Deputy governor, Chief Ebere Udeagu, stressed that government alone cannot develop the state, pointing out that all citizens wherever they reside, must join hands to continue to move the state forward. He spoke while commissioning the Imo on-line project at the Alvan Ikoku College of Education (AICE), Owerri. Commending the efforts of Messrs. Ike Ibe and Godwin Nwogwugwu, two Imo citizens who made the on-line project a reality, Chief Udeagu recalled that the state government had made frantic efforts for the federal government to take over AICE to no avail. He charged the students to work hard in order to win the prize already set up by the initiator of the Imo on-line project. The deputy governor also urged the school to ensure proper use and protection of the outfit for the benefit of all. In his address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Project Monitoring, Ogbuagu Bons Nwabiani, stated that the idea to attract grants to the state was mooted in the United States (US) by the two, Ibe, who is the Imo State Trade Representative in Washington DC, and Mr. Godwin Nwogwugwu, an employee of World Bank’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Department and president of Young Professionals Forum of the US. He expressed satisfaction that Imo State at large and the AICE community in particular had been launched into the information super highway for full internet connectivity with the on-line project. Also speaking, Provost of AICE, Prof. Ngozi Uwazurike, noted that the project evolved through the Grant Agreement between the US and Imo State Trade Centre. He stated that the college, through the Education Tax Fund (ETF) provided the infrastructure and the work stations, the state government provided the network implementation. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
