People have been stealing so Jonathan should continue stealing right? News flash! I hate APC but I love Buhari with a passion, whatever will stop stealing is what I am rooting for, as for Tinubu, I feel so sorry for him daily as Buhari grows in popularity, Buhari, will be tinubu's worst mistake, mark my words, If Tinubu wants to know his fate under Buhari, he should ask IBB.

you're really funny...you forgot that Nigerians will be employed in these companies. You're as ignorant as your pay master. You're myopic to a fault. Sey your Buhari has promised to give everyone white collar job in the ministry. Chai! He's indeed going to send Nigeria back to the ancient days.smh

the cars dont really have to be cheap because they are made in Nigeria. you will rather look at the infrastructure created,
the jobs generated, the tax paid and the sicial contributions these companies will give. those are the things producing economies can assure you, perhaps with time affordability, quality, durability etc aimed at consumer's satisfaction begin to fall in place. WITHOUT SENTIMENTS , THIS IS THE BEST CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT EVER starting from the days of President Sheu Shagari "IN TERMS OF INFRASTRUCTURE" YOU CAN QUOTE ME!

I have been to Innoson' s factory, I have been to the Charade in Annamco, Motor assembly plant rolling out few units of vehicles don't need much manpower go and see for yourself.

I may even have more workers than Innoson im not mistaken.
It is only a dumb leader will create hunger for the majority to liberate a few.

Don't be deceived, the jobs are actually created for Indians and Lebanese, go and see for yourself before talking nonsense.

Do a head count of the Nigerians doing menial jobs there and tell me if it is worth putting clearing agents and importers out of business.

Despite factories shutting down due to the wanton importation under the daft & dumb old pensioner who is begging to APPLY for our nation's top job, electricity was still terrible.

BlackBaron:


No need for gymnastics here, it's simply an indictment of the expectation of most Nigerians if 4-7 hour electricity is celebrated.
We know which of them expended £ billions on power which you're clearly listing as an achievement.

If 5.5 hours average power is the definition of bliss and achievement, then so be it.
All I'll deduce is some people have chosen to relocate to hell on earth where they continue to gyrate amidst the squalor and filth in their midst.

FG Partners Firms Over Abuja-lagos Speed Train

Minister of Transport, Senator Idris Umar, said on Wednesday that the Federal Government has started receiving expression of interests from private firms within and outside the country that wish to partner with it on the operation of a speed train project from Abuja to Lagos.

Umar who said the speed trains would cover the journey in a maximum period of three hours, also disclosed that the Abuja-Kaduna rail project would commence full operation next month.

He stated this in Abuja at the Public presentation of a book, “Showcasing Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s Monumental Strides: A Third Party Perspective” written by the Director-General of Citizens Network For Peace and Development in Nigeria, Mr. Dressmann Preye.

Umar explained that the federal government had carried out a number of feasibility studies with the aim of constructing more standard gauge lines across the country and had successfully completed studies in seven new corridors including the Abuja-Lagos high speed train.

He said, “The consultants who carried out the feasibility studies have submitted their reports. Part of the report contains the involvement of the private sector to drive the project. This is because we want to develop these lines under public, private partnership arrangements.

“We have already, received a lot of expression of interests even ahead of advertisement for the purpose from various companies in the country and indeed, in other countries of the World.

“The idea is that, if we have this in place, the trains can move from Abuja to Lagos, and from Lagos to Abuja in a maximum of three hours. We are intending to compete favourably with the other transportation system in carrying passengers from Abuja to Lagos.

“When fully actualised, a train will leave Abuja to Lagos and Lagos to Abuja, every hour. The feasibility studies had been completed, it is not a question of story. The trains will start running within the next three years, say by 2018.”

The minister explained that, the federal government had completed the rehabilitation of the Western rail lines under its revivalist strategy in the rail transport sector.

He also added that the Jonathan administration was working towards the completion of the eastern line.

