Omo_Tier1: Always spewing on the pages of newspaper, yet Nigerians cannot feel the positive effect in their daily lives! OP get a life, there more to democracy than propaganda. Nigerians are tired of propaganda. When a man does good works, even His enemy will spread it abroad. So cannot be said of GEJ's government, that is why He is expending so much energies on Internet propaganda. If truly He is making a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians, the people would be the ones broadcasting afar.

Rich Dad: @op, please is SURE-P a parastatal under the ministry of works?

Sincere 9gerian:
The chief propagandist of Tinubu's APC has posted as expected.

Omo_Tier1:
Shame no dey catch you? Agbero doctor that trades timbers to Equatorial Guinea SURE-Punto my foot

Mr McJay: ^^ Where are the subsidy buses? I tot ur master also promised us those? I'm not talking of the 26 rickshaws that were parked in Eagles Square sometime ago.

Sincere 9gerian:
SURE-P is an agency of govt but it works with existing ministries, department and agencies to execute dedicated projects.

Rich Dad:
okay, thanks. But why is SURE-P executing a project that is primarily the responsibility of MOW or FERMA? Or is there no federal allocation for maintenance of a road of high importance as the 3MB?

Sincere 9gerian:
SURE-P is an intervention programme that will run from now till 2014/2015. It will provide funds for execution of ongoing or previously abandoned projects- whether roads, bridges, rail lines, etc. In some cases it will fund new projects.

It was packaged during the fuel subsidy removal debate of late 2011 just to make sure that the funds saved by reducing fuel subsidy (via fuel price increase) will not be swallowed in the regular budget. Availability of funds is a major impediment to speedy execution of govt projects. SURE-P helps to solve that problem for projects under the programme. For instance, if the Abuja-Lokoja road that was awarded in 2006 or so was to be executed at N100billion while what is always provided in budget since 2006 for the project is N1 to 2billion, it means it will take 50-100yrs to complete the project. But if additional funds now comes from SURE-P, say N20billion every yr, it will facilitate early completion of the project. This is just an example but the fact is that many federal projects awarded in early or mid 2000 are yet to be completed or just about being completed.

Ngwakwe: The Federal Government under the "Fisherman" is doing greater than expected far beyond the regimes before him.

We need to give him the benefit of doubt before dabbling into unnecessary pull him down syndrome prevalent in Nigerian politics.

The quite unfortunate thing about our educational institutions that should be involved in conducting some political debates to ascertain the credibilities of political achievements by the political parties are only involved in bandwagonism.

nuclearboy:

Let's be sincere - IF anybody conducts a "debate" as you stated above and the results do NOT please you, you will say they are "opposition" supporters!

So why should they? Its obvious your minds were made up long ago so you see anything is supportive of your claim that Nigeria is doing well! What is NOT supportive of that, you say is due to "Opposition"!

Maybe its because I can no longer be called a youth, but I have honestly not seen any impact of the SURE-P which from all the above seems more involved in dashing out money on a 3000 per state basis rather than creating wealth! Where are the farms? The industries? Economy boosters Etc

But then, I guess I too will now be called "opposition" for stating what's patently obvious to any dispassionate observer!

nuclearboy: @sincere9gerian:

Hardknock has effectively answered you!

Recycling the same theme to give examples of "work" can't cut it no more especially as you are the ones complaining Amosun should NOT fix fed govt roads!

Sure-P too, ought NOT be held as responsible for what Capital expenditure has been budgeted for! Of course I know you'll use your 100 years becoming 5 years because of Sure-p as self justification but you know those are hollow excuses! Reality is it NOT showing and all your posts above just portend immense (yet now poorly justified) losses meant to give one impression while doing whatever else the funds are being truly used for!

Sincere 9gerian: ** SURE-P Fast Tracking Ongoing Works On The Port Harcourt-Maiduguri Narrow Guage And Abuja-Kaduna Modern Standard Guage Rail Lines

18th January, 2013

“That is why the rehabilitation of the Eastern line is moving at a pace such that by the end of this year, ifthat SURE-P intervention is sustained, if the pace of the release of money is sustained, we will have trains running between Port Harcourt and Maiduguri. Similarly, the Abuja to Kaduna standard gauge project is now 40 per cent complete, and if this level of funding which the President has directed is sustained, the Abuja to Kaduna line would be fully operational by the end of 2014. What we are saying now is that these interventions need to be sustained not just for the rehabilitation, but also for the maintenance and operations of train’s services to a point where NRC can become self-sustaining and a point where the private sector would be required to take over train operations”, he said.
