More Prospect for East-West Road as Chief Ollor Engage Fashola, RCC and Others..

- Work to Commence Soon..

The lingering uncertainties surrounding the commencement of work on the Eleme Axis of the East-West road will soon be a foregone issue following a recent engagement between the Executive Chairman of Eleme LGA Council Chief Hon Obarilomate Ollor, the Honourable Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Raji Fashola and the
Managing Director/CEO of Reynolds Construction Company Nigeria Limited R.C.C Engr. Nader Yusuf in Abuja.

Chief Ollor who expressed disappointment over the negligence on the part of the Federal government and the lingering uncertainties surrounding the commencement of work on the dilapidated section of the East
-West road insisted on the immediate deployment of the contractor to site to ease the suffering of road users.

Chief Ollor questioned why a significant project of that magnitude is still been delayed after been transferred from Niger Delta ministry to ministry of works and also the recent directive by President Muhammadu Buhari assigning the funding of the project to NNPC.

In his response, The Honourable Minister of Works Babatunde Fashola called for calm noting that there are more prospects for the East-West despite the delay. He assured the Chairman of Federal Government's commitment to a lasting solution as further reviews have been done to include 15 kilometers drainage on both sides of the road and the addition of more lanes.

Fashola expressed hope that Federal Executive Council in a short while will make necessary approvals for the commencement of work.
This according to him is to avoid a repeat of what transpired previously were the contractor was mobilized to site but later pulled out.

According to him, the necessary paperwork are ready and will be presented to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) for approval so the contractor can move to site for both palliative and full-scale work to commence respectively.

He stated that the idea behind the palliative work is to make the road passable, ease the suffering of road users and reduce the influx of vehicles through the communities while full-scale work will be ongoing.

Chief Ollor also extended his engagement to the head office of Reynolds Construction Company Nigeria Limited R.C.C in Abuja and was received by the Managing Director/CEO Engr. Nader Yusuf.

Engr. Nader Yusuf assured the Chairman of his readiness to mobilize his team to site as soon as he gets the needed attention from the federal government through the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.

Those present at the meeting include: The Hon. Minister of Works and Housing Babatunde Raji Fashola. Hon.Minister of State Umar I. El-Yakub.
Engr Uzor.Ag.Permanent Secretary
Engr.Esan Director construction & Rehabilitation.

The people of Eleme Local Government Area in Rivers State have trooped out in their numbers on social media to condemn the recent declaration of their son Stanley Mgbere wanted by the Rivers State Government. The Governor of Rivers State during a statewide broadcast on Friday 23rd of October 2020 declared Mr Stanley wanted for leading the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB to destroy properties in Onne.
A large number of sons and daughters of Onne have condemned the governor's statement, that it was without investigation and proof. Photos all over the air shows the said Stanley raising the Nigeria flag which totally discredits the governor's statement.
The people of Eleme are calling on the governor to free their son and carry out proper investigation.

Whoever informed Wike that Stanley Mgbere led IPOB youths to cause unrest must prove it. Stanley held the Nigeria flag during the peaceful protest in Onne, I wonder where the issue of IPOB came from. #FreedomForStanley

OP get your information correctly, there's no road like that in Onne. I can confidently tell you that the accident in that picture wasn't in Onne

A member of his cabinet died, he didn't lockdown government house, a local government chairman died, the LGA wasn't lockdown, just the death of a bank manager and he licked down the business hub of the state. He should come out open as say what the people of Onne has done wrong. The last time he destroyed a hotel and he's here again for a total lockdown

