coolitempa: You......dunce.........govt only owns 14%...... ... Fashola is a sweet talking dunce since his performance is FAILURE certified!You doubt  Ask LASU students. idumuose: The new tuition fees range from N76,750 to N158,250.
The Lagos State University, LASU, Students Union, on Thursday directed its members not to pay the new tuition fees until a further reduction was made by the state government.
This was disclosed in a press statement, signed by the Union’s President, Nurudeen Yusuf.
It said that the tuition fee was high, in view of the economic situation of the state, when compared to the relative fees payable in other universities across the country.
The state governor, Babatunde Fashola, had on June 11, announced a 34 per cent to 60 per cent reduction on the LASU tuition fees. This was sequel to protests from the students and civil society groups.
The University’s Governing Council had on June 20 released a breakdown of the new tuition fees which ranged from N76, 750 to N158, 250.
It was against the increase in fees announced in 2011, from N25, 000 to N198, 000 for humanities and education, while medical students were required to pay N348, 000.
However, the students union insisted that the fees be reduced to N46, 500 for returning students and N65, 500 for fresh students, as proposed by them to the governor.
Meanwhile, the LASU management had on June 23 recalled students from recess, directing them to commence payment of the new tuition fees and their registration. This was in spite of the on-going lecturers’ strike that started on May 20.
The Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, LASU Chapter, had also been on strike since May 26.
The Students’ Union said its decision was taken at a meeting on June 30.
“Following the meeting, the union resolved that students should resume with immediate effect but strongly warns that no student should pay the fee, until further notice,” the statement said.
It, however, called for the reduction or withdrawal of some charges such as: acceptance fee, tuition, caution and field trip/teaching practice levy.
According to the statement, other charges the students requested for reduction include laboratory and practical/workshop/studio work.
The statement also rejected the July 6 deadline for payments and tasked the management to suspend payment of the fees until the union concludes negotiations with the government.
It also noted that students who paid cannot access the registration portal.
The statement added that the students complained that the management had yet to resolve some pending issues with the Quick Teller.
“SSANU is also on strike, hence there is no one to attend to issues relating to inability to register for our courses and problems with payment,” the statement noted.
It stated that the union remained unrelenting and consistent in its agitation against the hike, which it said, negated the founding ideology of the university. http://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/164357-again-lasu-students-reject-new-fees.html |

Osinbajo Unveils APC Power Generation Plan For Steady Power SupplyJANUARY 19, 2015 The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, said an APC-led Federal Government would provide steady power supply by installing Independent Power Projects in strategic parts of the country. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria added that his party would ensure that the privatisation of the power sector was given a larger scope if the APC was voted into power. Osinbajo, who is the running mate of Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), said this at a Ketu town hall meeting organised by Friends of Osinbajo in Lagos on Sunday after he delivered a sermon as a guest minister at the Abundant Life Model Assembly Parish, Ketu, Lagos of the Redeemer Christian Church of God. He said already IPPs were being used to provide steady electricity in courts and hospitals across Lagos State and this could be expanded. He said, “What we must understand is that the Federal Government has privatised power distribution and generation, not transmission and we feel transmission should be privatised as well. We don’t have power today because generating plants can’t get gas supply and this is also largely because of the bad pipes. “If we wait until we can set up proper gas infrastructure, it can take 10 to 15 years before we can get steady power supply.“So, we have decided to decentralise power. For example, in Lagos we have IPPs in Marina which generates 10 megawatts and it powers hospitals and courts. We also have in Ikeja. They do not have problems of gas supply. The IPPs are directly connected to the place we want it to power. “If we can mobilise our trade groups in certain areas, we can provide 24-hour power for them. Also, we can then provide for local governments. In Lagos for instance, the state government already knows the power needs of each local government so we can provide IPPs as well.” More from: http://www.osundefender.org/?p=206789www.nairaland.com/attachments/2578649_osiosi_jpg71aedfd93cf882908381aff91ded278a |

The less power supplied, the more fuel is being bought to power generators, which translates to more money for their bank accounts in the ongoing subsidy scam & generators bought... Do you know why the new "strong, incorruptible man of integrity" is still paying subsidy to the CABAL despite saying he does not know what subsidy is BEFORE elections www.nairaland.com/attachments/2589504_subsidy2_jpeg57ea79bc1f8758353f00f8db1d53dbf1Maybe it is because madam Wife-of-the-President said so.

