^^^ Sorry, you missed out Airforce - Eliozu road constructed by StarBoard's mentor Odili. Ameachi had to escavate the whole road to get it fixed.

This was one of the worst roads in PH until amaechi decided to reconstruct the whole road, the man basically tore the former one down , even the flyover is not left out, i remember nearly having an accident on that flyover grin grin grin, but the point is, he has and is making a difference as governor,
he has identified bad drainages as a cause of roads breaking down and is slowly but steadily converting open drains to underground drains, look at OLU OBASANJO and STADIUM road,
well all i can say is that the effects of all these constructions will not be felt now,

dont come off sounding like you have a personal vendetta against the man, if the above roads were not done or completed, na still you go come here dey cry blue murder, i ask again Do you live in PH?
I don't have a vendetta against Amaechi.I don't know him from a can of paint.So i have no reason to have anything personal against him.
My gripe with him has been highlighted by the fellow who released  the figures on Federation account allocation.If he collects that and is left with muddy,pot-hole infested roads in Port Harcourt,he is a failure.
As per the monorail,it still goes to show my point,which is a distinct LACK OF VISION IN GOVERNANCE:something he has in common with Odili.Odili did nothing;Amaechi is confusing things with the ones he is doing,in a bid to appear smart.

Fine the roads you listed are better now,but what about maintenance?Does that word exist in Amaechi's dictionary?Isn't Odili Road already developing holes?
What do you have to say about his jet plane?Isn't that lack of vision?What about hosting the sports festival that Rivers didn't need to?

Rivers’ll take delivery of new trains soon – Commissioner

The Rivers State government has said that brand new trains will be arriving in the country soon from Switzerland. The trains are for the state’s mass transit project.

Transport Commissioner, Mr. George Tolofari, who made this known, said more rail tracks and other equipment for the state’s multi-billion naira monorail project have arrived Port Harcourt, the state capital. “The trains, which are being built in Switzerland will arrive in Nigeria soon!, he said. The commissioner, who was speaking at Onne Port, while inspecting the equipment, accordingly appealed to those who are skeptical about the mass transit project, to be patient with government.

He said as soon as the facilities were cleared by the customs, they will be transferred to the built warehouse located in Trans-Amadi, the industrial hub of the state in Port Harcourt. Tolofari said part of the delay in the early completion of the monorail project was the heavy rains in the state. The project, which has so far gulped N11bn, according to the commissioner, is to be powered by independent power supply. He claimed that the epileptic power supply from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) will not affect the project, adding that those who feel that the monorail will result in the demolition of their houses have no cause to worry.

“Government has done a survey of the routes and discovered that only few houses will be affected”, the transport commissioner said, pointing out that adequate compensation will be paid for such houses. Governor Chibuike Amaechi, has already given those affected seven days notice to vacate the marked houses before the bulldozers start to roll in to reduce them to rubbles.

The houses are at Azikiwe Road, Port Harcourt. Before now, there have been fears of massive demolition as a result of the monorail project. The fears according to Tolofari, were unfounded. He said the first phase of the project will be completed before December next year. “The arrival of these equipment is evidence that the monorail is not an abandoned project as being touted by some uninformed people”, the commissioner said.

