Home to many corporate headquaters[b] but it still gets flooded when it rains.[/b] Goodluck jonathan has never driven to otuoke, he flies in a chopper from port harcourt airport. What is the state of his community road? What is seriake dickson doing with his billions of naira budget? Why does'nt yenegoa have a single flyover? Bayelsa is one of the smallest states in nigeria. What are they doing with their 300 billion naira budget when other states double it's size get only a fraction of that. You guys are stupid partisan attack dogs and critics. If you want to attack inefficiency or underperformance, call out the whole pack and stop cherry picking those who oppose king jonathan.
We are not talking about floods here..the case of Trans Amadi is that of a road in a terrible state of disrepair..

Your mentioning of Bayelsa is at best diversionary we are focusing on someone who talks as if he has done all needs to do..let's even consider your argument of Dickson..has Dickson spent the same number of years as amaechi?..so what's the basis of comparison?

Tell amaechi to stop acting like a saint because when you point a finger at someone the remaining four points back at you

Contacting the parties involved does not in anyway stop you from publishing your investigative findings. It only makes the report look professional and complete. Only bitter, old and hateful fools take one-sided investigative report seriously. I hope SR is learning from Premium Times.

Oga I carefully read through before commenting..from the write up and the documents going with it all I can see is the NCAA embarking on a wasteful venture..the accusation that the Minister forced NCAA to purchase those cars is an invention of Sahara reporters...

If you can show me where in the document or write-up that authoritatively shows that the minister forced them to make those purchases..I will retract my statements

And lastly NCAA is an autonomous body which does not report directly to the minister

PoliticsJonathan Vows To Implement Outcome Of National Conference by awodman(op): 5:33pm On Oct 15, 2013
The president said the National Assembly will be asked to
act on the recommendations of the conference

President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed to act on the
outcome of the planned national conference, by forwarding the recommendations to the National Assembly for legislative action.

Mr Jonathan said Tuesday the outcome of the talks will be
useful for the ongoing constitution amendment.

Mr Jonathan stated this in Abuja on Tuesday when he
received members of the Muslim community who paid him Sallah homage at the presidential villa.

The remarks were his second in two days as he sought to
dispel fears expressed by critics that his government lacks the sincerity and the capacity to implement the outcome of the conference.

The president urged politicians to stop utterances that
incite and instigate hate, saying the dialogue process must lead Nigerians to talk with a direction and not dissension.

“In Nigeria, we must work very hard; we must talk to
ourselves the way that our children will not develop hate
amongst themselves. And that is one of the key reasons
that we decided to have a conversation as a nation,” the
president said.

“At times, when you listen to radio and read the papers,
you see even our elders that are supposed to give us
leadership quarrelling over nothing.

“(And) sometimes, even insulting themselves and even
making provocative statements that will sometimes
instigate one group against the other.

“We decided that we cannot continue that way; the talking must have a direction. What has been happening on the pages of the newspapers are discussions that have no direction.

“We want a country that will have a direction, so the
discussions must have a direction.

“The discussions must lead Nigeria to where we want to
be, not a divided Nigeria, not a Nigeria that is sown on
hate.

“Also not a Nigeria that will be based on acrimony,
ethnicity and tribal sentiments in the way we conduct
ourselves.

“That is a reason we set up that committee and we have
given them the free will.

“Some people are still instigating others that the president is doing this, the government does not have the capacity to do that.’’

Mr Jonathan, however, assured “that government is totally committed to doing what is right.’’

The president further reassured that his administration
would implement the reports of previous committees set
up by government on National Dialogue.

He said some of the reports had already been submitted to the National Assembly for further considerations.

“Even the Justice Uwais’s committee that was set up, that report was passed on to the National Assembly in 2010.

“We brought Belgore and others and I said in 2005
Nigerians discussed some things; why don’t we begin to
implement some of them.

“So, we need to come up with some bills in those areas we have agreed and we will push them to the National
Assembly.

“Of course, some of those bills have not come out from the National Assembly, but we believe that even in the
constitution amendment that is going on, some will be
useful.’’