http://lindaikeji..com/2014/10/photos-fayemi-wife-spent-n100m-on-their.html bestview: Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has inaugurated a nine-man committee, chaired by the legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN), to examine the possibility of establishing an airport in the state.
He said his administration is committed to the transport sector as a key area in the state’s development.
The governor said his administration has invested heavily in road construction and rehabilitation in the 16 local government areas to drive home its commitment to the development of the transport sector.
Dr. Fayemi said the proposed airport would bring Ekiti State into the limelight with its emerging economy and attract investors as well as tourists, who have flair for comfort.
He noted that though the establishment of an airport would require a lot of money, the state government, through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, would accomplish the task.
The governor said the airport has become necessary as the Federal Government is establishing an Export Conditioning Centre and a silo in the state while the Ikogosi Resort would also attract many visitors and tourists.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Olayinka Oyebode, listed the terms of reference of the committee as: examining the viability and feasibility of an airport in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, and proposing a practical implementation roadmap for same.
Fayemi was optimistic that when the Ikogosi Resort becomes functional, the proposed airport would market it. A South African hotel management group has agreed to manage the resort for the government.
Babalola described the inauguration as “historic in the history of Ekiti State”.
He noted that the project is dear to members of the committee.
The eminent lawyer tied the lack of industries in the state and the failure of the take-off of the Ikogosi Resort to the absence of an airport.
“There is an urgent need for meaningful industrial development in Ekiti by involving foreign developers from China, Europe, Japan, the Middle East and America. Any foreigner who comes to Ekiti with the intention of establishing an industry and who comes through Lagos by road to Ado-Ekiti or from Abuja by road, otherwise called the death traps, would never come back to Ekiti,” he said.
Other members of the committee are: Sir Remi Omotoso, Afolabi Esan, Segun Ologunleko, Femi Tolani, Kayode Jegede, Babajide Arowosafe, Jide Adeniji and Capt. Bolaji Agbelusi.

