HOW ENUGU DISAPPOINTED US: By Olalekan Soyombo.

When this year NBA International Conference was shifted to Enugu, many Lawyers grumbled and expressed fear as to why should an Eastern part of the country ridden with violence and insecurities remained an option.

Afterwards, the Association was assured of the best and we moved on, though with doubt, but in the spirit of optimism that our association remains ours, the best of it must be explored regardless!

INDEED ENUGU CITY DISAPPOINTED US!

Yes, disappointed to see a clean city and well coordinated people; disappointed to see a city with a good layout and infrastructural development; disappointed to see a well arranged community of people who are friendly and accommodating; disappointed to see classes of hotels, resorts in across the town of Enugu and above all a well constructed and projected first class international conferences centre. All in the City of Enugu.

Aside Lagos, no state in the South West can compete with the COAL CITY OF ENUGU in terms of development. My colleagues who are reading this would attest to this fact.

Enugu transportation system is excellent, well-arranged and orderly (although, extortionate).

I must confess that the Easterners/Igbos know what they want and they are committed to achieving them perfectly.

This is without prejudice to the efforts of our Governors here in the South West of Nigeria, but more passion should be put in place by making infrastructural development a priority beyond petty considerations.

Enugu is greatly missed!!!
