@ ujoinme you are correct Akpabio needs to hasten up with the deep seaport. At this point i know he will not be able to complete the seaport but he should do the ground breaking/awarding of contract so construction can begin.and the governor who succeeds him should do everything to complete the project just like Akpabio/Attah did for the airport.

If the pictures of developments in the state pains you why not just stay away from the thread or better still take pictures of what you adjudged to be the true situation of the state and post it here, or on you own thread.

As a supporter of Gov. Akpabio and one that likes the good thing he is doing in the state. i would like to say that on this issue the governor seems to have dropped the ball.

This project shoild be given #1 priority as he did 2yrs ago, but his enthusiasm seems to be weaning on the project. I know it will be impossible for him to complete a project of that magnitude in just 18months left for his administration. but he should at least begin the construction on that site before he leaves office and also designate that seaport as a priority project for the state such that whoever succeeds him as governor will complete it as a priority project for the state.

Just like akpabio completed the airport that was started by Gov. Attah's Administration.

emmydeep: Dont come here to display your st/upitidy, hate, and biterness for Godswill Akpabio.
You think your silly write-up here can discredit his high rated performance in Akwaibom?
You stink man.
Bitternes and hate will destroy you o. Was it this your useless post that made him want to build it? Learn to appreciate people for the good they have done.
Akpabios performance is beyond any other governor.
Iadvice you to change your post content and plead with the Governor to remember his promise.
really? are you for real little wonder you cant even type nor spell correctly, heard mentality. learn how to reason for yourself unam.

If indeed he has abandoned this project which an not certain, It will be a real shame because of all the project that he has done, this in my mind is the most strategic.

but the article the op quoted is compelling and very recent.

Politics › Re: FG Plans Destruction Of Rivers State Agricultural Project. by Atouke: 4:02pm On Oct 14, 2013
Amaechi has is faults just like any other human, but investment in education ,health and agriculture is good for the state and should not be criticized for those? The banana plantation is not hindering any UN clean up effort! if that were to be the case then every other agricultural practice going on in ogoni land is also in the way of the clean up, as ogoni ppl are still planting,harvesting and eating cassava from their polluted soils.

My concern for the banana plantation is that it should be regulated and monitored by NDLEA so that it is not used by the Mexican investors as a front to smuggle narcotics/drugs which that country is known for in and out of rives state/Nigeria.

Disagreeing with amaechi political leaning like i do does not make the gov. evil,and we should not blindly condemn everything he does. I have always maintained and most objective Nigerians agree in terms of education and healthcare development in nigeria today Amaechi is the star in this regards, but this giant strides were achieved mostly in his first term. Gov Amaechi has gone to sleep in his second term, because he has chosen to pick up a fight with all his regional political allies instead of fighting for the development of rivers state like he did in his first term.

Amaechi should mend fences with his regional political allies rather than continue in this fight that will lead him nowhere and use the last few yrs of his tenures to complete all the pending projects in rivers state so his name will be rightly etched in the political sand of time of rivers state.
But here is where choice/freewill come in, time will tell if ameachi is making the right choice politically. but if this fight continues the losers will be the good people of rivers state for we all know that the gov. is distracted form developing the state presently.

If he had sustained the tempo of the first 4 yrs for 8 yrs rivers state would be a heaven in Nigeria.

If you had anything other than a quasi knowledge of engineering you would have answered the simple question ie Whats the merit/demerits of concrete/cement roads besides the obvious that us laymen have already gleaned.

But rather you resort to name calling and insult. that my friend is a classic display ignorance! ignorant ppl get mad and call their opponent names rather than discuss the issue, the reason is simply -- they have nothing to contribute to the debate. bye

Bobby4090: Shame on us. Is this another ploy by the Government to enrich Dangote once again. Or has he bribed the policy makers to sell this idea? Nigeria has about the highest World concentration of bitumen and Asphalt in Ondo state. Why are they not devoting time and effort to tap into it. And after making cement in Nigeria about the most expensive in the World they now want to use it for road construction, leaving behind the God given blessings we have in Ondo state.

In the day of masses revolution, its people like Dangote and those policy makers in his payroll will that people will go for first. Mark my word.
Dont we also have lime stone a major ingredient in cement in Abundance in Nigeria? both raw materials are in abundance in naija will welcome the use of any.

