We’ve paid some Fulani to stop killings in Southern Kaduna – El-Rufai
DECEMBER 3, 2016

Kaduna State Governor Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has said his government has traced some violent, aggrieved Fulani to their countries and paid them to stop the killings of Southern Kaduna natives and the destruction of their communities saying that the renewed violence is carried out by bandits. El-Rufai made this known while fielding questions from some select Journalists in his office in Kaduna.

He said: “For southern Kaduna, we didn’t understand what was going on and we decided to set up a committee under Gen. Martin Luther Agwai (rtd) to find out what was going on there. What was established was that the root of the problem has a history starting from the 2011 post election violence. “Fulani herdsmen from across Africa bring their cattle down towards Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria.

The moment the rains starts around March, April, they start moving them up to go back to their various communities and countries. “Unfortunately, it was when they were moving up with their cattle across Southern Kaduna that the elections of 2011 took place and the crisis trapped some of them. “Some of them were from Niger, Cameroon, Chad, Mali and Senegal. Fulanis are in 14 African countries and they traverse this country with the cattle.

You sound as though you were born, bred and constructed the Ajaokuta Steel complex, what the individual you quoted stated is the truth, I'm a Kogite and left Kogi last 3 weeks, and I sure know the terrain very well. In doubt confirm from those who reside there, Igalas and Ebiras alike. So you are informed there is not only a shadow of itself, as vandals are stealing government properties from the complex. If you don't find it amusing that a project 90% complete 'May' likely function in 2 years time, and you expect people to Swallow it hook, line and sinker. Be realistic man/woman!

Gloriouspa:
See how people changes with time. At 7 years interval, he has forgotten what he agitated for. Majority of those who find themselves in the position of leadership in Nigeria are mere opportunist. None have interest of this country or serve the people with their inner heart. What they are seeing or presently eating determines what they voice out at any point in time.

YoungAncient1:
Oga Rufai, the solar powerd street lights you installed have long died out. Are you actually telling us you will install cctv in those villages without motorable roads? From where and who will be in charge of the monitoring? How quickly will response team arrive? Are the herdsmen doing the killing afraid of being seen?

El-Rufai - It's Time to Restructure Nation
10 AUGUST 2010

For Nigeria to move to the next level, the issue of true federalism must be addressed, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He shares his thoughts with Imam Imam.

Apprehension about the composition and workability of the Nigerian nation-state will subside if the country tilts towards true federalism, according to former FCT Minister, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. He said the present situation of things where all the component units get monthly allocations from the Federal Government only makes the states lazy and unproductive, adding that lack of foresight, financial discipline and lackadaisical approach to governance has played huge roles in limiting the country's march to greatness.

Many Of Those Calling For Restructuring Are Opportunists, Irresponsible – El-Rufai

The Kaduna State Governor, El-Rufai has described recent calls for the restructuring of Nigeria as political opportunism and irresponsibility.

El-Rufai, while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily said President Buhari’s administration has done far more in practical terms than past administrations and that many of those calling for a restructuring rather see it as a means of opportunism.

He stated that some of the practical steps taken towards restructuring included the fact that state governors are now more than ever, involved in economic policy making at the national level.

According to him, things that have always been hidden from state governments are now much more open as they are now more involved in investigations of finances of the excess crude account, among other things.

“We meet every month under the auspice of the National Economic Council and working together with the Federal Government we chart directions of economic policy and that is part of shifting the federal- state balance.

“A lot of the talk about political restructuring is political opportunism and irresponsibility in my opinion

“It is popular and people that have presidential aspirations think there is a platform upon which they will exploit this. As I said, if you look at the APC manifesto, all the elements to divulge power to the state to change the balance in the federation are there and we are committed to that as a party.

“The National Chairman of our party will restate that commitment and we are discussing it and as I said President Buhari and Osinbajo’s government has taken very concrete steps rather than rhetoric to actually move in that direction and we are going to move in that direction but we do not believe that the basis for it is rhetoric and opportunism, we do not believe that the 2014 CONFAB report is a sensible basis to even begin.

