institute, acknowledged the role of engineers the world over and challenged the society to endeavour to always have their members at the forefront of the nationís technological development. He remarked that one of the fundamental crises of underdevelopment in Nigeria was that in spite of our huge natural resources, the nation cannot boast of a corresponding level of technological development and a self reliant economy. "Nigerians want to see a rapid increase in local content, including manpower, every aspect of our lives. Your role in designed, Building, installing and maintaining all systems make your professions crucial to any effort that advances the economic well being of the people. "As long as we depend on other nations for required goods and services, so long shall our sustainable development and poverty eradication programmes defy solutions" Ibori told the mammoth crowd of engineers at the conference. He further appealed to the federal government to consider as priority the completion of the Warri Sapele Benin Road, the Ajaokuta/Itakpe/Aladja Railway Line Project as well as the dualisation of the South South Highway that links Delta State to other Key oil† producing and industrial center in the sub-region.
