abio.... blue line(1st phase) and red line Lagosian are only singing the blues grin grin grin
ROSSIKE:


I'm actually surprised that not even the 1st phase of the Lagos rail has started to function after so many years of construction... it does make you wonder..... Maybe Tinubu's demands for 'his cut' are stalling the project, who knows? Well, hopefully sha, it will come on stream soon.

I was only airing what FASHOLA was promoting. You should look in the mirror, DUMBO.

www.nairaland.com/1912406/nigeria-nuclear-power-plants-within


Quote:

''The governor of Lagos State in Nigeria, Babatunde Fashola, has said that the government is considering exploring nuclear energy as an alternative power supply in the state of the country. During the 4th Corporate Assembly, the governor said the government recognized how power supply was important to the country’s economic development in the state, and thus it’s resolution to explore other options to address the problem.

In the business dubbed “BRF Meets Business” and held at the Lekki Free Zone, Fashola said that the decision for exploring nuclear energy as an alternative to see the Nigerian state have adequate power, was one of the issues members attending the 2014 Economic Summit (Ehingbeti) had disagreed on.

According to him, two hours were devoted to discuss the matter during the State Executive Council meeting on Monday. He said they discussed how nuclear energy, as an alternative for power, could be deployed “within the next 5 to 24 months.”

Maybe your mentor Tinubu, ''chopped the money'' with Fashola. Idiattt.


SO DESPERATE TO CRITICIZE YOU END UP CRITICIZING YOURSELF. DUMMY grin


According to him, two hours were devoted to discuss the matter during the State Executive Council meeting on Monday. He said they discussed how nuclear energy, as an alternative for power, could be deployed “within the next 5 to 24 months.

He said nothing about having Nuclear power plants in a few months. He said they discussed how it could be done within the next 5-24 months.

The keyword is COULD BE? Could means POSSIBILITY and not CERTAINTY.

The only power plant Fashola is capable of building is the 8MW generator that APC "terms" power plant. If you were well educated you would have known that there is a big difference between a generator and a power plant!

I congratulate Fashola for building the generator, but he must learn how to build a proper power plant first, Nuclear energy is beyond his ken! Nuclear power plants is not for toddlers.

Hmnnnnnnn cable car comes to my mind grin grin grin grin

The governor stated that the light rail project would be commissioned before the end of next year as it was estimated that 1.6 million Lagosians would be transported daily, which translates to 19.2 million passengers annually.
“By the end of 2014, The Blue Line should transport Lagosians from Mile 2 to Marina, a journey of about 13.5 kilometres, in the shortest possible time. We are also proud to say that the cable car; a veritable means of fast and unhindered transportation, is on the verge of completion.
“To grow the economy of our dear city of Lagos into one of the model Mega Cities in Africa, embracing the best practices in the transportation/urban mobility cannot be overlooked. Lagosians must accept this concept of transportation as safer and more economical. We must recognise that individual transportation translates to more vehicles on the roads, which translate to an unhealthy volume of carbon emission

President Goodluck Jonathan marks groundbreaking Of Abuja Centenary City










Anchored by Africa’s tallest building and the Continent’s largest retail and entertainment destination, 30-hectare Nigeria Park, vibrant cultural centre, world-class hotels and R & D facilities in smart, interconnected city of the future Abuja, Nigeria.



Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan today marked the ground-breaking of Abuja Centenary City, an ambitious city of the future, which ushers in a new era of economic prosperity to the country.

Abuja Centenary City is a fitting tribute to the country on its 100th year of formation. Envisaged as a spectacular city hub, the 1,300-hectare master-planned community is the largest of its kind in Africa. In the presence of officials of Centenary City Plc and other high-ranking officials, President Jonathan also unveiled the master-plan of the project, which has three iconic features – Africa Tower, scaling high at 308 metres, The Mall of Africa and a 30-hectare Nigeria Park. Africa Tower will be the tallest building in the Continent while the mall will be its largest retail and entertainment destination. The project will be developed by Eagle Hills, an Abu Dhabi-based private investment company.

A smart, inter-connected urban centre that draws on the latest technologies, Abuja Centenary City will have a central business district, a financial centre, a museum & cultural centre to promote African and global arts, 13 world-class hotels, business and technology parks, residential districts, an 18-hole golf course, R & D & industry centres, sports and leisure facilities and community amenities. Upon completion, Abuja Centenary City will be home to 137,850 residents and an office community of over 87,000 workers in addition to over 60,000 workers expected at the Science & Technology Park.

The project is billed to be a strong catalyst for the city’s growth, with its economic impact potentially contributing about five per cent of Abuja’s GDP, upon completion in phases. It will energise the economy by creating several thousand jobs during construction and afterwards. It will also be a magnet for further foreign investment, as Abuja Centenary City is envisioned to be a retail, hospitality and tourism hub of Africa. Abuja Centenary City has been designed by world-class architects by taking into consideration its natural environment. The different components, such as the R&grin centre and technology parks are designed to create high-tech jobs for the talented youth in Nigeria, and to encourage high-value enterprises in the small and medium business sector.

Among other features of the mega-development is Abuja Grand Bazaar which celebrates the culture and indigenous architecture and planning of Nigeria. To be developed to the highest standards of sustainability, Abuja Centenary City will retain the hills within the area as natural features and wildlife preserves, while the adjoining river will serve as a natural flood plain park and partly urban riverfront esplanade. Of the 1,300 hectares, nearly 553 hectares will be green area, which accounts for nearly 40 per cent of the total area.
The masterplan of the project takes into consideration several aspects including respect to the context and climate, provide accessibility and sustainable modes of transport, create an interconnected smart city with pedestrian-scaled blocks, feature green spaces and ensure an array of residential choices – from premium to affordable luxury.

Of the total built-up area of 8.89 million sqm (8.89 sq km), nearly 60 per cent will be for residential purposes to meet the growing demand for homes in Nigeria, while nearly 25 per cent will be set aside for commercial towers. The science & technology cluster, retail, hospitality, leisure and other community amenities will form the rest.

As part of infrastructure development, a light rail metro link from the Airport will bring people directly to the main plaza in front of Africa Tower on the edge of Nigeria Park, while an on-site tram/guided bus system will provide accessibility to the main development zones. A cable car will connect the two main hills and Nigeria Park creating a leisure route for visitors. The project also has a network of pedestrian routes and cycle ways along linear parks, trails and along the urban riverfront which will create a network of connectivity.

Abuja Centenary City will be developed in phases with work on the first residential towers, commercial towers and The Address Hotel + Residence towers, to commence in the first phase. Nigerian and international contractors and consultants will work on the project with a global contest to be held soon to choose the design of the tower.

The first residential project in Abuja Centenary City will be launched shortly. Potential investors can visit the Centenary City Sales Centre for a detailed overview of the project and to meet customer service representatives.

In your warped mind you think Eko Atlantic City Stands a better chance than the centenary city! The only reason Eko Atlantic will be a success is because Fashola and his master will be out of power in a few months from now hence they wont be able to illegally appropriate the city for themselves and family like they have done other lagos assets. therby giving the project a chance.

Abuja has a track record of having projects like this succede case in point the world trade centre, I have no doubt that this centenary city will be a success.

Was Eko Atlantic not conceived several years before this Abuja Centenary City project? If I'm correct the company involved only committed to do it just last year. So why would Eko Atlantic that has been in sight for the past 10 or 20 years not have construction commence before it? Your reasoning, and juxtaposing of actual construction pics of one with graphics of the other makes no sense.