Nigeria Now Has 21 Functional Steel Mills - Olusegun Aganga


The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, on Thursday said the number of functional steel mills in the country had increased to 21 from less than five a few years ago due to the implementation of the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan.
He said this when he inaugurated a N60bn integrated steel rolling mill in Sagamu, Ogun State built by Standard Metallurgical Company, adding that the government was committed to repositioning the steel sector to access a substantial share of the global wealth of the industry, estimated at $10tn.
“Before this administration came on board, we had less than five functioning steel rolling mills and no cold-rolled steel mill; but today there are more than 15 functioning steel rolling mills producing reinforced bars; about three functioning cold rolled steel mills producing cold rolled flat sheets; and about three producing or about to commence the production of wire coils. This is a visible evidence that our policies are working,” Aganga said.
According to him, steel is at the heart of any country’s economic development and is one of the most important materials widely used for both domestic and industrial purposes throughout the world, hence the priority given to the sector in the NIRP.
He said, “In addition to accelerating the industrial development of a nation, a vibrant steel sector contributes to the growth of the Gross Domestic Product and exploitation of Nigeria’s abundant natural resources.
“A vibrant steel sector also generates economic activities in downstream industries, creates job opportunities and acquisition of technical skills, and helps in the transfer of technology and provision of machine parts and tools. This particular project is being executed with 100 per cent locally-sourced raw materials.”
The minister noted that the establishment of the first phase of the SMC steel mill and the ground-breaking of the second phase would complement the company’s existing investments in the agri-business sub-sector, pointing out that the mill ranked among the largest private sector investments in the steel sector in Nigeria.
Aganga said, “I am assuring existing investors like SMC and prospective ones of government’s support in the pursuit of self-sufficiency in local steel production. The implementation of game changers in the sector is already opening up a lot of downstream sector activities, with the attendant massive job opportunities and economic empowerment for our engineers, technicians, artisans and fabricators alike.
“To date, a number of sectorial policies have been developed under the NIRP. The Sugarcane to Sugar under the National Sugar Master Plan has attracted over $3bn in investments.”

Nigeria welcomes three T-72 M1 main battle tanks (MBT), to fight Boko Haram, IHS Jane's Defence Weekly reports. Additionally, the source informed of other types of armoured vehicles (BMPs) and anti-tank complexes being shipped to Nigeria via air transport.

The total price of the delivery was estimated at USD8m (N1,536,400,000). Excalibur Group company (Czech Republic), that specialises in refurbishing military equipment, was one of the contractors.

A total of 16 vehicles have been transported via Antonov An-225 (Mriya) aircraft from Ostrava-Mosnov airport to the end user's location since January 26, 2015.

It would be noted that the recent success of the Nigerian Army may be attributed to use of heavy tanks for military operations in ‎Michika‬ and ‪‎Madagali‬.

Boko Haram insurgents, who use ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns mounted on their vehicles, cannot penetrate the explosive reactive (ERA) armour of a T-72.
The terrorists have RPG-7 anti-tank hand-held grenade launchers that are able to damage the MBT. However, RPG's firing range is 500m, while the T-72 can demolish any target from the range of 3-5km.
Facts about T-72 MBT:
- over 25,000 built since 1973;
- exported in over 40 countries worldwide;
- price USD1...2m. May increase drastically depending on modification;
- first ever world championship for militaries operating T-72 took place in Russia in August 2014.

That is the difference between a leader and the led, you seem not to understand what is called priorities in policy making.
Jonathan too doesnt understand that hence the s!lly policy.

The reality of the Auto concession is that people like me cannot be decieved it was done in the interest of Job creation nor Infrastructure development.

The Govt. is not investing in the said plants so, the infrastructures remains innoson's personal properties, why should we direct a national policy to favor a few individuals?

If Jonathan thinks he is creating employment, we want to know how many workers Innosson has employed so far and their respective positions, the QAQC supervisor there is not a Nigerian, meanwhile as big as shell is, their QaQc Manager is a Nigerian, but ordinary innoson will bring a brown goat to assume the same position, imagine the insult.

Take your CV there and get the jobs first, before coming here to rant, Jonathan is using your head and you don't want to grow sense, mumu!
