1billion Why, when millions can't even afford 100 Naira

Please don't believe that crap, the FG wouldn't even pay his £200k medical bill, they have given a total of 46 million only as we speak.. His cousin / family are very furious with these lies coming from the federal government.. Chief Ekwueme's body touched down Abuja this morning from London via Virgin airlines, and it was all paid by the family..

APC is a disgrace to Nigeria; labour and Employment minister of Nigeria is a prodigal son! What a foolish statement from a foolish government of Nigeria.

Buhari wen I know spend 1b, na lie abeg

Shioor....

wasteful

So Ngige is now in competition with Liar Mohammed? Ekwueme family paid Virgin airline to bring his corpse home, and no road was constructed in Any part of Anambra. Please enough of these lies about Ekwueme and his death!

Incompetent simpletons that have reduced governance to a thing of ridicule and beer parlor banter!!

This ngige is just a complicated compendium fool.
Why bring tribe to this national leader?
Someone who was a vice president n constitutionally is supposed to be taken care by the fed govt, n this foolish short shitholean is talking as if govt of buhari is doing him a favor....

Umaru YarAdua was the serving president when he died. Nothing like this waste was incurred by the government for a so called … honoring the dead.

Straight from Lying Mohammed's book of lies.

Do people have to die before we build roads? How many km of roads were built to bury a serving president YarAdua?
Nigeria must resist being sucked into this primitive retrogressive culture of reckless spending for the dead while the living are suffering.

God help us in this country!!!

Ngige you have now joined Lai Muhammad in lying. Remember your children and where you come from. A whole much of integrity to maintain. You are not like them please.

Everything is business in this country

This man Ngige is just a foolish man is that his personal mny? This man is Ewu

Is the N1 Billion Naira his personal money? The narrative ought to have been 'FG spent N1 Billion Naira'

Roads rehabilitation gulps N480m
As Anambra declares work-free day for funeral
Tony Okafor, Awka

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, has said President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to giving a former Vice President, late Dr. Alex Ekwueme, a befitting burial.

Ngige spoke on Sunday at Ekwueme’s hometown in Oko, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State after inspecting facilities for the burial of the late VP.



He said Buhari had committed about N1bn on Ekwueme from the day the Federal Government took over his medical bills to date.



While saying that road rehabilitation alone in Anambra State and neighbouring communities of Imo and Abia states in preparation for Ekwueme’s burial had gulped about N480m, Ngige said Federal Government was not leaving anything to chances in ensuring that the Ekwueme family enjoys the role their late patriarch played in building a better Nigeria

He said, “You know that I belong to the Ekwueme family; I’m part of that family.

“I’m in various committees and subcommittees for the burial of this great statesman. I can tell you authoritatively that Mr President (Buhari) is committed and passionate in ensuring a befitting burial for Ekwueme.

“If he doesn’t come for the burial himself, I’m sure the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, will be here for the burial as a matter of right.

“So, I’m here to inspect the facilities in preparation for his burial; and I can tell you that I’m satisfied with the progress of work.

“The Federal Government is doing rehabilitation works on Amawbia/Ekwulobia road, up to Uga and Akokwa in Imo State.

“We’re also doing road rehabilitation on Oko/Umunze road up to Ibinta in Abia State.



“I know the cost of all this, not less than N480m.

“The Federal Government is building the mausoleum, which will contain a modern library and other facilities and I also know the cost of that too.

“And remember that the Federal Government took up all the medical bills of flying him abroad and bringing him back to Nigeria from London upon his death.

“The cost of hiring an air ambulance is not a joke. So, Buhari has honoured this Igbo son in all ramifications.

“He has committed not less than a billion naira in this project because he is passionate about it,” Ngige stated.

The Minister added that the Federal Government was considering naming a national monument after Ekwueme to immortalise him.

Similarly, the Anambra State Government has commenced works on internal roads in Oko and environs, preparatory for the burial.

Briefing reporters, a Senior Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Inter-Party matters, Chief Ben Obi, said a virgin four-kilometre road had been created in the area for easy movement during the funeral.

He said parking bays had been created in about six points, where shuttles would be provided to ferry mourners to the funeral venue, while St Mary’s Catholic Church, Oko, playground would serve as a helipad for the Vice President’s visit.

Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has declared Thursday this week as a work-free day.

In a public service announcement by the Secretary to the Anambra State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, all markets and businesses in the state would be closed on that day.

The announcement read in part, “As part of the funeral arrangements for the late Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme (GCON), Anambra State Government hereby announces that … Thursday, February 1st, 2018 is work-free day in Anambra State.

“All markets and businesses will be closed on that day to enable Ndi Anambra, friends, associates and well wishers to pay our last respect to the late Vice President.

“All those attending the commendation ceremony, including various social, cultural, religious, political, professional, educational, market men and women, and all other groups are to be seated by 10am prompt.”

Born October 21,1932, Ekwueme died on Sunday 19th November 2017 at a London hospital

He served as first elected Vice President of Nigeria from 1979 to 1983 under a former President, Shehu Shagari.
