Finally, this project with the capacity to revolutionalize the power industry is about to take off. Fashola and Buhari have both shown serious commitment to the actualisation of this project and I really hope they can deliver it within the shortest time possible.

10 months after Nigerian govt’s launch of Ogoni clean-up, ‘not a drop of oil cleaned’ – Group
April 5, 2017


https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2016/06/PIC.-8.-LAUNCH-OF-THE-CLEAN-UP-OF-OGONILAND-AT-BODO-TOWN-IN-RIVERS.jpg?w=800


Ten months after the Nigerian government launched the clean-up of Ogoniland, actual work is yet to commence in the community, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria, ERA/FoEN, has said.

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in June 2016 flagged off the oil spillage clean-up exercise amidst an elaborate ceremony in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Godwin Ojo, Executive Director of ERA/FoEN, said almost six years after the UNEP report, “not a drop of oil” had been cleaned in Ogoniland.
“As we speak, there has been no serious effort to manage the expectations of the Ogonis. While some believe that the clean-up process is a money-making venture, others are facing difficulties to pursue the clean-up process,” Mr. Ojo said at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday.
“Authorities responsible for the clean-up should come up publicly, provide a template for the clean-up and a step by step blueprint on how it would progress. The media is even kept in the dark, for example, no one knows the effective date of the clean-up process, and this is not good enough to manage the people’s expectations. Not everyone is being carried along at the moment.”

A United Nations Environment Programme scientific study released in 2011 exposed the large-scale, continued contamination of the water and soil in Ogoniland, and the serious threat they pose to human health.
In one case, UNEP found that a community drinking well was polluted with benzene, a cancer-causing substance, at levels 900 times above the World Health Organization guideline.

The report presented to former president, Goodluck Jonathan, on August 4, 2011, was, however, not implemented throughout the life of Mr. Jonathan’s administration.

Barely three months after he assumed office in 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari approved several actions to fast-track the long delayed implementation of the UNEP report. Some of the actions included the amendment of the official gazette establishing the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project (HYPREP) and the approval of the composition of a Board of Trustees for the HYPREP Trust Fund.
The president also approved a $10 million initial take-off grant for the implementation of the report.
In February, Mr. Osinbajo said the federal government had secured over $1 billion dollar from Shell Petroleum Development Company for the clean-up, adding that a governing council and board of trustees had been inaugurated on August 4, 2016 and January 12 this year, respectively.

“A funding of one billion dollars at 200 million dollars per annum over five years has been provided by Shell to provide drinking water, conduct health impact assessment and demonstrate remediation technologies,” Mr. Osinbajo, a professor of Law, had said.

And I insist people do get such jobs with just Bsc.

Knowledge Base differs.
Many people have no idea what they are studying, why they are actually studying it and what they intend to do with it when done.
The few that do, prepare for life post-graduation.

A number of first degree holders earn more than that even in our obodo Naija.

ivandragon:
I am done responding to you chaps on this matter.

I asked two pertinent questions, none of you have been able to answer them, so I leave you all to suit yourselves.

there are things going on in this administration that a lot of you close eyes to...

but, hey, its your choice, but when another administration spends $45b without passing through due process, I hope you would also defend it...

Please tell me this is not true.

Why is no one asking why we are in recession despite budgets as follows:

2015 - N4.5 trillion
2015 - N2.1 trillion supplementary requested / N575 billion approved
2016 - N6.06 trillion
2017 - N7.3 trillion

Throwback:
You remind me of a dude who I schooled with and served NYSC with.

While discussing our career plans as engineers and what potential jobs were available for fresh graduates like us, I told him assertively that I couldn't settle for a job pay less than N500k/month. He looked at me with such disgust, wondering why a fresh graduate should feel so entitled to such pay he found outrageous. He contended that N100k/month was good enough.

Less than a year after service, he got his own N100k/month job while I got myself a N1m/month type of job. I still wasn't contented and aspired for something better, while my pal is still today aspiring towards a pay windfall of N500k/month.

This same category of people wonder why I would spend N45K on a Lacoste polo shirt or N60k on a Tommy Hilfiger jeans. When you can buy same at Balogun market in Isale Eko for less than N5k each.

The above true story is the mentality in display when people wonder why one website is N2m and another is N500m or more. Lack of exposure!

ehie:
They learnt from the best they learnt from Fashola, lol by the time these Yoruba's and Hausa finish looting the country, thievery is an art in Buhari and Osinbajos government,

ivandragon:
keep quite & stop being an ignoramus...

have you visited the website to see if it justifies that amount?

have you forgotten that there was an uproar when this amount was said to have been budgeted for website in 2016? so why won't it boldly come out to say so when it had been padded ab initio... same way the $25b NNPC will be defended by the likes of you when they tell Nigerians that they have executed $25b in thin air...

you just keep jumping up & down to defend rubbish simply because it is your preferred thieves doing the looting...

hooklover:
I still blame good luck for punishing Nigerians by giving us Bulgari as punishment.
There were so many reasons for buhari to be behind bars or to be kept with a lintany of court cases till after election.

[b]From killing of corners in 2011 elections to forged certificat[/b]e he had so maybe cases to answer till election was over and give a ruling to bar him from political office.

Buhari is curse to Nigerians

Every single one of those country has unique geographical, demographical,historical or cultural selling point.
Switzerland and Luxembourg are simply extentions of Germany,France. They enjoy and share in the goodwill of their parent countries in much the same way the Anglo countries US,Canada,Australia,United Kingdom and new Zealand share their success and economic bounty.
Those countries can be regarded as manaco with presidents.
Botswana is blessed with ridiculous numbers and variety of wildlife. That is before you consider her proximity to south Africa which she has been able to leverage as a laid back sanctuary for people who want to escape the bustle of south Africa
Ethiopia is a centre of civilisation.

Yet you expect mind boggling results overnight from this current administration. How very illuminating.

The world has changed and so has our ways been modified to meet up with reality. You may be traditionally right but constitutionally wrong. The Imo council of traditional rulers is recognized by Imo State constitution.

lets be honest...who else can we at least trust a bit....??.....after jonathan nigeria is in danger.....its better we stick to people that made nigeria to start with...how many of of us were born in 1960....?....i was born much later...i dont know why they forced all of us toghether....

now what...??....

TheKingdom:
Is that what you call a democracy, living in fear?

You see why the Eastern Governors couldn't take Nnamdi Kanu's movement, because they had nothing to offer but madness, while IPOB had lots to offer the common man hoping to live like a human being.

Imagine, all the Eastern governors have over the last few weeks lost their mind...
