raker300:
shup up there!!! There is no mention of dirt in the article. Go to WHO website and see it for yourself. The problem is with ships emitting bad carbon from poorly refined fuel...also heavy construction due to increase in population.

The only mention of waste is the "waste management system not up to international standard"

If you want keep lying to yourself that the east is a bad place. We and the rest of the world know the truth

AnamCity:
Raker300 and all concerned..stop giving the jobless troll attention as we all know the basis of the assessment and even the WHO confirmed that the result from Onitsha is not reliable in the same report, so why do you worry about anything? Leave the thread for him to continue breaking his head.

raker300:
gas pollutions man, the report is based on emerging economies and problem of gas pollutions from heavy construction, unrefined carbon, etc

Look at what Yorubas turned the former once beautiful Nigerian capital into. Poor Yoruba management is killing Lagos, yet Lagos is supposed to be the best city in SW, if it's ranked third worst city to live in the world, what's the fate of Oshogbo and Ibadan?

In the far-flung areas of Alau in Konduga Local Government Area which TheBrief visited, an intimidating agricultural masterpiece basks in the blazing sun fully functional, with 4 massive Centre Pivot Irrigation systems of two 60 hectares and another two 35 hectares of farmlands.

The 1st stage of the Agricultural rejuvenation of Borno, has already produced a bountiful harvest of Irish potatoes, with its first ever cultivation on the N/Eastern state’s soil. Producing about 140 50Kg bags in total, the system has proven to be a success, even at this test stage.

With N20bn spent so far on equipment and on other aspects of the scheme, the state’s efforts have remained unknown to the world, besides the handful of persons directly involved.

Dili remarked that for fear of sabotage, from the previous administration, the state opted to keep its exploits secret, but is now ready to open it to the world, to attract patronage.

According to the state government, as IDPs return to their homes, a small plantation of mango trees, poultry, mobile ponds and oil mills will be donated to 100-200 women from the beginning.

The proceeds from their farms will be bought by the government, to be used in the school feeding programme.

With the next stage of the all year farming scheme set to commence next month, Borno is becoming an agricultural force to be reckoned with again.

IDPs from nearby camps in Maiduguri, have already been trained and employed to work on the farms, with a couple of seasoned farmers among them owning farms in the area where the equipment are currently being used, allowing them to benefit directly from the scheme.

Women and children have been employed to plant cashew trees, and are paid per output. (The going rate is, N300 for every 25 seedlings tended to).

Although Boko Haram still remains a thorn in the flesh that orchestrates attacks, Borno’s prospects are bright.

Its plans of returning all those affected by the scourge of insurgency back to their homes and equipped with a viable means of livelihood is quite the site. A step in the right direction, The Home of Peace is ready to embrace and live up to its slogan

Me I can't believe this report. Lai lai. I was at Onitcha 2 years ago and the city isn't bad at all. It was even surprisingly neat and organized. Maybe they are talking of Onitcha os yesteryears o but not this present Onitcha.

Deatheater:
The European Union (EU) Senior Expert on Sanitation, Tope Babalobi, says that 1.7 million people in Ekiti State practice open defecation. The Nation reports that Babalola said this during a breakfast programme on the Ekiti Television (EKTV), Daybreak Nigeria yesterday January 26th.
Babalobi, who is also the National Chairman of Water and Sanitation Network, urged the residents of the state to maintain a clean environment to avoid falling victim of Lassa fever..
“Rodents and rats have no business coming to your house if it is clean. Eateries, restaurants, schools, shops, markets must prioritise sanitation. If you manage your waste very well, these diseases will be far. This is a challenge to us as individuals in our homes and business premises,” he said

Onitsha, a city in Anambra state, is the most polluted in the world, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

In a report on Global Urban Ambient Air Pollution, the organisation said Onitsha has about 30 times more than the recommended small and fine particulate matter (PM).

Kaduna was listed 5th, while Aba and Umuahia – both in Abia state – came 6th and 16th respectively, leaving with Nigeria the highest number among the 20 most polluted cities in the world.

WHO says in the past two years, it has monitored 3000 cities in 103 countries and has found that globally, air pollution, has risen by eight per cent in the last five years.

WHO measured the level of pollution by the amount of “small and fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) during the five-year period of 2008-2013.

“PM10 and PM2.5 include pollutants such as sulfate, nitrates and black carbon, which penetrate deep into the lungs and into the cardiovascular system,” the report read.

