PoliticsRe: Subsidy Fraud: EFCC Withdraws Charges Against Four Suspects by dedeike: 7:33pm On Jul 31, 2012
[quote author=A-ZeD]DEDEIKE
Can we see your update list of achievements?[/quote]When there's need for me to update I will update. But now we are discussing about another issue entirely.
On Friday, I celebrated the remarkable and unprecedented prosecution of big oil thieves , who incidentally are sons to leaders of the ruling party.
I reckoned that it was indeed a bold step by this administration to implement the subsidy probe which has never happened before.
However, if this report is true, then it creates a bad impression of the prosecutions. It sends the wrong signal that govt may be selective in its application of justice.
I don't agree with this move but i will need to verify this report first because a lot of falsehood trend on Nairaland.

zeal500: @post you will surely roast in hell
i just passed that road now and that is one death trap that has no end at site
for posting this you will surely be judged by the blood of all the innocent men,women and children that have perished on that road.
The truth is that all liars are bound to go to Hell. You are the one who is hell bound, except you repent, for crediting me with a road that I never mentioned.
It is your paymasters that the blood of these innocent souls will judge for abandoning these roads in these dilapidated state all through their tenure.
I pray GOD to guide GEJ to continue his works and even do this Enugu-PORTHARCOURT road before the expiration of this term.
I also pray GOD to forgive your paymasters who abandoned all these roads including the Benin-Ore highway which was a death trap.

Anytime I log out and come back to see that this thread is still discussing about a road I never mentioned while avoiding the numerous other ones I listed, I feel very happy for GEJ.
Happy because in one year, GEJ has undertaken the construction of so many roads leaving his critics with no other option than to lie.

I'm yet to see somebody say GEJ has not completed Owerri-Onitsha, I'm yet to see anyone argue that BENINI-ORE is not under construction. I am yet to see ome body say that JULIUS BERGER is not handling APAPA-OSHODI, I'm yet to see anyone say there's no dedicated bridge built by GEJ from Liverpool into Tin can.

Other projects like renovation of all the four major airports are there but all the critics have carefully avoided disputing it.
This desperation can not get your paymasters anywhere close to victory in 2015.
Get that into your dull brains

Nightshift: Dude, how recent have you driven on Enugu/Onitsha Road? PDP people have been using 'nearing completion' on that road since the last two years. You know what baffles me is, that the party's big wigs, Mr. Ekweremadu and Mrs. Madueke have the power to lobby Mr. President to finish that road faster.
Yeah, I must acknowledge that work is actually slow due to funding issues. The road was hitherto abandoned by previous govts but the President had to review the contract terms and make funds available. It's captured in the 2012 budget as ongoing projects so hopefully, it will be completed soon.

PoliticsRe: 'Massive Re-construction' Of Enugu/PH Expressway (Pic) by dedeike: 12:25pm On Jul 31, 2012
Let me press the rewind button so as to put to shame all these shameless hirelings.

finance ministry is carrying out bio metric evaluation of federal civil servants  to reduce waste. The checks revealed the pension scam of over 120 billion. There is the new integrated online payment system which helps the minister monitor transfer of public funds. Our foreign reserves have risen again to 37 billion dollars. There's the proposed Soveriegn Wealth Fund to cater for excess oil sale proceeds.

In Energy, a lot of reforms. The president is keen on transparency and thus has set up probes into the sector viz KPMG AUDIT and AIG IMOUKHEDE. The president sought to close the window of corruption by removing subsidy but the cabal misled Labour into a protest. That notwithstanding, the reforms are still ongoing and the full deregulation of the downstream sector being vigorously pursued. Last week, the FG had concluded the PIB which remains a landmark legislation that will revolutionarize the petroleum  industry. Refineries are undergoing repairs and an American company, VULCAN is to build six more new refineries.

In roads, Zaria-Funtua-Gusau roads, Oshodi-Apapa with expansion and drainage works,  dedicated bridge frm liverpool roundabout to Tin can ports, trailer park, Dualisation  of Ibadan -Ilorin, rehabilitation of ENUGU-Onitsha, completion of OWERRI -Onitsha,    9th mile, ongoing reconstruction of Benin-Ore-Sagamu highway measuring over 265 km, Kano-Maidugri Dualisation. Keffi -Akwanga-Lafia, award of Afikpo-Okigwe, Auchi-Okene being handled by Setraco. Loko-Eweta-Karishi bridge, Kolo-Nembe -Brass  to mention but a few.

