As chief resident-in-Chief, let's start with monorail before we talk about bad roads and pot holes in Trans-Amadi and beyond.

Why not start with the 500 schools governor Amaechi built to international standard and sent Children to school free of charge with Uniforms, Sandals, Socks and Books all provided by the government. Why not start with Golf Estate that Amaechi built or the standard Hospitals, Or the Federal roads he constructed that made GEJ pay the state over a Hundred Billion naira. Or the Fly Overs or the Sports Centers with top equipments or Stadium. Pleasez I said unless you do not live in Port Harcourt, you will know Amaechi is the best Governor Rivers State ever had.

He was so good that the President decided to fight him amd starve him from funds for continuing his projects. Many Children were treated in the state free of charge from the government purse. Free surgeries for mothers with Antenatal complications.

Amaechi would have gone far in that Monorail project if not that GEJ and his forty thieves decided to starve the Best Rivers State Government of funds to develop the state.

Within the first few lines I knew the score.

The writer most likely works for a faction of PDP, perhaps PDP wailers in the USA, and he just polished dup what they wrote for him.

No american is that much embedded in Nigeria to care at that level. And if they happen to be then they wouldn't have time to sit and write this.

Besides the write isn't scared of Buhari because he knows that he'll never set foot in Nigeria.

I do feel a coup coming though but I heard they retired all the high ranking officers that can mount a coup.

A powder keg.

He amassed $3bn/yr=$24bn for 8yrs.. City of Chicago spends $3bn a yr and it a world class city.. $24bn can build a new world class city. Same amount a country like Rwanda spends in a yr.
He spent about $1bn on an 6.5km monorail without completion; that's about $ 153m per km.. World's costliest rail system, oh btw this project is abandoned after his cronies had been paid about $300m for " consulting fees"
Ethiopia built ultra-mordern 34km rail sytem at $475m and it's working! That's about $13.9m per km... Let's stick to these numbers first.

So you expect City of Port Harcourt to use the same operational cost as Chicago. I repeat, GEJ knew Amaechi would have taken strides in the rail system and starved the state of funds.

He employed thousands of teachers through his teachers training program and created employment for thousands of people through TIMARIV.

Best Rivers State Governor ever. Using financial expenditures of American states can not change the truth.

Keep picking and choosing! I cited Rwanda as country which has an annual budget less than Rivers state. I cited Addis Ababa rail system costing $13.9m per km while Amechi's uncompleted monorail cost $153.m per km, so he charged Rivers 1100% more than what Ethiopian paid for a better system.

Who would have thought that the ALUU - UNIPORT road would be totally reconstructed? Who would have thought that the ALUU primary health centre would be a blessing as UPTH is on strike?

You guys live on some critical lines. I would have taken the Monorail criticism seriously if GEJ did not deliberately stop the project by starving the state of funds.

We can not know the level or distance he would have covered. He carried out other projects like the New Mile One Market and the New Stadium to top quality. Lack of funds stop the project. So I can not judge him on that. I judge him on the projects he completed like the Flyover at Agip junction.

Model Primary schools

At the inception of his administration, Governor Chibuike Amaechi placed a state of emergency on Education and took over the responsibility of Primary schools from the Local Government Councils. The Governor came up with the idea of building new model Primary schools to the standard of the United Nations and obtainable in developed parts of the world. With a target of 700 Model Primary Schools, the Amaechi administration has completed 500 across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State. They are equipped with ICT facility, modern library, science laboratory, football field, basketball pitch, volleyball pitch and Nursery playground.

Model Secondary Schools

24 model Secondary Schools are being built, 1 in each Local Government Area, well structured and fully equipped with modern day educational, recreation and boarding facilities with standard housing for teachers, these secondary schools have grossly been referred to by observers as Universities.

Governor Chibuike Amaechi has consistently regarded power as key to economic development of the State, thus his administration has worked fervently in the areas of Power Generation, Transmission, Rural electrification and intervention schemes to achieve 24 hours power supply, while negotiations are on with the Federal Government to facilitate distribution which constitutionally is the sole responsibility of the Federal Government.

On Power Generation, the government targets 715 megawatts of Power to ensure adequate power supply in the State. 460 mega watts have been completed, 130MW at Trans Amadi, 150MW at Omoku, 180MW at Afam. 75MW at Onne is still ongoing while another 180MW at Afam is underway to make a total of 715 Mega Watts.

DSC_0755

Songhai is a center for training, agricultural production, research and development of sustainable agricultural practices.

The programme was conceived when Governor Chibuike Amaechi visited the Songhai Centre in Porto Novo and was impressed with the model and decided it would work well in Rivers State.

Work began at the Rivers Songhai farm in 2010, before then a group of 105 young men and women drawn from the 23 Local Government Areas of the state had been sent to Songhai International Centre in Benin Republic for 18-month training in various specialized Agric and Agro based areas as well as develop entrepreneurial culture.

The farm project sits on a 314-hectare land in Bunu-Tai, an agrarian community in Tai Local Government Area of the state. It is about 20 times the size of the Songhai model — an integrated farm which combines livestock, arable farming, fisheries, snail farming and poultry.

Bruise frien is an American lawyer. The deal is, how come he knows so much about happening in Nigeria especially on the Arms Deal investigation?

“He placed Mr. Dasuki under house arrest. He confiscated his passport. He charged him with firearms and money laundering violations. He sought a secret trial to prevent independent scrutiny.
“He opposed Mr. Dasuki’s pretrial application to the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja for permission to receive urgent medical treatment for cancer in London, but it was nonetheless granted.
“Justice Adeniyi Ademola explained that an accused is presumed innocent before trial, and that a citizen’s health is paramount before the law. Mr. Buhari was ordered to release Mr. Dasuki’s international passport.
“Mr. Buhari defied the order. He put Mr. Dasuki’s house under siege, a microcosm of the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. Mr. Dasuki returned to court. Justice Ademola reaffirmed his order, asserting “My own orders will not be flouted.”
“Mr. Buhari has not yet budged. As a military dictator in 1985, he similarly seized the international passport of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to thwart his travel for medical treatment, which caused his death in 1987. The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Calling Dasuki’s situation an “ongoing persecution,” Fein noted disparagingly that “Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly and Senate have been reduced to playing the roles of extras in cinematic extravaganzas.”

Seriously, how did they calculate the N52 Billion? Other Governors got allocation and they have nothing to show for it. This man excelled beyond measures. Yet, he is the one with missing money and the Gov. who wasted their states resources do not have missing money.

I do not pay attention to all those gossips. If someone did well, you will see the fruit of his work. Amaechi is one of the best governors Nigeria ever had, so I wonder why he is the target for corrupt accusations while men who could not perform close to him, did not generate close to the kind of internal generated revenues he created are not the target.
