Tony Nwoye Never Received Any Dime For The Building Of ICT /Innovation Centres

The attention of Sen. Dr. Tony Nwoye Media Center has been drawn to various comments and reactions pertaining to the ICT Innovation Hub which the people’s Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial District, Sen. Dr. Tony Nwoye deployed all the necessary legislative tools to get the job done at Aguleri and the other one ongoing at Okpoko in Ogbaru Local Government Area.

To this end, we state categorically that the phantom desperation and mischievous attempt by some people who want to earn some political fortune by misrepresenting facts either by comparing the hub vis-à-vis what Senator Abiru did for Lagos East Senatorial Zone is rather unfortunate and out of sheer ignorance.

This line of thought and basis of comparison flies in the face of logic and reasoning because what Dr. Tony Nwoye did for the community is not a constituency project for Anambra North.What Senator Tony Nwoye did was to go extra mile to get the project that was meant to be cited in CHATSSA South East Zone is executed in his constituency Anambra North Senatorial Zone.We wonder has this became a crime?

First, this Project was captured in 2023 Budget with Budget number and Title: ERGP202301053: CONSTRUCTION OF INNOVATION CENTRE IN CHATASSA SOUTH EAST GEO-POLITICAL ZONE.
The Project was awarded in May 2023 with the award Letter attached therein. Note that Dr Tony Nwoye was sworn in as a Senator on 13th June, 2023. So the Contract and Contractor has been there before his swearing in as a Senator. He never nominated the Contractor directly nor indirectly. This can be verified through The FG’s APP on Tracking of Constituency Project/Capital/FG’s Projects.

Those trying to appeal to the emotions of unsuspecting citizens with the false claim that Senators were given Money to construct Tech Hubs for their people should establish their claim by answering the pertinent question of who released the money and when?

The Contract is for the building of two ICT Centres, one in Aguleri and the other in Odekpe Community in Ogbaru Local Government area. Total contract amount is 99 Million Naira for the two Buildings, which means each building is less than 50 million inclusive of tax. While that of Senator Abiru is over one Billion naira.

The project Senator Abiru did for Lagos East was constructed in 2022 even before Dr Tony Nwoye became a Senator . So where is the news of the money given to the Senators to construct Tech Hub coming from?.

Please Note that no kobo has been released to Senator Tony Nwoye for any Federal Government project for any Computer/Innovation hub in the past years. Anyone who opposes or stand in contradiction to this fact should please come forward with his/her substantive claim and details of the alleged money given to the distinguished Senator representing Anambra North or any other Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to build a computer hub or ICT Centre.

It is on record that Federal Government of Nigeria has never released a dime to him for projects executed by him till date, rather he has unceasingly used his hard-earned money and contact to facilitate, construct many projects with little or no refund. Please this claim is verifiable.

For avoidance of doubt, we will update some of the projects Dr. Tony Nwoye has facilitated and executed in Anambra East and West, Anambra North and Anambra State, all verifiable projects and 80% of these projects were done when he was neither holding any position or Government appointment. Stay tuned on this page as we bring up to speed on these projects.

As we urge citizens to outrightly reject these rootless propagandists who dish out half-truths while on the run against Dr. Tony Nwoye’s towering profile, we urge the good people of Anambra North and our fellow citizens to always insist on doing a fact check on issues because it helps in moulding opinion while shunning deliberate or advertent lack of curiosity about facts.