The president, therefore, enjoined Nigerians to impress it
on their representatives in the National and State Houses
of Assembly to work together and ensure the proposals
were enshrined in the constitution.

He thanked God that in spite of the challenges facing the
country, the Muslims were able to celebrate the Eid-El-
Kabir.

He urged Nigerians to inculcate in their children the virtues that would encourage unity in the country to ensure that the coming generations lived in peace.

“We must build a Nigeria that wherever you go you call the next person your own brother or sister,

“A Nigeria that our young children who will become adult
will say that I am proud to be a Nigerian, not a Nigeria that people will kill them probably because they don’t recognise them.

“The killing has been going on in some parts of the
country; it has nothing to do with religion and ethnicity.

“That is why I asked those who killed those 50 students if
they even bothered about their religion our ethnicity?

“It has nothing to do with religion, it has nothing to do with ethnicity, it is because the world generally is experiencing terrorism.’’

aluta2: what proof did you want again. Okay you want sahara reporters to show when the keys are been handover to de minister. Let's condem what's bad no matter whose side you are
Please read through this narrative and point out specifically how the minister forced NCAA to buy those cars
The documents obtained by SaharaReporters indicate that the transaction for the purchase of the two BMW vehicles started in June 2013. However, the request for delivery of and payment for the two vehicles was fast-tracked between August 13 and 15 2013. The transaction
involved the NCAA, First Bank of Nigeria, and Coscharis
Motors Limited.

In a letter dated August 13, 2013, J.D Nkemakolam of the
NCAA sent a letter to the Managing Director of Coscharis
Motors asking the company to deliver to the NCAA two
BMW 760 armored vehicles based on a pro-forma invoice
dated June 25, 2013 at the cost of N127, 575,000
($796,846.21) each. The total amount for the two vehicles came to N255,150,000, or $1,593,687.31. The NCAA’s letter directed Coscharis Motors to deliver the vehicles with sales invoices, delivery notes, and attestation documents.

Our documents reveal that the payment for the vehicles
was made into a First Bank of Nigeria account (number
2018912995 with sort code: 0111152303), according to a letter signed by Godwin Umeaka, Coscharis’ group
financial controller.

The two black BMW Li HSS vehicles had chases numbers
WBAHP41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044
respectively. The two cars were delivered to the NCAA on
August 13, 2013, where it was received by two store
managers, F. Onoabhagbe and Y.A. Amzat (who is also
the agency’s head of transport). On August 15, 2013,
Sola Ogunsakin of the NCAA signed off to certify
completion of the transaction.

PoliticsBauchi To Build 140MW Power Plant by awodman(op): 6:21pm On Oct 12, 2013
The Bauchi state government has concluded
arrangements with a Chinese firm to
construct a 140 megawatts state independent
power plant.

Briefing journalists in Abuja, the state governor,
Alhaji Isa Yuguda explained that the project will
cost $201m and will be completed in nine months.


Governor Yuguda added that the Chinese EXIM
bank is providing the funds, which the state will
pay back over a period of twenty five years.

The federal government has provided a sovereign
guarantee for the project.

The governor added that sixty per cent of the
power generated from the plant will be delivered to
the national grid while the remaining 40 per cent
will be distributed within the state.


It will be recalled that governor Isa Yuguda
sometime in February this year expressed optimism
that an Independent Power Plant, IPP, would soon
be established in the state.

Yuguda, who was in the delegation led by the
Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala which
visited China, said the trip would soon yield positive
dividends as the proposed IPP would be built in the
state.

He stated that discussions were held with a
Chinese Engineering Corporation,to build the
power plant.

What else, for reasonable and morally upright folks, is there to talk about when it has been shown that the N3.2 billion Oando spent is much, much less than the figure can be depending on legitimate factors that skew total cost considerably? A reasonable and well-educated person, perhaps making informed decisions daily in life, will know only a detailed cost breakdown can prove anything either way since the engineering + or - cost limit actually validates what Oando spent !!!