In Transport, massive reforms at the ports. Sanitisation and reduction of operating agencies to 7. Introduction of 24 hrs ports operation. Ongoing Construction of light gauge train railways across t4 cardinal point of the federation

In  Aviation, massive reconstruction of major airports in the land, Enugu airport is undergoing total rehabilitation. The domestic wing of Abuja airport is also being reconstructed with expansion of roads and car parks. Same fr the international wing and the kano airports

In Education, establishment of 9 new federal universities in less than 1 year. Constructed 2 new campuses of the Nigerian law schools in Yenagoa and Yola respectively. Launched the Almajiri schools for education of itenerant Islamic pupils in the north wFhich Buhari and other northern leaders abandoned. Increased funding to almost 400 billion to education thereby setting an all time highest record. Reinvigorated the inspectorate oversight of schools leading to the revocation of some licenses from universities. Executed the landmark upgrade of university lecturers retirement age from 65 to 70. 

 In agriculture, for the first time in our history, we have a clearly defined agricultural policy which is targeted towards maximum utilisation of cassava for growth thru the launch of the cassava bread campaign. The policy is intended to reduce our reliance on imported wheat so as to encourage local production of cassava and it's conversion to flour for bakery. The FG has in less than one year eliminated the middlemen cartel that fed fat on fertiliser distribution at the expense of local farmers. Now through deregulation reforms, fertiliser is now accessible in the open market. he has also embarked on massive construction of silos and has increased import duties on the importation of rice in order to encourage local farmers. The efforts of the minister has been so appreciable that the world bank assisted with over 50 billion Naira for fertiliser redistribution scheme/ silos. The CBN has also set up a 500 billion loan scheme which is to assist farmers.

In power, the NIPP has been revived with the subsequent refurbishment of Afam, Alaoji, Calabar, GEREGU, Omotosho, papalanto power plants. This has led to the addition last December of 4,000 megawatts from barely 1700 to the national grid. To address the problem of distribution,  the 18 successor companies have been slated for privatization.  The media is already awash with news of the proposed privatization next week. The reforms include the review of tariffs in order to ensure a cost reflective tariff that will encourage private sector participation in the building of gas plants. Already, this has started yielding dividends as SPDC has commenced processes towards building a gas plant in IMO state.

onomeasike: This thread will thrash out how Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in her capacity as the minister of finance has been very wicked and untruthful. The bible asks us to guard our loins with the truth. Truth is divine and constant. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala sadly is untruthful and ungodly so far in her conduct in managing our collective wealth

Firstly, I will not bore you with the unsettled allegation that the celebrated paris club debt exit facilitated by her was to buoy up her dream of clinching the plum job of the world bank president,that the dream failed to materialise can be left better imagined.In life,even dishonest people ,when the chips are down,will never entrust that valuable assets to dishonest people.

back to the Budget 2012,okonjo's role is very pathetic.That even with her Harvard qualification,she could still deceive her compatriots shows that education
This is where the malice started. Perhaps this foolish writer was not in Nigeria when we were appropriating billions yearly for servicing of debts.
Just like subsidy, almost a quarter of our national budget went into servicing debts. The Paris club was on our neck.FDI was hampered.
Okonjo Iweala came and bailed us out of this cloak.
It was now decided that the monies saved from the debt relief package be utilized to set up the MDG office.
The MDG is now fully established and running several projects across the federation.
The FG and the world bank now run counterpart funding of the MDG projects

superior1: Laptop 15, the OP has been giving facts backed by newspaper articles. You need to state contrary facts (backed by newspaper articles) to make your statement a little sensible.
You call that rubbish from a phantom online newspaper facts? No independent analysis, no sensible statistics just the excerpts of a press conference issued by the Lagos state govt by itself.
It's akin to marking and scoring your own script by yourself. If this self assessment is what you call proof then, I don't know why you are tearing your pants over Okonjo's self assessment of her performance too.
Okonjo's press statements where she scored budget performance 56% abound in our major dailies, not in phony online journals.
And given the time frame of the passage of this budget, which was in April, Okonjo deserves an Olympic medal for achieving 56 % in July.

