Stop being childish, I know you just wanted to get likes and shares from your ilks.

Right from OBJ's tenure, Lagos and other states have constructed and maintained roads belonging to the FG only to be reimbursed later. This isn't about PMB or GEJ, it's about you and I.

Get over the election loss, GEJ is over it.

My position as an oodua nationalist is based on proper analysis of what the future holds for the homeland in that forsaken country.
You only need to look at how a country that was put in good fiscal position by a semi- literate military recruit
( Obasanjo) was destroyed by a so - called PHD holder who wouldn't have qualified for the position of manager of LAWMA.
How a nincompoop like that can get to the top is only possible in a dysfunctional country like Nigeria.
That country also gave us fayose who left to omoluabis, would have been rotting in prison a long time ago.
When you look at the demographic time bomb,the coming impact of climate change, tolerance for extreme corruption, Islamic extremism,unrestricted one-way migration and all the criminality being exported into yorubaland, the time is nigh to get out of that country.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has appealed to states to take over the repairs and maintenance of federal roads in order to reduce the burden on the Federal Government.

The council made the appeal Tuesday during a two-hour meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.

It said states that could afford to take over federal highways should do so as quickly as possible so that the roads do not go into "total deterioration."

Briefing State House correspondents later, Women Affairs Minister Aisha Alhassan said the FEC l approved a memo presented by the Minister of Power, Works, Housing and Urban Development, Babatunde Fashola, for the re-designation of two roads in Kaduna State from being federal roads to state roads as requested by Governor Nasir e-Rufai.

Alhassan said e-Rufai had sent a request to President Buhari to re-designate the Nnamdi Azikwe and the Ahmadu Bello Expressways in Kaduna as state roads so that the state government would "have the power, without any inhibition, to work on the roads to make them better for Kaduna indegenes."

The minister noted that the council was very pleased with e-Rufai's request "because ordinarily, other state governors should have requested for permission to repair and be reimbursed.

"But he (e-Rufai) asked for outright handing over to the Kaduna State government so that they can take care of it as their own, and asked the (federal) government to complete the eastern by-pass ‎which is outside Kaduna linking the North-central to North-western Nigeria. That was also approved by the council because it is a welcome idea.

"The council also appealed to other state governments that can afford to take over federal roads to lessen the burden on federal government, to enable them repair and maintain roads as quickly as possible so that they don't go into total deterioration," the minister said.

Mynd44:

The federal government need to hands off Aebokuta expressway and Lagos Ibadan expressway.

I will love to see a fast train from Ibadan to Lagos (mainland then the light rail to the island while BRT to ither areas) passing through Ogun state. If it will take people 45 or 30 minutes non stop to get to Lagos from Ibadan, people will move out and reduce the population of Lagos and the hugh cost of housing.

Even without the train, a joint venture between these three states to build and toll that road would have seen it completed more than a decade ago. The FG has too much in their hands, they should hands off some things.

SuperS1Panther:


The relatives of Benjamin Netanyahu from Uganda will come for your head for describing their Hero as an incompetent Ineffectual Buffon.

I love the way things are going. Sooner or later, we will all be forced to make compromise. There will be no secession to suit the north, but there will be regional autonomy to appease the south.

They are all coming back to our proposition for the past 25years.

With the Regional Autonomy we will take our destiny into our hands and whosoever wants to be doing Haram to Books in his region is free, whosoever that wants to be brandishing weapons all over his region in.the name of "we are militants" will also be free, while we can lock down our region for progress and development at our own pace-- whether jet or snail pace.

But the FG can take over the resources of the States.

dearpreye:


Apart from your unnecessary first paragraph, I'm in tune with your brilliant submission.

The average ND person doesn't truly want to leave Nigeria if Abuja will hands off our resources. We should be managing our resources while paying taxes to Abuja.

400billionman:
For the first time in Nigeria's history, the federal govt is begging states and maybe local governments to take over the maintenance of federal roads

This is gradual decntralization. Booharry opposes it but he will do it..

When we told him not to peg naira to dollar excahnge rate, he refused but he has obeyed of late..

Before 2019, the federal govt will be a ceremonial government..
