eleko1: That man should be buried alive.i traveled last weekend to inspect farmland and got body pain in return. I understand; but he has only been in office for 2 years. He inherited those bad roads in the state. Years and years of continued neglect by previous Ogun governors have caused this. So much needs to be done that, the little he is doing barely touches the surface. It is quite saddening. |

triple996: When this country is ready for restructuring. Lagos should be divided into two separate states. Then kano,rivers, kaduna,delta and ibadon(possibly anambra) should be allowed to remain as states while all others should be merged in twos or even threes because they are just useless and a burden to the country. Lagos state can never be divided. Forget that thought. |

The rate of crimes in your region is too much. No wonder, IGBOS Dey relocate to the North in their thousands daily. They go to the North in search of greener pastures.

EmekaA125: So all these Ogun IGR that's bigger than the whole SouthEast doesn't exist in real life afterall??
Let me simply put it this way that most of NBS ewedu influenced statistics is usually a hoax, scam, non-existing, fabricated, ill-informed, false, fallacy and unfounded.
What afonjas cannot lie with doesn't exist  Ogun has high IGR compared to many states. What it lacks is good governance. This is why the roads (mostly outside the capital, Abk) are in a terrible shape. The previous governor, Amosun, did a lot to upgrade Abeokuta, but he neglected the rest of the huge state. This is the point people are making. Stop derailing the thread. |

rali123: 100% no doubt, it has nothing to do with Dapo alone, past government has been useless too. Exactly! The man can't fix all the roads in a span of 2 years. That's impossible. Dapo is actually working on some roads, but the sheer magnitude of bad roads in the state make it seem meaningless. Neglectful past administrations have put the roads in the state they’re in today. |

theenchanter: I don't think electricity sufficiency is beyond odua's mandate, I believe they can achieve it if they want, it's all about harnessing the gas and dams across the region, the transmission and distribution infrastructures are already there, maybe a little tweaking or upgrade will be needed.
The problem is NIGERIA and it's draconian laws, electricity is on the exclusive list, it's d sole property of the govt before it was unbundled, but the transmission is still under FG while generation and transmission are left to private sectors.
Again, the law permit states to generate electricity, but if it's over 30mw, the state will have to put it on the national grid, meaning the generated electricity by the state will be distributed across the country..... I don't think any logical state will want to jump into that, that's exactly the problem lagos state is facing.
If the law had allowed states to generate, transmit and distribute its own electricity across its own state and sell to other willing buyers, I believe odua can achieve electricity sufficiency across the region if they want, they will only need to buy some generating companies, expunge itself from the national grid at oshogbo and massively invest in distribution. In short, Lagos, Ondo and Osun states can be the power states since generating and transmission infrastructures are already there, Those three states can be the network to other western states....... But the Nigerian law doesn't permit that for now.
It may sound impossible, but with the right laws, the right plan and dedication, it's very possible...... It may only take time. The laws as currently written is definitely a hinderance; I totally agree with you on that. I understand how we all want to see this issue addressed, but I think you are really underestimating what it'll take to get this accomplished. The government itself needs to engage the services of a company such as Germany's Siemen Energy, the Unites States' GE Power etc. to help harness and upgrade the power/electricity sector. The SW states can collectively sign MOU/Contracts with these huge firms, upgrading the sector in phases as funds are available. The mundane laws need to be changed to effect this change. In my humble opinion, the odua group should be left to specialize in managing the assets of the defunct western region, investing in areas of growth and providing dividends to the constituent SW states. You can't ask an Accountant or Engineer to do a Medical Doctor's job. Part of the reason we're in the mess we're in is because we do not always use the right resource to carry out our goals/objectives. |

Classicool: Our state governments need to come together and work with Odua group so we can have sufficient electricity as a region for commercial, industrial and residential use. There is no law that go against states generating their own electricity which I believe can be achievable with several scientific and technoloical innovations most especially for residential use. Great post. Keep in mind though that Odua group was set up to manage the assets of the defunct western region, seek areas of growth to invest in and provide dividends to shareholders (the constituent SW states). It can provide community assistance via social responsibility (I believe it provides scholarships amongst others). Electricity sufficiency is way beyond odua’s mandate. The funding, technical know how of power generation, transmission and distribution is of great magnitude. It is way beyond odua group’s core competency and mandate. |
