emiye:

Can you please shut up about this "well defined agric policy" ? is that part of the project commissioned?

Na today nigeria dey get "well defined agric policy"? he don tey !

Green Revolution .... Operation feed the nation ..... Food for all ..... Better life for rural women.......

They were all "well defined agric policy" at one point or the other in Nigeria's history.

Hey !, Are you simply dumb or being paid?

edicolove: While I think scoring GEJ now will be too early, I can jumpstart that with the following:

In roads, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads I think i have passed through this road severally, what has GEJ done since he came,any evidence or link, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works, dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation of Ibadan -Ilorin

Council also approved the re-awarding of the contract for the dualisation of the Oyo-Ogbomosho section of the Ibadan-Ilorin Road. The Minister of works explained that contract for the dualisation of Ibadan-Ilorin road section II Oyo-Ogbomosho was initially awarded in favour of Messrs P.W. Nigeria Ltd and Messrs RCC Nigeria Ltd as a joint venture in 2003 in the sum of N14.3 billion with a completion period of 30 months.

Obasanjo must have listed this as his achievement when the road contract was awarded in 2003, ENUGU-Onitsha (another awarded contract ?) , completion of OWERRI -Onitsha, 9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, award of Afikpo-Okigwe, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass to mention but a few.

In Transport, massive reforms at the ports. Sanitisation and reduction of operating agencies to 7. Introduction of 24 hrs ports operation. Ongoing Construction of light gauge train railways across t4 cardinal point of the federation

In Aviation, massive reconstruction of major airports in the land, Enugu airport is undergoing total rehabilitation. The domestic wing of Abuja airport is also being reconstructed with expansion of roads and car parks. Same fr the international wing and the kano airports (This is not the first time we have heard of MASSIVE rehabilation in the nations airport, infact the Enugu airport was opened with MASSIVE celebration after massive rehabilation in 2010 or 2011)

In Education, establishment of 9 new federal universities in less than 1 year. Constructed 2 new campuses of the Nigerian law schools in Yenagoa and Yola respectively (more of a political move than developmental one, are the public universities really improving? ). Launched the Almajiri schools for education of itenerant Islamic pupils in the north (What has been the impact so far?, how many almajiris have now enrolled in to the schools,or are now out of the street? wFhich Buhari and other northern leaders abandoned. Increased funding to almost 400 billion to education thereby setting an all time highest record. Reinvigorated the inspectorate oversight of schools leading to the revocation of some licenses from universities (you mean NUC has not been deaccrediting courses before GEJ, stop using rhetorics jo !). Executed the landmark upgrade of university lecturers retirement age from 65 to 70 ( No biggie about this, it could easily be argued in some quarters to be a negative trend).

In agriculture, for the first time in our history, we have a clearly defined agricultural policy which is targeted towards maximum utilisation of cassava for growth thru the launch of the cassava bread campaign (This is not true, Obasanjo started this, in actual fact many stakeholders are not carried along yet(bakers, legislators,consumers ) as regards the cassava policy, needed machineries are also not available yet . The policy is intended to reduce our reliance on imported wheat so as to encourage local production of cassava and it's conversion to flour for bakery. The FG has in less than one year eliminated the middlemen cartel that fed fat on fertiliser distribution at the expense of local farmers. Now through deregulation reforms, fertiliser is now accessible in the open market. he has also embarked on massive construction of silos and has increased import duties on the importation of rice in order to encourage local farmers (Can the farmers within the short while meet the needed level of production and quality ?, Nigeria is the second largest importer of rice worldwide, we import over 90% of our consumption. The increase in import duty is ill timed,at least if 60% of the demand can be met locally, maybe that can be laudable) The efforts of the minister has been so appreciable that the world bank assisted with over 50 billion Naira for fertiliser redistribution scheme/ silos. The CBN has also set up a 500 billion loan scheme which is to assist farmers (What is the access rate to the loan? news like this are so common,but those who need it do not have access to it). Farmers database is being compiled nationwide and improved seedlings are being distributed to them. (i would have love to see an electronic database of Nigerian farmers )

The power roadmap is on as you know and PHCN has been unbundled. The PIB has been sent to the NASS and is expected to be passed into law as soon as it scales the NASS.( Till then, the PIB was hot in the news in the 6th republic and back to square one )

Like I said, we hope he succeeds for the benefit of Nigeria but I will prefer to start accessing him at least, after 2 to 3 years.(he has spent over 2 years already, maybe a year more to access him would have been more appropriate)

omosexy1: I am no Fashola supporter neither do I support GEJ. However, when people claim Fashola is working, I look to the left and right and ask how. Lagos is a fortunate state because of its previous status as FCT and no doubt supports the Nigerian economy. So it is very clear that the Federal Govt will never neglect Lagos, like they have done to other state, because of this support. I want to ask Fashola's supporters what has he done in Education (private schools have taken over Lagos educational system, parents pay from their noses to send their children to good schools because the public schools are written off. Guess what Fashola has done, he renovated, sorry repainted public schools, increased LASU school fees). I also want to ask what Fashola has done in housing. He passed the one year tenancy bill, without providing housing units. Now landlords have skyrocketed their tenancy rates x2, people now pay rent of 2 years in 1 year. Please Fashola's supporters tell me if Fashola provides the water you drink? Also tell me if Fashola has done something about the nuisance called Area boys in Lagos. The BRT is a public-private venture. I have never seen a government that provide public service yet tax them for it (Lekki-Epe expressway). I have never seen a government that neglects LGAs because they don't provide enough revenue for the government (go to Alimosho LGA, that place is a village you can use to act the Gods must crazy-kind of movie). Fashola has concentrated more on Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki and he has neglected poorer LGAs. Now He wants to pass a traffic law (aimed at generating revenue) without putting things in place, such as directional signs, traffic lights and educated traffic wardens.

I live in Lagos, I pay my taxes as at when due without owing neither the Federal Govt nor Fashola and his hand-stiffed collector Babatunde Fowler yet I do not enjoy privileges due to a decent citizen. Now if you tell me Fashola is working, I think you need to re-examine your senses first then go and get a performance criteria worksheet and list out all his achievements. 60% are private-public joint ventures initiated by private businessmen and some where initiated by the Federal Government (please I don't mean GEJ cos I don't care about that man). Now tell me what has Fashola done?