Am just glad that we now have a local industry that can drive such development in Nigeria today. Just 6 yrs ago the story would have been different as at then we would have been contemplating importing the cement. but toady the dynamics have changed we are all accusing Dangote of monopoly!lol , This to me is a positive development in Nigeria. I want more dangotes in Nigeria.

while criticizing dangote lets also bear in mind that the profit he makes in cement manufacturing also goes to pay the salary of folks that work in his cement factory, drivers that drive his truck, dangotes distributors in our LGA that pay taxes to our LGA, and not forgetting the Tax that is paid to FG and the states where his factories are located.

alpontif: This is what happens when non experts start to pontificate about issues that only qualified professionals can educate people on. In civil engineering terms, there is nothing like a ''Cement road", you basically have a rigid pavement(Concrete), or a flexible pavement(flexible), or a Composite pavement. There is a lot that goes into highway design and construction that is outside the realm of laymen, and the Surfacing you decide to use is a distant last. You decide to use any of the three based on the design conditions like lifespan, site conditions, economy, durability, etc. And the fact that you see 40% of the roads in the UK and us as rigid pavements do not mean the design conditions are the same. People should avoid discussing technical issues that they do not have the requisite expertise on. You don't start discussing the merits and demerits of sarbanes-oxley if you are not in the investment banking Industry, if you do, it makes you look stupid.
so why dont you educate the forum on the merit/demerits of concrete vs asphalt if you do have the requisite expertise? or are u another pretender

Goddex: It's good we experiment it on a few roads and watch it over a period of 7yrs first. But it will cause shortage of cement for building.
really 7yrs before we start applying the method? lol

fluid26: It might sound like a good move, but I feel it's a dubious attempt to mop up the cement glut in the market without having to reduce the controversial price.
going by your logic, it will mean that 40%of roads built in The US and germany with concrete/ cement was done to clear the glut of cement in their market?

could it not be because concrete roads are more durable and require less maintenance a fact that might be better for nigeria as we are lacking in maintenance culture.

Politics › Nigeria Begins Use Of Cement For Road Construction Against Asphalt. by Atouke(op): 6:30am On Oct 11, 2013
For the first time, the need for cement based option for road construction in Nigeria instead asphalt for sur-facing received a major boost at the week-end, with experts both local and interna-tionals listing some of the advantages of cement over other material. The conference, entitled, “Exploring Cement Based Option for Sustainable Road Construction in Nigeria”, which was organised by Business Day in collab-oration with the Cement Manufacturers’ Association of Nigeria (CMAN), drew the attention of government to the universal acceptance of cement concrete road as the best option all over the world. Stakeholders from road and transpor-tation sector comprising policy makers, construction experts, politicians and ce-ment manufacturers attended the confer-ence.

In canvassing for cement based option for road construction, it was noted that 40 per cent of roads in developed countries like United States of America and West Germany are made of cement concrete, whereas 2 per cent of roads in emerging economies like India and less than 0.1 per cent in Nigeria are built with cement concrete.

Justifying reasons for the need for concrete cement as alternative material to asphalt overlay for road construction, Chairman of CMAN, Mr. Joseph Makoju, said road built with cement is between 25 per cent and 50 per cent cheaper than that constructed with asphalt.

Besides, he explained that though ce-ment concrete road is 10 per cent more ex-pensive to construct than asphalt but that the lifespan of a road built with former is longer than that of the latter.In term of maintenance, he said ce-ment concrete road becomes cheaper than asphalt as less maintenance is re-quired.

He said, “ The major cause for the collapse of our road network earlier mentioned was identified as our poor maintenance culture. In search for a cost effective solution, it was natural there-fore to search for an alternative surfacing material which when compared with as-phalt will require minimal maintenance hence our interest in cement concrete roads for Nigeria.” Managing Director/ Chief Execu-tive Officer, Lafarge WAPCO Cement, Mr. Joe Hudson, in his presentation on “The Nigerian Cement Industry”, noted that Nigerian economy has potential for growth.

And as such, he said demand for cement would continue to increase due to investment in energy supply, road, water, housing and other infrastructure projects.

According to him, Nigeria cement ca-pacity will triple in 10 years from 2010 to 2020 and that the nation will be the sec-ond highest producer of cement in Africa after Egypt, adding that by 2015, Nigeria will be an exporter to the West African re-gion, saying it has capital investment of over N1.8 trillion

He listed major challenges of cement industry to include poor energy supply, roads and rail to carry cement to the mar-ket, and inadequate skills in the sector, urging government on the need to find solutions to them.