Lol.This is shocking.
I'm back from my school run.Luckily my car is still in one piece.
Starting with the figures.
If I averaged those figures,I could easily deduce how much Amaechi has recieved as Governor of rives state from the federation account,
Try being smart.Those figures will give you an idea of how much your governor has squandered/looted.
Which brings me to the Sports festival issue.Apart from just being an avenue to show off,Rivers State benefited ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from hosting that jamboree.Kindly convince me that I am wrong.It's not like it was the first time Rivers was hosting it anyway.Apart from wasting resources,the event was a drain on man hours spent on the roads.What happened to Liberation Stadium that used to host Super Eagles games in 2000-2001?Instead Amaechi decides to build a brand-new stadium in Port Harcourt,for reasons best known to him.And you think it's ok to waste that kind of money.
To Odili road.So because a governor didn't do a road,it shouldn't get involved if it starts to fall apart?Is that a smart enough reponse?
I remember Amaechi trumpeting an operation-zero pothole jargon all over the place.The commissioner for works and his cronies have eaten their money and the project forgotten,but the pot-holes still stare at our cars.Anything to say on that one?
I came in March 2007 around the election period when militants were wrecking havoc in town.So I have an idea of what Port Harcourt was.Prior to that,you would think I dropped from Mars and landed in Port Harcourt,but in your skewed way of thinking,you forgot that Port Harcourt is not a closed enclave:people can visit it anytime.I had been coming to PH at least twice a year since 2002 on trainings and missions.So hold your horses on that one,since you are supposed to be the mayor of PH and you should know who and who lives in it at any given time.
I ask how Amaechi is better than Odili because I still see a visionless,directionless,purposeless and planless government moving in circles with all movement but no motion.
I ask how Amaechi is better than Odili when he decides to borrow a bond and enslave Rivers indegenes for years to come to develop GReater Port Harcourt at the expense of the existing Port Harcourt,after telling us in his usual propagandist style that he saves at least 1billion Naira every month.
I ask how Odili is worse than Amaechi when Amaechi  embarks on futile ventures like monorail project he saw work in the developed world.
I ask how Amaechi is better than Odili when Amaechi refuses initially to pay teachers and medical doctors decent wages but builds world-class facilities to host these same doctors.
I ask how Amaechi is better than Odili when Amaechi commits huge finances (public) at his disposal to ensure he remains governor and intimidates everybody into voting for him.
I rest my case.
BTW,don't be fooled by the Greater Port Harcourt gimmick.Amaechi desperately wants Port Harcourt to look like a city in the developed world,hence the phantom vision of Greater Port Harcourt.This has nothing to do with moving any facility out of congested Port Harcourt.
If he is concerned about the congested nature of the town,his first priority would be to sanitize the town instead of building another town entirely.The emphasis on this new town has led to this bond issue.Port Harcourt isn't more crowded than Lagos,but Fashola isn't talking about a new Lagos.Same as cities like Ibadan and Kano which have significantly higher population densities.
But you'll say I'm not objective,which happens to be your only line of defense against me.
Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by Nobody: 2:55pm On Sep 21, 2011
Amechi rushed into projects without planning.
Initially he was shouting that he was saving money for the state, right now, he is borrowing huge amounts of money.
The latest is N100B with 8% annual interest.

Those of us that live in PH are suffering because our Governor does not know anything about leadership, but he is a politician, the type Nigeria produces.

You really can not worry too much about people running and succumbing to propaganda, ethnic and tribal interests trumps common sense and objectivity.

With so much money/Largest state budget in Nigeria and little responsibilities in terms of population and demand, this state should be looking like Dubai of Nigeria or at least on it's way, but instead, you can not differentiate this state from the poorest state in Nigeria. Nothing ground breaking, nothing visionary, just missed opportunities and the largest budget in Nigeria going down the drain and unaccounted for.

Well, at least the governor is blessed with his own tax payers funded plane to jet around in and he must not be subjected to the same hardship on the ground that the same tax payers endure everyday.

The embolded is so on point.This government/administration is so bent on propaganda,but there remains little to show for it.
As for the airplane,I still want these defenders of amaechi to put up some kind of defence.
Then we'll know how people-oriented he is.
He secured a bond to build a new town after telling us he saves 1 million Naira every month but the roads in the existing town are hardly passable and cause users so much heart-ache and harrowing pains.
He is an abject failure in every sense of the word,given the resources at his disposal.
The state of roads only serve to highlight his planlessness/lack of vision.
Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by niviso: 6:25pm On Sep 21, 2011
Rivers money for Rivers people not a bad idea at all. The pain is what those who got the jobs did with the monies they were paid.
It is simple:
1. Lack of project planning on the part of the contractors
2. Lack of foresight
3. Lack of Project Management skills

Who says they would not have built world class construction firms from what they were paid?
Who says with the right strategy they will not be basking on more jobs for the successes recorded.
It is all about vision and the initiative to succeed against all odds.

May be they got the money and they went to "sleep".

Imagine that the executives of such firms took the time to hire the best hands, as most successful business executives do, while not experts in the field themselves they hire the best heads and hands, get the best equipments and delivery is on target. They should have learned from the likes of Bill Gates he will always get the best heads for his projects.
It is an issue of Project Management considering the 9 Project Management body of knowledge and living it out in the course of a project.