Protest reaches third day

In 2005 the federal government of Nigeria privatized the national fertilizer company of Nigeria, NAFCON in a controversial purchase estimated to have cost about 20.5 billion Naira($152million)
NOTORE was chiefly (major shareholder) purchased by James Ibori a former delta state Governor through an engineering and oil servicing company named o'seul Nigeria limited which was handed over to NOTORE on May 9th 2006 in a brief ceremony at hotel presidential port Harcourt.
The entire purchase was done without a due consultation with the Onne community-no town hall meeting.
A committee was set to draft a memorandum of understanding headed by Justice Godwin Ollor which up till date ,not even a paragraph of the MOU has been implemented.
NOTORE produces urea fertilizer using the Hyber batch process. A plant that can be equated to a nuclear plant, not to talk of the poisonous emission of pollutants like carbon monoxide, VOC's, Hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxides , Ammonia to water bodies etc. Yet no concern to secure the lives of those living around the neighborhood.
Life span around ONNE has been shortened to the average of 40-60 years.
To say but the least, Notore has a staff strength of over 400 workers ( third party not included) yet the indegenes of ONNE working are not up to 29 persons (FACT)
What an injustice!
Notore has operated in ONNE for 10 years yet not even a project to show for.
The ONNE people have been patient enough.
Youth leaders exhaust their tenures trying to negotiate a way forward but their tenures elapse unfulfilled. This is because notore prefers to invest money in hiring and training mafians that will brainwash their host, not to talk of the billions spent on security to scare the people of ONNE.
Where did we offend notore?
If notore feels that what we are claiming is not correct, why not come up and inform the public?
We gave our land!
We gave our water bodies!
We gave our hospitality (no staff has ever been harmed)
We gave our all.
Conclusively, let it be on record that notore promised to have a town hall meeting with the people of ONNE ( 7th Feb. 2020 by 10am)
The market square was filled with women, men,youth and children yet they did not show up but went on to fill their gate with over 200 soldiers to kill our people if any attempt is made to demonstrate at the company's gate.
If a single person is hurt among the people protesting, the world will hear us.

Residents and shop owners counted their losses at Amassoma, the Niger Delta University (NDU), Bayelsa State following an outbreak of fire in Friday evening.

It was gathered that the fire broke out from one of the shops located close to the NDU main gate.

The fire was said to have spread to other stretch of shops consuming goods and other valuables belonging to the victims.

Hundreds of residents besieged the scene but were helpless because of unavailability of fire fighters.

It was learnt that the university, which is located in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area had no fire bay and no firefighting equipment and personnel in the entire university community.

The only state fire service is located in Yenagoa, the state capital, and it takes a journey of over an hour to get to the community.

A student of NDU, who spoke in confidence, said it was not the first time a section of the community was gutted by fire.

“The last time it was a section of the market before a firefighting truck arrived the community from Yenagoa, the entire area had been razed.

“We dont have a fire service in the university and the entire community and it will take over an hour for a firefighting truck to get to Amassoma from Yenagoa”, she said.

Also, Faith Joe, a final year student of Accounting, said her project work, which she took to one of the shops for binding was destroyed by the fire.

“I have spent a lot on this project but the fire destroyed everything”, she cried.

She said the fire incident started from a heap of refuse set ablaze by some residents.

She, however, said residents battle the fire and brought it under control after it had destroyed many shops.

The hustle is real

What has APC got to do with this? The resolution made was not done only by APC governors. It was a general resolution by the governors of the 36 states. Don't be blinded by party sentiments.

The Passing Out Parade of corp members after the three weeks orientation course at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Yikpata, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State was graced with jubilation when the Governor of Kwara State Abdulfatah Ahmed ably represented by the Head of Service (HoS) Mrs. Susan Modupe Oluwole announced the onward payment of five thousand naira N5,000 state allowance to corp members posted to Kwara State. He encouraged corp members to accept the culture of their places of primary assignment even as he is charged with the responsibility of ensuring peace in the state.

I saw this in Onne in front of Prodeco gate.

She was like "This relationship is not leading us anywhere"

I registered at the INEC office in Eleme LGA, Rivers state. I didn't spend up to 30 minutes. They had about 8 staffs attending to people. The only issue was that they had just one printer.

I am glad I was a beneficiary of the INTELS scholarship of 2015. #250,000 no be beans.

Picture or I don't believe it.

All is now set for the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic to begin a nationwide strike action beginning from Monday 13th November 2017.

RIWAMA sole administrator and Rivers PDP chairman has spoken.

omiaruk:

Did u elect Aisha Buhari? Or did u allocate any money in the budget to her?

Allah be praised.

Everyone in Eleme knows Marvis to be the daughter of the respected King Emerge J. E. Nkpornwi. Anyone who doubts should ask anyone in Onne where the popular Palace road leads to. It leads to the Palace of HRM. King J.E Nkpornwi. The post at the popular Nafcon Junction can attest that he is a king. No one can dispute it. Dorathy should face her studies and leave the matters meant for elders.

Good one.

A Governor is donating #14 million, while Academic and Non academic staff of Abia State polytechnic are being owed over 7months salary. Students are seated at home because lecturers are on strike.
