Gone through the link and it's same story of awarded or earmarked project but not eyemarked.!

So wouldn't it be fair to give kudos to Jonathan for awarding the contract and seeing it come to fruition despite the challenges he's facing?

Abacha awarded, couldn't deliver.. Obasanjo awarded, couldn't deliver. Jonathan awarded and it's being delivered! Isn't that progress sir?

LRNZH:


My friend, I am more analytical with this. .

Daily Trust's version is that the revival occurred under Abacha but because the article is dated, it doesn't cover Jonathan's time frame.

Punch's view is all have failed- Abacha, Obasanjo and Jonathan.

My personal experience is that Abacha did have some revival. I had a relative who worked with the Railways then. I'd even wager that Jonathan is yet to get to the levels achieved under Abacha.

My grouse with Jonathan is that Railways is not on the top three priorities of Nigeria. He's not focusing on the right priorities. We need stable Power, functional Refineries and Security to seriously jump-start Nigeria's economy.

With those three in place, Educations, Railways, Road, Health Care, Manufacturing will need less Gov't intervention.

I suspect he had a MAULAG moment and went for Railways because Yaradua was sceptical to award those contracts.

calebo101:


But you're quick to state always that buhari under PTF built roads. Why did he not concentrate on the conditions you aforementioned to jump start Nigeria?

When buhari was head of state, what was his policies on power generation? Why have you not tackled buhari for building roads as you assert but attack Jonathan for reviving the railways?

And the railways sector under Abacha experienced some revival? Like seriously?? You don't have to be biased you know, you can still be fair and state your case.

LRNZH...badoleee! ...keep causing dem grief!

LRNZH:


Brother, remember the saying- evil triumphs when good men keep quiet?

tit:


what you smoke keeps you in an alternate universe!
Your demi-god Buhrai's fraud in the PTF has been exposed for the world to see and yet you are hi-fiving yourselves here!
what are you celebrating?
fraud?
nepotism?
is it not remarkable Buhari imported fake and expired drugs through PTF,
then subsequently your sister Dora Akunyili started fighting against fake and expired drugs which killed millions of Nigerians!

LRNZH:


Brother, remember the saying- evil triumphs when good men keep quiet?

GenBuhari:
please let us not forget to give some credit to Gen. Sani Abacha who set up PTF and wisely appointed Buhari - another evidence Abacha was not corrupt

LRNZH:


[b]What 'truths' did you bust? Let me get you out of your TANoid state of mind: Read and pay attention to the dates in red.

Warri Refinery:
The contract was for the design, procurement and construction of a new grassroots petroleum refinery in Warri. The design capacity of the refinery was 100,000 bpd and the project duration was 30 months. This project was completed and the Warri Refinery was commissioned in 1978. http://www.wrpcnnpcng.com/about2.htm

Kaduna Refinery:
The lubricating oil complex of Kaduna Refinery is the first of its kind in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The consulting firm, KING WILKINSON of Hague, Holland, in conjunction with NNPC engineers, developed the plan for the refinery. The contract for construction was awarded to CHIYODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF YOKOHAMA, Japan in 1977.
The Refinery project was completed and the Fuels Plant was commissioned in 1980. However the Lubes Plant was commissioned in 1983 and Petrochemical Plant much later in 1988. The initial operation and maintenance was carried out by Nigerian Staff and expatriate personnel as technical back up. By 1985, Nigerian staff had virtually taken over all the maintenance and operations. http://www.nnpcgroup.com/nnpcbusiness/subsidiaries/krpc.aspx

You're a difficult case but hopefully you're reformed.

LRNZH:
I think Nairaland rule should boldly indicate no argument without FACTs, guy you are mean....just digging up facts and making TAN guys feels awkward.

The total length of Federal Government highway roads in Nigeria is 34,340.90Km comprising of 20,452.3km Asphaltic concrete, 8,000.9km surface dressed and 5,887.7km gravel or earth. http://www.kwarastate.gov.ng/statistics/transportationandcommunication/roadnetworkinnigeriaandncz.php#sthash.3exMJx3G.dpufPTF

PTF claimed to have rehabilitated 12,000km of federal highways (including drainages) nationwide, and between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt.