The rise in air pollution has caused a rise in “the risk of stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma, increases for the people who live in them”.

WHO says people in low income countries are the worst hit by air pollution.

“More than 80% of people living in urban areas that monitor air pollution are exposed to air quality levels that exceed WHO limits,” the organisation said.

“While all regions of the world are affected, populations in low-income cities are the most impacted. According to the latest urban air quality database, 98% of cities in low- and middle income countries with more than 100 000 inhabitants do not meet WHO air quality guidelines. However, in high-income countries, that percentage decreases to 56%.

Collaboration between Nigeria and Germany is underway for the construction of off-grid solar power plants for the University of Ibadan and the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.The groundbreaking ceremony for the solar power plants is to take place before the end of next month in Ibadan, Oyo State.


While playing host to German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Michael Zenner, Education Minister, Malam Adamu Adamu, hinted that the University of Ibadan and Ahmadu Bello University solar power plants would serve as pilot projects. If successful, the project would be replicated in all other federal universities in the country.

Represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, Adamu promised to render all necessary assistance to ensure the success of the projects.

Zenner, who was accompanied on the visit by the Vice Chancellor, University of Ibadan, Professor Idowu Olayinka, told the minister that the projects would not only provide electricity to the university community, but will also facilitate the training of young engineers on renewable energy technology.

Zenner pointed out that “the project is very important because the university will become independent from other power sources, the money saved can be used for research, etc.”He remarked that there has been an energy partnership between Germany and Nigeria since 2008

mikolo80:
first of all that's not how to talk in public.
how many gigawatts did it run.
how much did it cost relative to thermal. 10 times from my research.
it's easy to point fingers and make suggestions.
Abi you think say dem go give you the whole budget plus recurrent just to put up a 1 GW solar or wind farm. analyse every before you talk in publc. not everyone here is writing waec or from celebrity section

fiizznation:
You see my friend wind and solar are very expensive to maintain. Besides, erecting windmills that will generate the amount of power/megawatts Nigerians need will likely run into billions of dollars. Aside from the pollution and environmental degradation cause by fossil fuels/fossil power plants, it still remains our best option for power generation for the meantime. Why? Well fossil power plants have the capacity to generate huge amount of electricity in just one single place, but the average windmill or your solar can't do this. I don't think we should also ignore the efficiency of fossil power plants and its cost effectiveness.

I don't even think any power minister in Nigeria will ever ignore fossil power plants and venture into renewable energy when we have gas in abundance

Ugosample:
Are you for real?
Done more projects than FG since independence; D
And did more than the other 35 state governors put together; D

Your ignorant post has exposed one thing about you. You have not left your enclave. lol

mikolo80:
very stoopid nonsense. we have over 600 trillion in gas reserves and dip mumu say we should ignore it and chase very insanely expensive and unproven alternative energy. solar cannot run industry..... yet

D2diff:
Can you shut it please?

angels09:
The actualizer seems this man is more responsible than the noisy fashola

uduokirika1:
Who budgetry allocation epp

We are satisfied with the result at hand!

Opon imo with all its budgetry allocation has not faired better. The end really justifies the means

Oga this is a policy started the same time Osun state govt adopted Opon Imo

Today the difference is clear acadmically btw the two states!

And u are aware of this simple truth

uduokirika1:
Atleast the policy. Is working for us continue with ur exotic and fantastically innovative Opon Imo

MadCow1:
I am so Jealous and green with envy about the foresight and drive of the South-West.


Whilst the East are busy pushing in their own way, the North are battling insurgency but yet still trying to consolidate where they can, the South-South are busy blowing up pipelines, waiting for claims money, polluting their own land and waters, taking away their alternative source of livelihood.


Its just a pity..

Ogun State is developing so fast that all it needs to compete better with Lagos is a Sea Port.

uduokirika1:
the money has already been budgeted for in d budget!

The essence of given out the money to mission for accountability. We all know d bottle neck involved in carrying out infrastructural refurbishment!

The resultant effect is glaring 'cos Anambra has taken the centre stage in academic execellence since this policy was introduced!

amiskurie:
Hating animals could have said a certain governor,or president is islamising Nigeria if such money is given to a school like ansar-deen schools.

You will always wail against Yoruba and Hausas blindly just because of the hatred in u.

I see no wrong in what this governor did and cant wail.just letting u knw it's not all abt wailing.You're the one dragging Nigeria back with ur hatred.

uduokirika1:
the best policy
