12 kilometers for 50billion naira and 2.6kilometers has exulted 33.9billion

IN COMPARISON!

RIVERS MONORAIL PROJECT- Rotimi Amaechi

COST #50B
SCOPE 12 kilometres

Amount paid - #40Billion - 80%
Area completed-2.6kilom - 22%


Construction of three flyover bridges- Gov Wike

Cost #21B
Scope. Artillery 1 and 2: 517.5 metres, Rumuokoro 360 metres and Garrison 360 metres

Read � again, just read again

If you didn't see the money Previous Government used to construct 2.6km Audio Projects and what that money would have done for the state then....just read again �

That Government almost finished us.
Former governor of Rivers state chibuike Amaechi is i highly criminal and should be in jail by now
Both he and Wike should be in jail. Do you think Wike is not inflating his own too?

The total length of the bridges you mentioned is barely above 1 km and 21bn+ was spent.

The problem of southern Nigeria is its leadership not Hausa/Fulani.

***modified for those blaming northern leadership***
If any southern governor is able to fully utilize at least 95% of their monthly earnings into their state, that state would comfortably compete with the likes of Johannesburg in terms of development.

That’s how deeply corrupt all our leaders are.

Make una de think! Your leaders are your problem!





You are not far from the truth, I keep saying it in as much as the presidency is bad our leaders at the state down to the ward council is corrupt, if only they put all their monthly allocation, to use the state will go very far, that project cost so much yet could not be completed after all the billions spent on it. All our politicians are thieves whether APC or PDP they are all the same. Pity the youths who fight and kill themselves for them.

Oga,some of those flyovers should be in ogoni,ikwerre or link ph with eleme or okrika
I think he is doing something other than flyover in those places. Port Harcourt has a lot of traffic I think that is his reason.

The man in Abuja employed the idiot "Rotimi Amechi " that wasted millions building a mono railway to nowhere. We will soon the outcome of the new national railway that are now under country.

One wonders how many here, are lashing out at Amaechi for the perceived staggering amount budgeted for the project and thus technically commending Wike for non continuity. Forgetting that it's commonwealth and well-being at loss. Same will criticize Sanwo for completing only Ambode's projects and yet to kickstart his own. Even Bubu as erratic as he is, completed many past administration's projects. Wike is not showing tact and brinkmanship doing this!

Amaechi had 8 years to start and finished the project yet only completed 22% of the project at a very inflated cost. He is now a minister in the Buhari government, the Lagos port is congested and the Lagos -Kano rail is still under construction at another inflated cost

Wike put the continuation of that project in to plebiscite and Rivers people overwhelmingly asked him to discontinue with it.
True Amaechi would have discontinued with it but for obvious reasons he continued even when the project PPP backed out foreseeing the inviability of the project. You think about it if a project that would cover over 100km has gulped more than 50b at 1.5km where there was no bridge, no much obstacles how much would be required when it gets to high dense area like Rumuola?
Let's blame Wike less here that project was ill thought-out.

Plebiscite?? What is your problem na. Stop this falsehood.

So arresting Amaechi will automatically complete the project.

That means Jonathan should be in jail for all the inflated uncompleted projects.

Like someone suggested.

Wike should have carried out some reassessment of the project.

Contract it to another firm or same firm after renegotiation probably at a lower value (if indeed it was inflated) and give a comparative report.

Imagine that monorail from oyigbo to borokiri or rumuola sef ..

Omo.. wetin person dey go find for road!.

Do you know how much Godswill Akpabio spent on Sheraton.. Is it not Udom Emmanuel completing it.

So they should have arrested Akpabio first before completing it

I am really pained that Wike abandoned this epoch-making project. This project would have put Port Harcourt and Nigeria on the map as the first of its kind, but the motor park, crack-abusing governor started playing senseless politics with it.


It is really dicy, for me I would have completed it. if you check how much he would put into the project for a trekable distance you might not blame him totally for prioritizing other projects. Note the Governor completed all other projects of his predecessor except this one .... Politicians don't go to jail even they steal so badly , not sending thieves to jail is not a deterrence to would be thieves .

White Elephant project done by Amaechi. This project was highly unnecessary and was only aimed at looting.
Even in foreign countries trains derail, not to talk of Nigeria with poor maintenance culture. This is just a disaster waiting to happen, we have not finished trains on the ground, you are putting it up.

To now think of the fact that the length of the track is N50 journey by road.

So if road is N50 then how much will the train be? N5?


It is really bad, N50 on the road N10 on mono rail. It's not economically viable. The money should have. Been used for rail round the state .

In a civilized state the state government will probe Amechi the finish up the project making it more easier for his people making money and as while and providing job but here we have mumu governors same as Ugwuanyi not finishing up the abandoned project by Sullivan, low mentality of a governor


He was probed and indicted by a judicial panel of enquiry. I think a petition was also sent to the EFFC on that regards .

The cost is over the roof, that's crazy. 1.50km for 50billion, then 100km will gulp over 3.3trillion at 2014 value of the naira .

You ain't getting the right picture, wike has completed all amaechi uncompleted projects except this one. 1.5km for 50billion then 100km will be for? Where will the money come from. The place that project starts and stops is 50 Naira using a taxi .

Thanks for this objectivity. They seem not to get it at all. They are disgruntled at certain indices of blame games from Bubu and the likes, yet kept pouring encomiums on other administrations they have soft spot for, that also blames their predecessors!

How long will an incumbent kept blaming and shying away from communally beneficial projects abandoned by past regimes due to perceived misappropriation? SMH!

Its really a sorry case my brother. Beheading the head should not be an antidote for headache! In other case, abandoning the project shouldn't be the solution as this can never bring back the embezzled fund. It's well!!

Really sad, and if you see the media campaign surrounding it then, u will feel Amaechi was building an oxygen factory to save lives. There was even a bill board for it "monorail coming soon" it's 6years now soon has not still reached, we don't even have a standard gauge rail in South.

50billion down the drain.

If Nigeria starts prosecuting corrupt politicians from OBJ to Buhari, maybe Nigeria will have a true democracy. In SA Zuma is in prison because of state capture and corruption.

Port Harcourt Monorail was designed to transform the transportation sector in the city. The project has remained like this since the last administration that initiated it left office. Hopefully the present administration in Rivers state will complete it before leaving office and put it to use.
