With oil price in the region of $9 a barrel, Gen. Abacha grew external reserves from $494 million in 1993 to about $9.6 billion in 1998, and executed enduring projects such as, to name a few:

1)National Assembly Complex
2) Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG)
3) Federal Medical Centers (FMC) in all the State Capitals
4) National Hospital Abuja.
5) Women and Children hospital, Sokoto
6) Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano
7) Gwarinpa Housing Estate
Apo Legislative Quarters
9) Aluminum Smelting Company, Akwa Ibom
10) PTF drugs and beds in all the federal government hospitals
11) PTF roads, and water projects across Nigeria
12) Lecture Halls, Campus buses and Hostels in all the Federal universities
13) Establishment and funding of the National Health Insurance Scheme
14) Federal Mass Assisted Bus Service.
15) Revival of the Nigerian Ports Authority

17) Export Processing Zones
18) Groundwork for Mobile Telecommunications in Nigeria

And yet he had enough cash remaining to tiff trillions of Naira

So with all these remarkable projects, do you really believe that Abacha stole?

He stole more than buharri sef

Sam Aluko's idea. The day the former minister of finance Adeosun resigned the account have been in trouble common sense have since disappeared.

Abacha tried sha , till date Buhari has not built a single hospital

Which former minister of Finance are you referring to?

The truth is that democracy as practised in Nigeria is expensive.

108 members of the senate and another 350 members of house of reps not to talk of the state houses then you realise it is simply a conduit.


A leader with a plan would simply be getting opposition on every topic till his tenure is over.

In the 80s when Buhari was military head of state was he running a democracy then that in 18 months he didn't initiate a single capital project ?

When you want to steal, steal in the way you won't be caught the only wrong of Abacha was the killing of innocent citizens and those who dare to challenge him.imagine the growth in the national reserve and the project he carried out in 4 years, but our new cry baby of Government keep complaining about everything

Which former minister of Finance are you referring to?

The one from Ogun

GamalNasser:

How have your finances improved in the last 18 months?

Don't give any excuse.

slimfit1:


The one from Ogun

Who are you referring to?

Sam Aluko wasnt from Ogun neither was he minister of finance so who are you referring to?

rusher14:


How have your finances improved in the last 18 months?

Don't give any excuse.

Yes my finances and prospect has improved in the last 18month , in 18 months I have concieved, initiated , licensed a sports betting business and another novel VAS with all 3 telcos in Nigeria . Yes 18 months is okay to make a difference

So Buhari's policies are yielding fruits.

Maybe because we didn't have the so called legislators and the humongous amount of money budgeted for them.

With the huge amount allotted to the legislators alone, I strongly believe you can execute the aforementioned project.

Democracy in Nigeria is costly.

If you check what our

Presidents

Vice Presidents

Governors

Dept Governors

Senators

House of rep members

Have received as salaries and allowances , you will understand.

Let me not talk of what this thieves receive after leaving office which is much more.

Only way is to reduce that drastically first making politics not lucrative and then starting productiona to get dollars.

rusher14:


Who are you referring to?

Sam Aluko wasnt from Ogun neither was he minister of finance so who are you referring to?

Adeosun for Buhari Aluko for Abacha

Adeosun for Buhari Aluko for Abacha

Aluko was never minister of finance.

He was head of the National Economic Intelligence Committee.

To be fair, it was perhaps bigger than the ministry of finance because they coordinated everything.
But it wasnt his official portfolio.
