Let's create a thread to update abandoned projects from nddc. Taking a picture of the project and the contract info board and posting it here will go a long way in helping expose these thieves

nice idea bro

Forward it to Mr. President for necessary action against the corrupt.

samsard:
You're being lazy in tactics. He that is not faithful in little can never possibly be faithful in anything. Mismanagement doesn't regard scale of resources.

Your argument is flawed!

You're talking as if 'mismanagement ' is only synonymous with the Niger-Delta; ie, its state gov'ts and all those useless tokenisms created to make it look like the right thing is being done!

Whatever mismanagement you see are to a large extent sympthoms of the bigger structural problem facing the country as a whole, so don't just zero in on the Niger-Delta as if other parts of the country have gotten things right!

IGBOSON1:
All this stupid NDDC, ministry of Niger-Delta, 13% and other such diversionary gimmicks are just not working! This wasn't the model UAE used to develop for crying out loud!

Go back to post independence constitution which allowed the regions (states in this case) control their own resources and develop at their own pace! Anything else, even if sustained for another 50 years will result in the same motion-without-movement...the same failure that we're witnessing today!

am telling. Nigeria taking panadol for cancer sickness and expecting a cure

Delta state has been known specifically 4 its abandoned projects...so i am not surprised...

Don’t forget that NDDC Ministers have always been Niger Deltans and the contractors are most probably Niger Deta indegenes or their vocal neighbors. I do not see how Biafra would be different.

this is just too painful. A project that was meant to help poor students and education. How did we get here, who did these to us.

igbodefendercom:
This project would have produced lots of IT capable Nigerians if it was executed on time. OP, thanks for bringing this up.

Perhaps they abandoned it to control the number of yahoo boys produced annually.

Allocating more money to people who already can't handle a sum? How is that wisdom.
There is no point in your suggestion. Let the problem be tackled from the root or else we'll continue with former office holders who are overnight billionaires. There's no point

That would be throwing the baby away with the bathwater.

helinues:
NDDC is just a cash cow to Niger Delta elites

Very true
The elites and some monarchs eat the money and prefers that the area remains undeveloped

So this is why we have abandoned projects with nddc. They award a contract to a contractor(at a percentage cost,most times more than 10 percent, of the contract sum), he takes a loan from the bank to fund the percentage sum he has to pay upfront to the nddc guys that selectively awarded him the contact. He goes to the bank again to take another loan to fund the first milestone of the job. Remember that there is an interest he is paying monthly on these loans which is most likely at double figured interest rate. Now, he completes the first milestone and then to get his money he has to bribe his way from desk to desk everyone involved in releasing the money he is meant to earn on the first milestone. This bribe is usually at least 10 percent of that milestone payment if he needs to get this money "in time". "In time" in this case is nothing less than 8 months and that's if you pay the bribes to the right people and not to middlemen . So tell me why projects wont be abandoned. The sad thing is that majority if not all of the people that collect these bribes and hold down contractor's monies are niger deltans. Instead of paying contractors they award their cronies emergency contracts and use it to siphon people's monies. God will judge them.

That's why I don't like going to ozoro because of their bad light situation even as open as ozoro is.

Thanks for the offer brother.

But I can't let it fly for that amount .

The problem of Niger Delta is our very own corrupt leaders. Very dubious entity.

And who will be “controlling” those resources?
But the likes of Ibori, Amaechi, Wike, Akpabio, Odili, etc.

AGREED that the present model is NOT working, but we should NOT simply shift the point of looting, stealing and embezzlement from Abuja to PH, Uyo, Yenagoa, Asaba, etc. We need a substantively FUNDAMENTAL shift.

This is a topic that requires more time and attention than I have at the moment, but I also AGREE that the NDDC and Niger Delta Ministry should be gotten rid of, and the 13% derivative formula revisited. However, my own suggestion for FUNDAMENTAL reform would be anchored around the PEOPLE (not rulers/leaders) of the oil producing communities (instead of, for example, not giving money to politicians in PH or Asaba for oil derived from the ecological and economic destruction of Ogoni or Isoko communities).

Simply creating a different set of greedy and rapacious RENT-SEEKERS and carpetbaggers, who add no real value but whose sole distinction are different last names, is NOT ‘change’ worthy of serious consideration.

Oniovo!

Oniovo dhooo! Thanks for this. Let's continue the whistle blowing like this instead of glorifying those thieves even when they've done nothing.
Kudos to you for this and to NL

just imagine, inside ozoro for that matter!