Time to develop our people for the future and with the potentials for growth.

Lets support and Groom Firms to meet our aspiration.

Roads in PH are in a mess. Government is waiting for the rains to stop before they'd start work. My question is:
Is this the first time we are experiencing rains in Port Harcourt? Is this the first raining season? Are we shocked that it rains from April to September/October annually in this state? How come all over Port HArcourt, people are crying, lamenting and raining courses on the government?
I think the current administration has been misguided on this instance.
You don't have to wait for the roads to cut into two and become un-motorable before you swing into action.
I believe that if PH is divided into 3 or 4 zones and 3 or 4 contractors (even tested indigenous ones) are awarded a running contract for say 2/3 years simuultanously to ensure there are no pot holes exceeding a specified diameter/section, the state of the roads would never have come to what it is now.
Re: State Of Roads In Rivers State (the Home Of Red Mud!) by uhuns: 12:21pm On Sep 22, 2011
En guys

Am sure that some guys are from "educationally disadvantage states here------from their write ups," I guess we should learn to deal with the message only.

The issue here is that most people in ph are not seeing the difference in governance between this administration and the last. Considering the following:

1. Yearly budget of 400billion compared to Edo state of 70bn and which has a bigger occupied land mass
2. Conditions of road having spent 3yrs in office
3. Ph and rains are brothers ( ie the lame excuses)
4. Maintainace of old road, const. of new one, reconstruction of old one-------planning/ prioritization
5. School project over sized------should have phased this. 30-----30------------40%

The most baffling thing is their complain of rain in the disturbance of the road project yet during the dry season not much headway is made then the next raining season starts. There should be a time frame for the completion of all these projects; take the uniport - rumuokwuta road - ongoing for the past 7 years still not fully complete and the one that is a bit complete is getting bad already.

I admire your defence of Amaechi. Last time i was in PH, i could tell Amaechi had the best of intentions just like u said. One major problem is that our standard in Naija has crashed to minus 20 level. So, in the land of poor town planners and civil engineering designers, the few around will obviously have nothing special to show for all the money they are paid.

Amaechi and others like him (including Fashola) were given only 4 - 8 years to fix a problem that has existed since Naija people started to construct their own roads (WITHOUT AN INTEGRATED DRAINAGE SYSTEM)  so, am not surprised it packs up after 2 years max!

The DRAINAGE SYSTEM in PH as a whole has to be RE-DESIGNED, BEFORE any serious effort is made to BUILD major ROADS, else. more iwayi go enter grand!!!  lol

Posts like these give me joy and hope that some people actually think with their heads instead of following blindly.
Or is the poster "not objective"?
uhuns:

En guys

Am sure that some guys are from "educationally disadvantage states here------from their write ups," I guess we should learn to deal with the message only.
The issue here is that most people in ph are not seeing the difference in governance between this administration and the last. Considering the following:
1. Yearly budget of 400billion compared to Edo state of 70bn and which has a bigger occupied land mass
2. Conditions of road having spent 3yrs in office
3. Ph and rains are brothers ( ie the lame excuses)
4. Maintainace of old road, const. of new one, reconstruction of old one-------planning/ prioritization
5. School project over sized------should have phased this. 30-----30------------40%
6. Mono rail project -------moved till 2040
7. Bottom line don’t see any major changes. Though am not expecting any

There seem to be a serious problem here. I may be wrong though.
The Elekahia, Stadium, Rumumasi some parts of Trans Amadi axis have become beautiful sites to behold. The flooding that ravaged those areas has eased off. I remember a friend relocated from Stadium road area because of the flooding there. Today its a different story. Its all joy within that neigbourhood. But, But the Ada George by Iwofe road axis is a very sorry sight.
While MCC keeps working along Stadium road axis, even under the rain, the company handling the job at the Ada george axis are sleeping as it were.
What is the problem?
Have they not been paid?
They should be made to do the job thay have been paid for. Unless there is "something else".

Its almost June, and the roads are even worse.
I stay around there and I'm considering abandoning my house to get a place somewhere else.
Earlier this week a tanker fell in the bad road, same thing happened last week.
Its terrible honestly, I might take pictures when I go out today. Iwofe road, Elioparanwo road, two neighbouring hazards.
