Nice one Chime; as always.

The State uni(ESUT) need urgent attention ooo!!!
School fees na strictly for the rich!!!
Subsidies that one plss!!

Am i the only one that thinks the amount quoted for said rehabilitation is ridiculously small ? Maybe it was a typo error.

How can N195 Million be enough to renovate more than 8 Public Schools (knowing the present state of them) when you consider that materials have to be bought; labour has to be paid (or are they planning to use slave labour?); and the Contractors profit margin as well.

I've seen the present state of the Primary School i attended in GRA Enugu, and renovating that alone will swallow the whole budget, let alone having to consider using it for more than 8 Schools.

Or am i missing something?

i dont believe its small , it says renovating not constructing new ones , besides enugu state have shown nigeria you dont need bogus allocation before you can develope your state.

sorry, did i read IMPORTATION [/b]of [b]waste bins?? I hope they are NOT leaving out the brooms (:


When you get to these schools that will be "renovated", you ll be forced to consult your dictionary to cross check the meaning of renovation, the idiot they gave money to renovate the primary school in my villa, simply poured an ugly looking green paint in a collapsing building and pocket the money,

^^^That's what may happen when you consider how greedy contractors are (not to mention the quality control monitoring officers cut as well). Renovating on the cheap.

What happened to the words BEAUTIFUL and HANDSOME? What does one do with someone who is SEXY or 'SEXFULL'? Pls let's be careful. We are turning values and virtues up-side-down.

Good move!

I believe that amount is small for the intended project. We will see anyway. Good one Chime, we are proud of you.

Yes, truly the amount seems so small. But as we say, ''at all at all na im bad pass''.
When you take Enugu's federal allocation and back off civil servants' wages, you will get the picture better. And to think that several other projects are ongoing, puts the state in a ''tight corner''.
Time for looting Enugu state treasury is over.
042 forever! Udo di!
