Normally I don't like posting on nairaland but when I see posts about Osun State, I can't help but reply.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, please don't just stay in Lagos and judge Osun state development based on Osun Defender. This is a newspaper used by Aregbe against Oyin then, so I wounder what you expect from such paper. Osun is moving so fast that all the state owned tertiary institutions (except Uniosun) had been on strike for the past 3months and what's the Gov's reply? "Workers always strike. Its nothing new." workers salaries are always delayed for more than a month. The september salary was paid two days ago contrary to his wide spread newspaper claim. Only God knows when october will be paid. All of you commending his initiative with O' yes, I pray that you'll all have a family with degree that'll cut bushes, clear gutter every day of the month for #10,000 salary. Speak against him and disappear, that's the new order in the state. Am not a fan of PDP neither will I allow a Nigerian politician to claim Holy pass for me. Diverting Osun state funds to the new state capital in Lagos. Having imported Osun state INDIGEN from lagos as commissioners that has not been it the state since its creation. If you're not in osun state and partake in the current hardship faced by us, please don't comment or else, your life will experience the same progress you claimed that osun state is having. Out of here.

I pray that you'll all have a family with degree that'll cut bushes, clear gutter every day of the month for #10,000 salary.

I am happy to comment so that my life can indeed have the same success Osun is having and will continue to have. We all don't see things the same. Your views show that you will always criticise good effort in so far as it is not what you want to see . What you write below indicates why Nigeria is where it is today.

We are a very poor Nation with serious unemployment yet you bring educational status into this? My friend, graduates are flipping burgers in the UK today !!!! Besides, what 'dignifed' jobs , paying N100,000 per month, do you want our graduates to walk into? In your opinion, it is better for our graduate to sit at home or become involved in crime rather than be gainfully employed while being trained/prepared for better future employment? I have many family members who graduated years ago and are still jobless. Believe me when I say they would rather be earning N10,000 than begging others as they are forced to do. Aregbesola is asking the entire State to partner with him in reversing devastating rot. This is no time for anyone to be filled with false pride or be demanding jobs that simply do not exist. This, for Osun, is a period where everyone, including you, should be realistic plus pull their weight and assist the leaders.

Things are being done in the right order and if you were not too impatient and judgemental you would see it. When Aregbesola's laudable efforts of diversifying economic activities and attracting FDI begin to pay off , you will see graduates gaining 'dignified' jobs. For now support your Governor and[b] educate yourself about the real state of affairs[/b]. Knowing the problem means we can understand the solution better . If Aregbesola did not create the situation where 'dignified' jobs for graduate are non-existent, why blame him for that? Why knock his effort to give these graduates some dignity until better is available?

Aregbesola did not cause the problems facing Osun. You should admit this to yourself. Rather, graduates do not have 'dignified' jobs because some , for 7.5 years, did not believe in doing anything other than brandishing begging bowls in the direction of the FG. Aregbesola is doing the only thing that can help to develop Osun i.e diversifying the economic activities of the State to secure more income, provide jobs and accelerate development. All what you want to see will only happen when Osun moves away from being a civil service State, totally dependent on allocation from the centre, to become an economically vibrant State with diverse activities of commerce, business, service provision and trading . Some were happy to leave Osun a backwater state for almost 8 years. The 'fightback' to reverse the decay  will need people to educate themselves about the efforts of Aregbesola and criticise objectively.

NRC’s Managing Director Adeseyi Sijuwade said the corporation, in collaboration with the Osun State Government, would boost the state’s economy through freight services. Sijuwade said the NRC has dedicated wagons to service the state. He said: “When the NRC completes ongoing rehabilitation of its facilities, we shall collaborate with other state governments, organisations and any person that requires our services.

@^^ You have not disproved Gbawe's points/reasons based on facts on ground from residents and actual projects on ground too. What is it that you find distasteful about Aregbesola's actions or Gbawe's write-up? There's dignity in labour hence the state is implementing long-term people /work/ income generating projects. Which do you prefer "grandiose projects" like stadiums or airports etc that don't exactly impact on the lives of the majority citizens economically or emotionally either. We should try to subsume our typically Nigerian [b]instinctive [/b]desire to criticise and condemn, especially if we are not exactly privy to facts on ground, local knowledge, or even knowledgeable enough about the country at large. I can understand that some of journalists/media houses are terrible indeed in misinforming the public or rather most of them are ignorant of what development is because they have been schooled badly to think negatively always. They seem to have a dependency syndrome hence support for bad government that give away hand-outs to synchophants.

Nigeria: Aregbesola Orders Rehabilitation of Waterworks

Yetunde Oladejo

4 October 2011

   
Osogbo — IN its bid to provide potable water for the people of the state, Osun State government yesterday awarded N417,974,970.00 contract for the emergency rehabilitation of the Ede Waterworks.

Signing the agreement with the company on behalf of the government for the award of the contract in Osogbo, the state capital, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Water Resources, Engineer (Mrs.) Tawa Williams, said that the project must be completed within a stipulated period of six months.

Williams said over 20 million gallons of water per day would be made available to the people of the state on completion of the rehabilitation.

Describing the signing of the agreement with the company as a milestone in the life of the present administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, the Special Adviser noted that the government was carrying out the partial rehabilitation of the waterworks to improve its output capacity to about 50 per cent.

She said the governor had entered into partnership with the World Bank for the comprehensive rehabilitation of the waterworks, but pending the time the bank would come in, the present administration decided to embark on the partial rehabilitation of the project.

[b]The scope of the emergency rehabilitation, according to her, includes "provision of two 2,500 cubic metre and hour Low Lift Pump sets; provision of 1500KVA Generating Set at the High Lift Station; provision of two 2MVA outdoor power transformer with its associated control panels at the High Lift Station and high Tension Building respectively; and provision of chemical dosing pumps for Lime and Alum".

Williams noted that all main pipes in the affected areas would be repaired or replaced to minimize waste and ensure effective use of water, adding that pipes would also be extended to newly developed areas.

She noted that when partnership between the state government and the World Bank begins to take effect next year under the World Bank Assisted Water Supply Programme, there would be complete rehabilitation of Ede Headworks, which would give 100 per cent and full capacity water outflow.

Construction of new Ilesa Urban Water Scheme, according to her, would also be carried out under the programme, while the ongoing Ile-Ife Urban Water Scheme would be completed, adding that there would be rehabilitation of all existing water schemes, and repair and desilting of dams in Eko-Ende, Esa-Odo, Iwo and Ede.

For the monitoring of the project, she stated that the present administration would introduce new system of monitoring of projects which had not been done in the past, noting that the governor had also directed the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Finance to participate in the monitoring of the project.

She reiterated the commitment of the government of the state to give the issue of water supply topmost priority and ensure that the dividend of democracy is brought to the doorsteps of the people of the state in all ramifications.

The contract was awarded to Messrs Seg Mahsen and Co Nigeria Ltd.

Responding on behalf of the company, the leader of the team, Dr Abraham Olusegun said that the company would handle the project with all sincerity and ensure that it is completed within the stipulated period.
