I must also say that Governor Ambode deserves special mention for his foresightedness in establishing this collaboration, working with Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi on the famous LAKE Rice and even leasing land from Ogun State to grow rice which I think is another act of collaboration,” Osinbajo said. In his address, State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode said the decision of the State Government to join the Oodua Investment Group triggered what has evolved over the last two years to become a signpost for effective partnerships between Lagos and other States.

The idea of an intra and inter-regional trade and cooperation is not new to Lagos State. Over the past years, our State has collaborated with Kebbi and other states from within the western region to drive economic growth and development,” Governor Ambode said. He said the immediate aim of the strategic partnership with Kano is to produce about 80 per cent of Nigeria’s agro-allied inputs such as wheat, groundnut, onions, maize, millet, sorghum, sugar cane and beef, adding that a Memorandum of Understanding would be signed by both States at the end of the Summit to demonstrate commitment to the sustainability of the partnership.


Also speaking, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje said his administration entered into the partnership with Lagos with a strong belief that it would create a veritable platform to drive home grown investments in the face of volatile global oil prices.


We need to redefine our investment climate and find alternative sources of financing critical sectors and projects as well as improve public service delivery,” he said. He said the State was looking towards effective partnership in Infrastructure, Agricultural Value Chain, Solid Minerals, ICT, Commence and Industry, medium and Small Scale Enterprises, Tourism, Governance and Institutions. On his part, president of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote commended the partnership between both States, just as he said that Lagos has clearly demonstrated its readiness for serious investments. “Lagos is more than ready for business. Our refinery, petrochemical, fertilizer and gas projects will generate N8trillion per annum for Nigeria when fully on stream.” he said.

12submarine:
Let each region control its resources and grow at its own pace, is that a case?

12submarine:
I am not Igbo and this should tell you it is not only Igbos that see the parasites as burden.

12submarine:
It is only in Nigeria that parasites claim right over the property of the host. These northern parasites disturbing Patience Jonathan because of money gotten from the resources of Niger Delta will soon shoot themselves in the foot. We shall see what will be the outcome of this drama.

12submarine:
Stop celebrating parasites. What Kano does is collecting, they don't give. Allow resource control and see the entire north in the same league with Somalia and Niger Republic.

are ALL the kings in lagos called emir or obi??from ikorodu to epe,all their culturre and customs are all PERFECTLY INDIGENOUS YORUBA culture....i bet you are igbo....the ONLY tribe that doesn't like their land and always arrogating what isnt theirs. Hausas as many as they are in lagos will NEVER drag lagos with the indigines. Have you heard idomas, tiv ,even ijaws drag this issue?NO . You know why? They are innately proud of their region and they understand how to respect their host. The deadly serpents(biafrans) amongst us are the ONLY notorious landgrabbers of Africa.......they are EVEN dragging Israel with the Israelis. Shameless ppl, shameless Pigs!!!

Approaching Okpoko market through thick smog on the back of an okada (motorcycle taxi), the natural reaction is to cover your nose to protect yourself from the dust storm – but the effort is futile.

When a lorry zooms past, kicking up yet another red cloud of dirt, a trader turns the head of a sleeping toddler away from the road, a protective act that is as poignant as it is pointless.

This is a typical day in the southern Nigerian port city of Onitsha – which last year gained notoriety when it was ranked the worst city in the world for the staggering levels of PM10 particulate matter in its air.

Onitsha’s mean annual concentration was recorded at 594 micrograms per cubic metre by the World Health Organization – massively exceeding the WHO’s annual guideline limit for PM10s of 20μg/m3.

PM10 refers to coarse dust particles between 10 and 2.5 micrometres in diameter, while PM2.5s are even finer and more dangerous when inhaled, settling deep in a person’s lungs. Sources of both include dust storms, gases emitted by vehicles, all types of combustion, and industrial activities such as cement manufacturing, construction, mining and smelting. Onitsha scores highly on most of the above – as do other rapidly growing Nigerian cities such as Kaduna, Aba and Umuahia, all of which also featured in the WHO’s 20 worst offenders for PM10s.

In Onitsha’s very busy Okpoko market, my air quality monitor registers 140 for PM10s and 70 for PM2.5s – all way over recommended healthy levels, but still nothing compared to the readings triggered in other parts of this densely populated commercial and industrial hub.

The entire vicinity of the market is perpetually dusty, as wood-sellers saw lumber into different shapes and sizes. The air here is made worse by all the fine sand particles that fly off the back of trucks as they visit one of the many dredging companies on the bank of the River Niger, just behind the wood market.

Before Abuja, Lagos was the capital of Nigeria, and it was the headquarter of National administration. This means that a share of the resource from all states of the federation where channeled to this region. Federal taxes on every single Nigerian was brought to Lagos, and all this where used to fasten the rate of advancement in the state. This is the reason why only Lagos state can compare to Abuja in terms of administration.

Same thing apply to Abuja, Look how much of the money from the Niger Delta is used to develop Abuja, same goes to revenue from every other part of Nigeria. For every Nigerian who gets taxed for their profit from sweat and hard work, a chunk of this resource is been channeled back to the capital, which is used for development of the city. So any attempt by any particular individual or group to take credit the development of Lagos or Abuja is an attempt born out of bigotry and hate

If say, Benue state is made capital of Nigeria, and federal presence skyrockets to record high levels i.e CBN headquarters is moved to benue, federal Secretariat moved to benue, Presidential villa, ministry of finance, ministry of defence, works and housing, transport, National administration, Senate, house of Reps e.t.c all moved to Benue. International Airport built in Benue, Certainly the condition and lifestyle of the people there will change for better. As a fraction of the income by all Nigerians, firms, states will be re directed to benue in the name of Federal tax. Benue state will suddenly appear like an investment hub where everyone will want to do business both National and International.

So if we say Lagos and now Abuja is belongs to everybody, it is not an insult, it is just basic fact. The locals of this regions should consider themselves lucky as every other state would jump at the opportunity they have or once had.

I repeat my stance No body can colombi, Lagos or Abuja, this states where developed by the hardwork of every single Nigeria making money no matter how small.

Always trying to measure up?

Apart from Cuba and brazil, there were no yoruba slaves anywhere else in the disapora outside the african continent.

While we have historical and colonial records of igbo slaves in the entire carribean nations, and the united states

The Greatest slave in History - olaudah Equiano is an igbo man. There is no measuring up here.

We already own it.

thank God I'm a bonafide native of Osogbo...and thats where ive spent most of my life.myopic people like you deserved to be beaten and whipped to stupor,giving a failure like Aregbe 80 Percent mark is an insult to our collective reasoning..

a man who can not bring any economic development to the state,he will leave the state in a huge debt,that even our own unborn generation will pay part of!
a man whose only big achievement is throwing innocent osun state citizens in to hunger and poverty....pls I hope you don't go to streets of ife,Ilesha and osogbo to say you give babahafusa 80 percent pass mark,you may be mobbed and killed by angry and hungry people.

his biggest legacy which is also the micron of his regime is the biggest scam ever,opon imo(some people call it opon iya,lol)

people are vexed and angry at both him and the idiot Buhari,to the extent people who have never voted before are determined to get PVC despite the seemingly difficulty in getting one just vote APC out.....
I will be extremely shocked if APC wins on September 22,there is nothing to reset a human being's brain more than hunger, currently ravaging our people.
