Employment of engineers to their detriment and placement of families and subordinates to positions abi? Mtchewwwwww...........

That's good...atleast the knowledge will be transfer to some extent.

Same Chinese constructors that treat Nigerians with utter impunity in Nigeria? After the same CCECC have seen how your ministry manipulated their railway scholarship to unjustly favour the relatives of your cronies
Amaechi thinks he put charm for mouth.They're not programmed robots.

Good move!


But are they just waking up? Oops! It's few months to elections.

Not hold brief for the Chinese, but how many jobs have Amechi and his miserable party provided for ordinary Nigerians... The foreigners are obviously an easy target..

This minister is a joke, oga minister set rules and regulation for foreign contractors in your ministry and make sure they follow the law if they cannot why borther awarding contract to them. oga minister you need to do the needful before giving order.

Useless order.
What is Nigeria policy on expatriate quotas?
Who monitors this quotas?
Do government workers do their job?
Can government agencies work like private companies, target oriented?

The government makes it so easy for this people to come into the country without any stringent local labour protection requirements all in the name of encouraging FDI to the detriment of Nationals.
This people will always come if the potential are there. It like sugar to ant.

The government need to first encourage internal rediscovery, Internal investment.

The institutions need to work, not single executive order like this one.
They will employ the 6 and bring in 12 more Chinese.

Until people are held responsible for positions they hold. My country people should forget any change in this country.

Is not about forcing the hand of free market. Everytime, them no dey think any thing complex through. E just wan talk make e be say e talk.

What he should have been silently implementing is giving small and medium size projects to capable naijans that are close to being established but know the science of the job. Give these naijans or africos 70% of all the current project small and medium size jobs.



Our thinking needs to start being sharper and accelerated. We suppose dun dey begin think like genius aliens from another world in a good way.
We can't be making stupid mistakes like this.

Naijans need to start fixing the roads all over the country until we learn am well. Same for light issue, and other issues.

We need to have "tact" as a society; it will favor us well.

Order them? when you are owing them trillions of naira? Crazy!

Dear Amechi, Chinese are your boss now!
They dictate the pace. Until you pay them off your debts and give them their right place!

Did I just read 6 Engineers? Mtcheeeeeeew!

And surely they will come from the daura

Wrong place wrong time.....he should've shouted all of this before the contract was signed.

This man has good dress sense than Wike