It just remains for you guys to convert GEJ to a policeman and deploy him to the streets. For the past one month, we have enjoyed relative peace in Nigeria until yesterday when these urchins attacked some parts of the north. This invitation has been extended to the Nigerian President a month back and he gave them their word to attend. It will also be recalled that the Jamaican president had visited Nigeria severally in the past.
So what you guys desire is for Gej to stay back from this invitation in order to fight Boko Haram? As if that will satisfy haters that he is doing something?
Even if GEJ decides to go and live in Maidugri, you haters will still come on this forum to call him clueless and Retardeen. so the man no longer gives a damn about these your rantings. After all, it's big business for Kobojunkie and co.

Truth will always prevail over lies. HARD FACTS SPEAK FOR ITSELF.


Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala/Finding the Fiscal Balance ****
The undisputable power-house in the Jonathan administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who doubles as the Coordinating Minister for Economy and Minister of Finance, no doubt, added credibility to the cabinet based on her formidable credentials locally and internationally.

A stickler for probity and excellence, Okonjo-Iweala’s persistent campaign for the effective management of the nation’s resources informed the government’s decision to adopt fiscal discipline, cut down on waste, and rein in debt and the budget deficit, especially in the 2012 budget.

This resulted in slight reduction of recurrent expenditure this year. Her target, however, is to cut recurrent spending to about 65 per cent of the total budget by 2015 so that more resources can be deployed on capital projects.

The minister, who narrowly lost her bid for the presidency of World Bank, has worked on rebuilding the nation’s decimated savings in the Excess Crude Account (ECA), which currently stands at $4.3 billion, and this is despite the monthly withdrawals by the three tiers of government. She has also been in negotiations with the 36 states of the federation to start up the Sovereign Wealth Fund as a replacement for the ECA.

Under her watch, the government established the Subsidy Re-investment Programme, through which savings accruing to the three tiers of government from the partial removal of the subsidy on petrol, can be deployed to projects. In her bid to keep the public informed on the savings, her ministry each month publishes the figures accruing to the federal, states and local governments under SURE-P.

In the area of the management of the Petroleum Support Fund, Okonjo-Iweala, in a bid to improve probity, terminated the appointment of the two audit firms contracted to verify fuel imports and discharge of the commodity at the depots. She also constituted a committee to verify outstanding subsidy claims by oil marketing companies.

Which house subsidy probe? You are still clinging unto that caricature which offered Facroock a license to cap banking. No serious minded fellow in Nigeria still reckons with that sham.The report is not worth the paper it's written on .
The problem with so many of us is that we dont read.
If you read widely, you would have known that the AIG committee set up by Okonjo and co actually revealed more rot in the system and indicted additional 45 names that FACROOK exonerated under his cap banking policy.
see the backpage of yesterday's Sunday THISDAY SIMON KOLAWOLE LIVE for more details.
It is this woman that is piloting all the transperancy in the system.
Her crime at the moment is that she has refused to release money without proper verification of its purpose.
And that is why the corrupt politicians and civil servants are grumbling.

What do you mean by her policies do not favour the common man on the streets? This woman negotiated our debt relief from the Paris club and as a result the MDG office was set up to recoup benefits from the debt relief.
MDG projects abound in health centers, primary schools, boreholes, community halls etc across the federation. As at June, the MDG office awarded over 4, 000 new projects.
And you ignorantly come here to say her policies don't benefit the common man.
At the moment, she is cutting wastages and reducing our recurrent expenditure. She is driving at increasing our capital expenditure for the benefit of the common man. Who benefits more when a govt demphasies on recurrent expenditure, common man or the elite?
This woman slashed the allowances of lawmakers by over 40%. Who benefits from this, common man or the elite?
This woman publishes monthly statutory allocations to states and LG's, who benefits from this info? Common man or elite?
This woman decided to create a sovereign wealth fund instead of excess crude account where govts share money monthly. Who benefits from this idea? Common man abi elite?