12,000km out of 34,340.90Km.
Is that too much maths for you? Ok, let me help. That's roughly 35%.

Offer an apology or forever hold your peace for trying to subvert the truth.

Walphem:

This is a perfect way to respond to criticism, no name calling, no insult simple REFRENCES of his argument, I hope I can get SURE-P records or any other records in this way from the GEJ guys.

Ngwakwe:
Have these people carried these lies to Nairaland?

A success story that kept Nigeria underdeveloped, impoverished, infrastructurally deficient and more also created tens of millions almajiris roaming the streets across Northern Nigeria when the opportunity to eradicate the menace called.

There is no length these repackaging machineries won't go to decorate a too-dented commodity.

It seems their target is Nigerians born after Buhari's infamous, sectional and corrupt laden PTF.

Youths and Nigerians done suffer. A season of grandstanding half-truth, deception and outright lies.

The PTF even claimed to rehabilitate roads more than total of what we have in Nigeria today.

Abagworo:


You are the one not being sincere. I remember that every school I ever went to had PTF presence. The roads that lead to Riverine areas of Rivers State were PTF projects connecting Islands in Kalabari area to Port Harcourt. I give it to Buhari any day any time forever and ever.

LRNZH:


[s]Jesus Christ. Pretty girl why are doing this?
You do not know Dora's story. Buhari was a major part of her success story. [/s]

Please read: http://www.gongnews.net/untold-stories-of-dora-akunyilis-death-rise-to-stardom/

[i]Her name remains Mrs Dora Nkem Akunyili. She was the Zonal Secretary (South-east) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund in 1998. [/b]

tit:


you too like fabuu and you do not use your brain.

Buhari and akunyili imported fake drugs together in PTF.
after obasanjo sacked buhari from PTF,
he asked akunyili to go and recover all the fake drugs they brought into the country!

you send thief to catch theif!
that is why people feel the best job for buhari is efcc chairman.
buhari is a theif!

babse:
Hey LRNZH. I've been combing through Nairaland for gems like these. My reaching out to you is two fold. First for your assistance with a Buhari related project I am working on (time is really of the essence with elections just around the corner). I have also reached out to @GenBuhari for his contribution.

Please do let me know how you can be reached.

dcaliph:
LRNZH the Fact Finder.

LRNZH:
Lol so this thread does not make front page but a questionable report on GMB's stewardship of PTF makes FP.

Ngwakwe:



For posterity sake remove this paid publication and concocted lies out from Nairaland.

You think we weren't alive then. What sort of journalistic and political fraud of article is this?

For a valid news article, the names of the roads with their corresponding distances and types of work done should be listed and not this junk.

How does it sound to list the names of cities as project sites without further details?

Can't you differentiate between political talk and reality.

Can you imagine that corruption laden PTF was described as transparent and corruption free.

With what we now know about corruption and mismanagement of PTF funds and the recoverables, can this paid publication of a political fraud stand scrutiny?

Smart007i:

Is this person even a Nigerian ? I doubt it,
For The record, till date... go to school Liberies and General Hospitals Nation wide, you'll still see work done by PTF
The good thing is they are always Branded. they are not hard to find.

rozayx5:


why are you crediting projects done by other heads of state to Buhari
what has buhari achieved as head of state, stop beating around the bush
i cant jump the head of state and credit a mega project like a refinery to a minister who does not have the power to award such contracts

sureguy02:
LRNZH, I'm surprised that I didn't see this thread before now. You'll never find topics like this on the FP.

You remember that thread on what we could achieve with $10B...That thread never made FP because someone decided to be biased.

We need to educate Nigerians.

I think nwagkwe's sense of reasoning has been clouded with ethnic bigotry. He sees facts staring at him in the face and still dares to raise objections.

Mopolchi:
That Buhari was appointed by Abacha makes Abacha not corrupt. SMH. Let me ask: is corruption the main purpose of your vying for the office of the presidency? Corruption is not the only ill Nigeria is suffering. If you fight corruption at the top, what of the ones done in the streets? We need a leader that has Nigerians in heart, that is, one who care for our welfare. We need jobs, power, security and food. And not one who all the time talk of corruption as if its our only problem.
