I'll stop right here because to my knowledge, this is all the projects started and completed by Akpabio in Akwa Ibom.

I'll also hold off on Fashola for 1 hour and let others insert whatever I left out as completed projects in Akwa Ibom just to be fair..

2006 Census: Lagos Raises Fresh Evidence to Dispute Figures


Lagos State has raised fresh evidence in support of its claim that the population of the state is more than the 9,113,605 recorded for it by the Nigerian Population Commission after the 2006 head count.

The state has also recruited the services of six leading law firms in Nigeria to prosecute its complaints before the Census Tribunal sitting in Abuja. The law firms are Simon Coopers, Elias and Co., Femi Okunnu, M. A. Bashua, Kola Awodein and Sofunde, Belgore and Osakwe.

The fresh evidence which Lagos has since filed before the tribunal showed that the population of the state should have been within the range of 13 million to 19 million.

In its complaint before the tribunal, Lagos said, "After the release of the report of the census exericse Lagos State Government engaged the services of Romis Consultants Limited a reputable Statistic, Data Analyst and Demography company to analyse the result returned for Lagos State on local government areas basis, which it did and submitted its report to the state government.

"That the report of the consultant revealed that, the result released for Amuwo Odofin Local Government area is inacurate, false and inconsitent with the actual figure of people living or counted in the local government area as well as all known demography indices."

It said that NPC did not create adequate enumeration areas and that the enumerators sent to the state were inadequate.The state said it had discovered that 90 enumeration maps which contained relevant data of many houses for thousands of lagosians were missing from NPC's records, with the effects that those houses in various parts of the state were not marked or listed for the enumeration exercise and thus the people inhabiting the houses were not counted.


The state said that NPC did not take cognizance of the megalopolis status of Lagos by which international organisations have described the city and expressed the fears that in the next five years, it would become one of the most thickly populated cities in the world.

It relied on a report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) released in 2001 which put the population of Lagos at 13.4 million at that time.

"Given the visible demographic, biological and social parameteres on ground in the state, the population was expected to increase to well over 17 million in eight year," it added.

It said, "A lot of researches have been carried out globally that associated high demographic value to the population of Lagos State.

"By its 1999 Revision, World Urbanization Prospects, a respected International Publication of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, it asserted that Lagos is the only Mega City in Nigeria with a population figure above the 10 million mark."

The new evidence being raised by the state may have come a little too late as the NPC asked the tribunal not to allow it because it was filed out of time.

NPC's counsel, Chief Mike Ahamba SAN said that the amendment which Lagos was seeking was caught by the provisions of Paragraph 15(1) of the 3rd Schedule to the National Population Commission Act which forbids substantial amendment to a complaint once the time to file a complaint has lapsed.

But Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, who argued the state's application to amend the complaint said that the amendment was not substantial.

He also argued that NPC did not have anything to lose if the amendment was allowed. Rather, it would allow the tribunal to do substantial justice to the state's complaints.

The tribunal which has as its chairman Mrs. Ifenyinwa Obegolu has adjourned ruling on whether to accept the amendment or not to November 17th 2010.

Akpabio is a fraud. The people have been severally robbed. When one compares akpabios so called achievement to the monthly allocation this fool receives, one will realise that this criminal deserves nothing but to be stoned to death.

There is absolutely nothing to compare here! Both dwell more on Media propaganda!
The facts we should be looking out for are does these gigantic projects translate to better lives for the residents?

Somebody is even posting a tolled bridge as an achievement!
Anyways, are Lagosians better off with the projects? Or are Akwa ibomites better off?
Not posting mumbo jumbo pictures all around