“We all know the circumstances in which the so-called CONFAB was put together, we all know the composition, how lopsided it was, how important stakeholders were not taken to account, how even the composition and numbers do not reflect the demographics and the diversity of this country and we took a position as a party not to participate but to encourage our state governors to be there at the table.”

Na today?
As far back as 1993, prof in UI told us ajaokuta can never work as the cost of steel produced there will never be competitive in price. Imports will always be cheaper.

Nwaelohim:
Your problem is comprehension. When the facility was built it was 99% completion the only unit remaining for commissioning was the blast furnace , after many years of abandonment Buhari government start renovation of the plant, this 90% remaining is the renovation phase. Or rather revamping phase. Take a trip to ajokuta still is in NIGERIA you don't need Visa.

Omooba77:
Some of the buhari apologists came here in 2015 and started saying it was 99% completed. Now 9% have been removed.... Nigeria is a nation full of insincerity and lots of 'kids' here dont know their future is being mortgaged...

INTELS Nigeria Limited, has acquired one of the largest port handling cranes in the world – a 600 tonnes Liebherr crane worth $6 million (N1.83 billion).

The crane, which has been deployed at the Onne Oil and Gas Free Zone, is the largest at any port facility in Africa.

This means that the movement of very heavy equipment has become even much easier than ever before at the Onne Free Zone.

Don't go by what you see in the pictures, the not only have more than enough cranes, they even have the largest in Africa.

Even though I don't agree with them, I see your points.
People still don't understand the nature of the Chinese.
Most Nigerians would probably vote that China should come and colonize them if only they can have three square meals a day.
Remember what happened recently in the east? I forget the state. Where Chinese were lording it over the Nigerians working for them.
That's pre-intimacy. And they haven't even gotten to Nigeria yet o.
Do you know that the Chinese are in various locations in Nigeria ILLEGALLY mining our resources?
Just imagine what's going to happen when Nigeria defaults payment on those loans. And if there's one thing you can be sure of, it is that Nigeria WILL default on those loans.

yanabasee1:
We've overtime many countries producing oil in Africa as at today.
Oil is fast losing its value. And technology is taking over the space.
Nigeria producing oil doesn't mean that they will be able to pay off the debt with the conditions of the loan.
Chinese are smart...They are going to take over Africa in no time. The moment they get hold of Nigeria, the rest of the African countries will be exploited.
I hope you'll say this when the Chinese government seize our assets and take control of the government.

And he did
He reduced oil prices
He allowed Sanusi to crash his brother's bank
He improved foreign reserves before falling sick

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

Abujaexpress:
Obaseki has started promises he will stubbornly and wickedly not fulfill, as same way he, along Oshiomole promised Edo people heaven on earth in 2016. I think he will do Edo people a lot of good if he can show the people what he did for them out of his previous promises.

levi2:
*Take a look at another Obaseki wonder! - Edo Refinery*

This Is The Edo 1000 barrel per day modular oil refinery At Ologbo 80% Completed. Another MoU Result.

Gov Obaseki Is Busy Flooding The State With MoU Projects, Attracting Both National And International Presence. Na Why Oshiomhole Dey Jealous.

Oshiomhole Is Busy Insulting The Man, The Man Is Busy Working For Edo People.

Obaseki Pepper Dem!!

Chijzy:
My problem with Hypocrites, is that where see White they will find all means to paint it black, so they have a cause to run their mouth..

This is for those people who have deliberately chosen to deny the fact that Obaseki has massively attracted Investments and Developments to Edo state.

This is the same Ossiomo power plant, the MOU project which the opposition said was never in existence.

You need to know that Obaseki is operating a 100% people centric Government.

No be everybody dey make noise about their accomplishments.

Let that sink in..
