Upon inquiry, I was reliably informed, that this is the proposed Nwangele ICT centre project, being supervised by the member representing Nwangele State constituency and the Deputy Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Rt.

It is on record, that while some Local Government Areas are still mobilising to site, the young and amiable legislator, popularl...
