Geofavor:
wrong. No school will raise their general cut-off above 200. In fact, the general cut-off is 180. But some stubborn schools make theirs 200 and they can't make it above that.

Unilorin would def be 240 for med/surg

Fashola promised to give Nigerians light within two months

Fashola that was just appointed about 3 months ago is the one you said has been on seat for 8 months

Where is your proof that Fash sold power to neighbouring countries

Is Fashola responsible for the drop in power supply? Did he blow up the pipelines

You are such a _fucktard

Bro. I was told about that 11-20 by a cousin who wrote. What they did in their center was to refresh their page until the options came out. It happened to him but when his page was refreshed, the options later came out.

I noticed your focus on the TAN ambassador

Hmm

So surprised @ ur level of ignorance on this case. The video is still online in youtube. I dn't know of the mass grave issue, that one may be a later development. But the NA killed unarmed IPOB members that gathered inside a school premise and were praying n chanting. No insults meant.

Bro, I think you didn't understand my post well. I said I dont believe the mass grave issue, which you also alluded to that you dont know as per the bolded. So why accusing me of ignorance?

I am against the killing of unarmed protesters but bro, you cant deny also that IPOB page on FB engage in propaganda too or do you want us to debate that?

I dont believe this story of the NA killing IPOBS in Abia and then dugging mass graves to bury them. IPOBS on their FB page are full of propaganda

anonimi:
No budget yet they are moving in convoy, buying fuel, spending money etc, not so

Who are they "they"?

I was specific about Fashola.

daphid25:
Which work is he doing?
Do you have light in your area

Has his budget been passed?

Op, what you should also do instead of waiting for front page is to copy the link and tweet to @AkinwunmiAmbode, @followlasg and other Lagos govt related twitter handles. It works bro.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, says Nigeria needs emergency action to guarantee a rapid turnaround of the deplorable road network in the country.

Mr. Fashola stated this while speaking with journalists during the assessment of the deplorable condition of the 96-kilometre Ilorin-Jebba-Mokwa road on Tuesday evening.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister’s convoy had to use a bush path to traverse the persistent traffic gridlock which often left heavy trucks stranded for days.

NAN also reports that the journey from Jebba to Ilorin, which is less than 100 kilometres, lasted four hours while many of the vehicles suffered malfunction due to the logjam.

Mr. Fashola said that urgent action must be taken to rehabilitate the road which he described as one of Nigeria’s “critical, strategic economic roads.’’

“What the nation needs now is an emergency action, not declaration of emergency.

“We have declared too many emergencies. This is the time to take emergent and sensible action.

“The National Assembly should fast track the passage of the budget so that we can address the ugly situation of our roads.

“This is intolerable for the ordinary people because their businesses and sources of livelihood depend on this; so, this can’t continue, ‘’ he said.

Mr. Fashola also called for an amendment of the procurement law to increase the percentage of mobilisation for road contracts to enable contractors deliver completed projects without delay.

He argued for regular assessment of contracts to check wastages and abuse.

“First, we must change that part of the procurement law that limits mobilisation for road contracts to only 15 per cent. It doesn’t make sense.

“Contractors can’t fully mobilise because they need materials on site and anything less than 40 per cent is really a joke for a contractor to start with a vigorous impact.

“While we are focusing on budgets and all of that, it is important to see what have been left undone when we were making money at a hundred dollars per barrel of oil,’’ he added.

Mr. Fashola also pledged that the ministry would judiciously deploy human and material resources to creatively restore quality roads in all sections of the country.

NAN reports that the firm handling the rehabilitation of the road had told the minister that it was given 15 per cent of the contract sum of N12 billion as mobilisation fee.

The company also stated that it was still being owed for the two completed sections of the road. (NAN)

An indigenous company, Integrated Oil and Gas Ltd., has been given initial license to commence preliminary work for a 20,000 capacity modular refinery in one of the islands on the coast of Lagos.

The refinery is expected to gulp between $75 – $250 million, Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of the company, Capt. Emmaneul Ihenacho, said. Ihenacho, who stated this in Lagos yesterday, said that his company has gotten preliminary approval from the Department of Petroleum Resourses, DPR, and has commenced work on the Environmental Impact Assessment, EIA. He explained that the company is working on other necessary requirements needed before the final approval for the refinery can be granted. He described the process leading to the final licensing for the project as a “continuous” one which is given in stages, saying that he intends to get funding for the project from both foreign and local banks. According to him, “If you go to the DPR website you will see all the terms and conditions for granting of refinery licenses. The DPR gives you license in stages, it gives you license to establish, license to construct and after that it gives you license to operate. “DPR would not sit down and say let us go and do an EIA and after that they will give you license. They give you license based on the technology that is used for refining and your ability to give then very good presentation on that subject before they say alright go and start it.” He also noted if the refinery is constructed without the capacity to produce Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, Automated Gas Oil, AGO and the like, the cost would be around $75 million (N25.8 billion), whereas if those components are included, the cost would be around $200 million (N69 billion). Ihenacho also said that several meetings have been held between the company’s management and the traditional rulers (about 16 Baales) around the area, with a view to having the consent of the host communities.

Construction of the refinery

Contrary to insinuations that the construction of the refinery has started, he said, “We have not even started construction by the way; we are just going through the pre-application process. “I am ready to stand by the truth and what is right at all times. I am not the one to go and appropriate property to build a refinery. I am not going to put my hands in your pocket and force money out of it. I am not going to force you to tell me what you do not know about building refineries. Refineries are very important infrastructure in the country and it will enhance the image and prestige of the country. “If I think that I can articulate a business plan that I can take to the bank and they would then lend me money to build the refinery, while will I not do it? I do not want anybody to be deceived or fooled by fake or funny stories,” he said.

Lol BRF dressed like say cold dey catch am

abacrested:
Fashola was making sense but that road should not be abandoned for a year because of the collateral damage, tanx for the link anyway

I agree with you that it is bad to leave the road unattended to for a year but remeber he has to work with a limited fund. That is why he was considering tolling so that his ministry can be self sufficient and revenue from the tolling can be used by FERMA to maintain the roads.

You're welcome

abacrested:
criticism is one of the salient feature of democracy so you have to live with it meanwhile Fashola initiated two major projects that was included in this budget but decided to abandon an ongoing project after mobilising the contractors. This is the problem we've been having in this country for decades now,South East has the worst federal road in the country, wait till the rainy season comes and all this roads will become impassable and the pressure on Fashola will increase,common sence should tell him to complete this road than starting so many new projects in the SW and NE

Oh wow. Please before you mis-inform the public, kindly read this article http://www.tundefashola.com/archives/news/2016/02/09/20160209N01.html

Thank you ma.

Please did you read Fashola's medium term framework/ plans on how he'll cater for all abandoned road projects around the country or did you just out of boredom decide to criticise the Minister?

DesChyko:
You don't need to wonder. We're not robots, not programmed to feel the same way. Myself, I'm not taken by a 'flower project' worth #2 billion. I never assumed your reasons, but even now that I'm aware, I still believe it's an expensive project.

Please I'd like if you can provide a link to where it was stated that the Flower projects cost up to #2 billion naira. Thanks.

How is planting flowers an irrelevant project? Do you know it aids in reducing global warming, it is a source of employment, it discourages people from turning a spot to market place, reduce flooding and so on. I wonder how some of you think.

If you really live in Lagos, you'll realise some throw dirtson rail tracks, some sell their wares too and people also cross rail tracks. With iron barriers, it prevents people from endangering their lives and keep the whole place neat.

FT 1-0
