Abia launches 100 taxis in Aba, Umuahia < Prev Next > Posted By: Anon Fri Apr 17, 2009 8:16 pm | As Abia launches 100 taxis in Aba, Umuahia By Ben Duru, Correspondent, Umuahia Speaking also on the occasion, Managing Director of Carnation, Chief Jimi Lewu, said procurement of the saloon cars had put a final stop to incessant complaints by people of the state over their suffering occasioned by the ban on inaga operators in the city. He said it would also remove the toga of Umuahia being one of the few states in the federation that has no taxi transportation since creation of Abia State in 1991. He explained that the introduction of taxis was also part of the determination of the Abia State Government to reduce the rising profile of unemployment in the state and create jobs for the teeming youths aside shoring up its internally generated revenue base, adding that with the security apparatuses embedded in the cars it would check such vices prevalent in the state today. "This is because a lot of security measures have been put in place in the scheme, which would ensure that drivers of the taxis would be officially monitored, while the taxi have facilities that would enable it to be tracked at all times. Apart from Lagos, the scheme is being test-run in Abia State with a view to extending it to other capital cities in the country depending on the success recorded," Lewu said. He disclosed that as a Private Partnership Programme (PPP), the fare for the taxis would be very affordable and regulated by government, adding that the company was going to provide workshops and train personnel that would manage the cars. According to him, a lot of jobs would be created in employing the drivers as well as those that would man the workshop "and this inbuilt maintenance culture is our trump card, because we have a large reservoir of parts to keep the cars going at all times." Lewu said that in the next few months the organisation would move to two other cities in the country and hopes to cover the entire country before the end of the year, adding that already talks have reached advanced stage with officials of the various transport unions in the state. He said that eventually the vehicles may be handed over to the driver owners in the long run, but this would depend largely on how successful it takes off, adding that what they were introducing in the country obtains in developed countries. He disclosed that government was not putting any kobo into the business except to provide the enabling environment for business to flourish as well as bringing the diverse transport unions to dialogue with them. According to Lewu, the programme would take off soon and operate in such a manner that the suffering of the people, especially in the evenings in Umuahia and Aba would become a thing of the past. Though, the taxi scheme was supposed to be one of the major features of the visit of Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to Abia State, as he was expected to commission it, but it never happened due to lack of time. Its eventual commissioning by Governor Theodore Orji, however, would bring succour to the suffering of the people. The introduction of the taxis would be novel in Umuahia and Aba because at no time had such a venture been undertaken by any government or individual. It will add colour to the state, especially with the performances of the Governor in road construction and rehabilitation. There is no doubt that the cabs would not suffer the usual wear and tear that would have been its lot if it had been introduced earlier without the commensurate reconstruction of major roads in the two cities. Today, Umuahia and Aba are wearing a new look and also colourful with the asphalting of almost all major roads in the two major cities in the state, hence first time visitors to the state capital would not have to go through excruciating pains to get transportation to their various destinations. They would not only have the comfort of a taxi fully air-conditioned but also do so in grand style, thanks to the deliberate encouragement of private investors by the Governor. He has assured of government's determination to provide convivial atmosphere for such investors to reap returns from their investments as long as they confine themselves to the general principles outlined in the negotiations. The fact is that the number of taxis assigned to these two major cities may eventually fall short of expectations of the people. There is also the likelihood that drivers may deviate from the original plan and decide to go some distances. This may defeat the idea just like those who benefited from the first phase of introduction of taxis and buses, who decided to put them on intercity fares rather than move people within the state. The government and Carnation are expected to monitor the drivers constantly to ensure they stick to the original plan. There is also the danger of drivers looking for areas that would enable them make more money rather than cushioning the effect of the limited ban on the operation of inaga or commercial motorcycle operators from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. These are facts that may eventually militate against the scheme. For now, Governor Theodore Orji has once again displayed tremendous love for the people and appreciation of what they have been passing through since the ban on commercial motorcycle operators, and it is hoped that the people would reciprocate this gesture. http://odili.net/news/source/2009/apr/17/705.html |

Chris-OD: Which beat? Our GDP breakdown shows you don't contribute up to 10% of it |

Yorubest: 10% from Ladipo only. Add Alaba, ASPAMDA and those 1000s of corporate Igbos (Zinox, Coscharis, Linkserve, etc, etc, etc) and it shoots to 50% 1 Like |

Chris-OD: My friend, the total contribution of trading (by Igbos, Yorubas and Hausas) is about 8.5% Seven different sectors dominate economic activities in Lagos State, led by manufacturing which, interestingly, contributes 29.60 percent of the state’s GDP figures. Road transport follows closely contributing an average of 26.47 percent of economic activities in the state. Other sectors in order of dominance include building and construction (19.60 percent); wholesale and retail (8.39 percent); telecommunications (3.71 percent); financial institutions (3.51 percent); and real estate (2.01 percent). The seven sectors account for 93.39 percent of economic activities in the state. All the sectors that make an impact are dominated by Yorubas so go hang |

Yorubest: Omo alata, stop brandishing this thoroughly discredited story about. We have debunked this over and over. “Lagos ACN wants to let Nigerians know that Igbos constitute over 45 per cent of the population of Lagos and they dominate key sectors of the Lagos economy. https://www.nairaland.com/1379688/lagos-safe-igbos-joe-igbokwe Kanu Nwanko and Okocha alone constitute 1 % of Lagos' GDP People like Madam Violet Ifeyinwa Yough (MFR) are few examples of Igbos holding 50% of Lagos GDP. As a matter of fact Yorubas have only 30 % while the rest goes to foreigners. Read about Madam Violet Yough (MFR) here http://www.gistmaster.com/2008/05/violent-yough-celebrates-70-in-great.html and see what Fani Kayode says of her here https://www.nairaland.com/965707/between-igboyoruba-other-women-femi |

How dare you say this is our first major investment. This is genocide!!! You are a jealous tribalist! We are the real owners of Igboland. We are 99% of the Lawyers, Doctors, Accountants, Business Owners, Real Estate Developers, etc in your states. The only business we allow you is street hawking. We are 70% of the population. According to our scientific documents, only 0.00000000000015% of all businesses in Onitsha are owned by Igbos. The first titled man was Adeike Ojukwotunde who was given the title of "Supreme Master and Father of the Igbo Race - may all their sons be our slaves and all their daughters be our fourth wives". He was a Ogun born Yoruba man. Come prostrate before your Yoruba masters. We will have a Yoruba-Anambrian Governor in 2015! |

Kairoseki77: This is not the first major investment. You are discriminating against us!!! You are just jealous! You are correct about the first uncancelled stuff. There are more (Glo, banks, etc), but we do not care. We compete and beat you in it. You are dreaming about the second uncancelled one. When you wake up, you will get real The cancelled stuff are the rantings of a demented village urchin |