Mackson01: Everything is coming down. Cement now sell below #1500. Thank God I am alive to witness this new change. It so clear how clueless Gej was. Sai baba Why are you telling LIES like this, bro  etunoman76: Dangote Cement Plc has announced a 41 per cent reduction in the prices of cement, with the different grades of the essential commodity now selling for between N1,000 and N1,150, exclusive of Value Added Tax.
In the new price regime announced on Sunday by the Group Managing Director, Dangote Cement, Mr. Devakumar Edwin, a 50kg bag of the 32.5 cement grade will now sell for N1,000, while the higher 42.5 grade is to sell for N1,150 per bag instead of the current N1,700 that both grades were going for.
Edwin said in a statement that the move was in line with the company’s commitment to the nation, especially the need for the development of infrastructure and boost ongoing efforts to reduce the near 20 million housing deficit in Africa’s largest economy.
“We recognise the need for a dramatic increase in the response to the huge infrastructure and housing deficit in the country, and one of the ways of addressing the issue is bringing the price of building materials down to much more affordable levels, especially cement, which is within our own control as part of our contribution to the transformation agenda of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration and the attainment of key milestones in the Millennium Development Goals,” he was quoted as saying.
Since the commencement of the implementation of the backward integration policy for cement in the country over 12 years ago, the local production capacity of the product had risen from less than two million metric tonnes per annum to about 38 million metric tonnes per annum currently.
During the period, over $20bn has been directly and indirectly injected into the Nigerian cement industry with Dangote Cement Plc accounting for 60 per cent of that expenditure.
Edwin also said that Dangote Cement would continue to ensure the alignment of its corporate social responsibility with its strategic business initiatives, and would continue to evaluate its pricing regime in the country’s best interest.
According to the statement, stakeholders have commended the price reduction and say the cement market is entering the high demand phase as the dry season, which provides the opportunity for increased construction and building activities, is setting in.
In compliance with the directive of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria on the various grades of cement and their prescribed uses, Dangote Cement recently inaugurated its brand of the premium 32.5 grade, which has been restricted to plastering use only.
The largest cement producer in Nigeria noted that the move was to develop a full bouquet of cement types to meet the varying needs of consumers for the different purposes.
The company produces the 42.5 grade for column casting, block making, decking and other general purpose construction works that require high strength, while the 32.5 grade is for rendering or plastering.
The company also produces on demand the 52.5 grade for specialised construction of high strength structures such as bridges, flyovers and sky scrapers, among others.
Dangote Cement said in compliance with the SON standard for cement quality and packaging, the lower 32.5 grade would be clearly labelled in order to minimise the incidence of building collapse arising from the misapplication of the different grades of cement.
http://www.punchng.com/business/homes-property/dangote-reduces-cement-price-to-n1000/ hayoakins: Chairman of BUA Group, Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, has thrown his weight behind Dangote Cement Plc’s reduction in the cost of cement from about N1,700 to N1,000 a bag, representing a 40 per cent price cut, which was announced at the weekend.
According to Rabiu, he has always advocated a reduction in the cost of cement so that more Nigerians can have access to the product and realise their dream of owning houses of their own.
“It is against this background that I commend Alhaji Aliko Dangote for this patriotic initiative which is long overdue,” he said.
He further revealed that he had an extensive telephone conversation with Dangote on the issue and encouraged him on the initiative.
“What Alhaji Dangote has done today is significant. I am very pleased about it because it would make the cost of the product more easily affordable to Nigerians. With this price reduction, more consumers will be able to buy the product and subsequently drive up demand and in turn increase market share for industry players.
“I hereby urge all cement producers to emulate Dangote and bring down the cost of cement. There is absolutely no reason for a bag of cement to cost so much.
“Despite the infrastructure challenges being faced by the manufacturing sector of the Nigerian economy, it does not justify the high cost of cement.
“On our part, I have already directed all our plants to follow suit and implement the new price regime. We still believe that more can be done to bring down the price even further for the benefit of Nigerians,” Rabiu stated.
The BUA Group chairman stressed that there was really no reason for the price of cement to exceed N1,000 per bag, bearing in mind the massive success of the backward integration policy implemented 12 years ago, in which tens of billions of dollars were directly and indirectly injected into the Nigerian cement industry with Dangote Cement accounting for the larger share of the contribution.
This has seen cement national productivity rising from a mere 2.2 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) to over 30 million mtpa in the last 10 years, Rabiu observed.
BUA Group acquired Edo Cement Company Limited three years ago and has spent over $500 million in putting up an ultra-modern three million mtpa production line which is billed to be commissioned in the first quarter of next year.
Upon completion of this plant, the total annual production capacity will rise from 500,000 mtpa to 3.5 million mtpa.
In addition, the company also has controlling equity in Sokoto Cement Company also known as Cement Company of Northern Nigeria Plc (CCNN). The plant is presently being expanded with a 1.5 million mtpa line. Work is currently in progress and will be commissioned early 2016.

Shymm3x: Lol. I know you wouldn't be able to answer that like the Tinububots with tin foil hat on this forum. I expect a better reply from you as a celestial man (lol). A man without a legacy can't considered a great...to be on that list, your legacy must be well defined.
Let me use a mix of all kinds of folks we all consider great people to buttress my point:
- Che's Guevara's legacy was revolution and he's the poster child for revolutions everywhere.
- Malcolm X's legacy was using NOI as a vehicle to preach against injustice and racism.
- MLK's left his legacy on the pulpit by using Christianity as a vehicle to fight for equality and civil rights. And the civil right laws will always be attached to him.
- Nelson Mandela left a legacy of freedom.
- Steven Biko left a legacy of black consciousness and the art of solving black/African problems with black/African minds.
- Bob Marley is a great and he left a legacy of using music as a tool to heal the world and as a political tool. Ditto Tupac, Nas, and Fela Kuti.
- Dr. Jay's legacy was his dunks and basketball skills. Ditto the greatest, Michael Jordan, and other NBA greats.
- Lawrence Taylor's legacy was how he was unstoppable as a defensive player in the NFL. Ditto all other NFL greats who excelled at their various positions, albeit Deion Sanders added showtime/primetime to his legacy.
- Pele left a legacy of art of scoring goals...ditto Maradona albeit he added elusiveness to his.
ETC...
What would be Tinubu's legacy? Stealing like crazy while his ZOMBIE fellow citizens looked on like demented souls. That na legacy too, not so www.nairaland.com/attachments/2080663_olee_jpeg50ac2c9e26795655ae17af1287062b25 |
