The Federal Government has also approved US $47.5m for Automatic Fuel Management and Sensor System, which will help to know the actual production and consumption of oil in the country.


“FEC approved US $973.6m contract for the construction of 420.6 km Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe road. The project scope is the expansion of the current two-lane highway into a dual carriage way.

Its a lie we will not take it. GEJ already began this project and left it at 80% completion. PMB has nothing to do with this project

In his address, chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media, Alhaji Abdulrazak Namdas, representing Atiku’s constituency, said the votes in his area are intact for President Buhari.

He said with the award of the project, the people of his constituency have no alternative presidential candidate than Buhari.

The minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola yesterday, flagged-off the 112km dilapidated Jada town road, which leads to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s hometown, at the cost of N22.7bn.

While speaking at the occasion, the minister said the contract is in line with the present administration’s commitment to addressing infrastructural deficit in the country.

The minister, who was represented by the minister of state, Alhaji Mustafa Baba Shehuri, said the project is aimed at providing the much-needed impetus to stimulate economic growth and the ease of doing business with neighbouring Cameroon Republic and other states.

“The road serves as a vital link between Taraba State and Cameroun, as well as Mambila Hydro Power plant and other agricultural communities,” he said.

He stated that the road has outlived its service life and is characterised with several failed sections, multiple cracks, depression and washouts at the edges at different sections of the existing alignment.

The minister, who said the contract would last for 36 months, directed the contractor-Traicta Nigeria Limited to commence work immediately and warned the firm against poor job.

In his address, chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media, Alhaji Abdulrazak Namdas, representing Atiku’s constituency, said the votes in his area are intact for President Buhari.

He said with the award of the project, the people of his constituency have no alternative presidential candidate than Buhari.

Governor Mohammed Jibrilla Bindow, appealed to the Federal Government to also consider other federal roads in the state, which are in bad condition for reconstruction.

The contract was awarded in 2011 and not 2013.

Now you are claiming it was 60% ready. Did you not just say it was 80% ready earlier?

SarkinYarki:
The contract for The bridge was awarded in 2013 and by 2014 it was already 60 percent complete with and commission schedule of 2015 which was very well in course till the dullard came forth

We go dey open their yansh and the yansh of their ineffectual buffoon all day every day

He lost the election and handed over to an incompetent tyrant who failed meet the 2015 schedule and till date hasn't.

Butterflyleo:
Initiated in 2013 and and completed by PMB in 2018. Continuity is everything. Gej should have finished it and taken the glory but he who finishes rather than abandons is the one with a good head on his shoulders.

SarkinYarki:
Liar liar liar !!!!!!!A bridge that was already at 80 percent before Jonathan [/b]handed over to Buhari and Buhari hasn't still completed in 3 years..

jomonic:
What is the relevance and logic of the argument that Igbo did not contribute to APC. Lets be real please.

jomonic:
Yes that is the only way. Just like in 1999, head or tail the ballots yielded a Yoruba. Please don't also forget that the Yoruba did not take part in voting the PDP in 1999 but had the guts to claim the presidency after OBJ was crowned. Remember the famous statement from one of the sons of the SW who said that PDP was implementing Afenifere agenda. So if it is about reaping where you did not sow please don't go there.

DozieInc:
The current administration is a national disaster... which Niger bridge??, the one seen only in pictures?, maybe the projects are too big to be seen or They are spiritual projects.
They say questions exposes deception... you are just spewing the usual lies.

I know you are working really hard to defend your pay masters... but that shouldn't excuse stupidity.

Give Igbos and Nigerians one legitimate reason to re-elect Buhari.

How would voting Buhar in 2019 ensure Igbo presidency in 2023?

AmuDimkpa:
Seems this site is about Igbo this, Igbo that. Nawa o. I am scrolling down the topics and I am seeing many topics about Igbo. It is boring .

This dwarf has no sense, he can win but it doesn’t mean we must vote for someone we don’t believe in. Buhari has failed, he can only win because he is contesting in Nigeria where people are moved by ethnic and religious considerations. If it were in sane climes, he would never become a politician , same can be said about most of the politicians in Nigeria .

Igbo people of suffering from self-inflicted marginalization

tuniski:
Only zombies think Saraki can be impeached !

DozieInc:
How would voting APC in 2019 guarantee Igbo presidency in 2023??

What has the APC government done to include Igbos?

What major project has been completed or started in the SE since 2015??

Has the Buhari administration been beneficial to the Igbos?

Does Tinubu harbour a personal ambition for 2023?

Honestly, the Buhari administration so far has confirmed the suspicions of most Igbos -he is not a nationalist and is a nepotic.
He seems too outdated to govern a complex and diverse country as Nigeria, his administration has failed woefully to deliver on his campaign promises.
The regions that voted massively for him (SW and The middle belt) have their fair share of disappointment in this administration.

Anyone that talks of voting Buhari come 2019 is either selfish and wicked or ignorant.

McDonJay:
Was Tinubu and Tambuwals invitations political in 2011 and 2013? Keep displaying ignorance.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has set up a committee to resolve the impasse over the demolition of Yinka Ayefele’s Music House in Ibadan.

Mr Ajimobi had set up the committee at a reconciliatory meeting with the popular musician in his office on Thursday in Ibadan.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr Ayefele in company with some of his workers had arrived at the Governor’s Office at about 11.30 a.m.

The governor said the demolition exercise was neither a witch-hunt nor politically motivated, insisting it was due to contravention of the state ’s property laws.



He also urged Mr Ayefele to ensure that his radio station embraced ethical reportage of the issue.

The Alaafin of Oyo, Lamidi Adeyemi, who was at the Governor’s Office in company of some monarchs, also pleaded with the governor to resolve the impasse.

Earlier, Mr Ayefele had stated that his office responded to all letters forwarded to it by the state government.

He expressed regrets at not being able to see the governor, adding that the emissaries he sent failed to deliver his messages.

Mr Ayefele stated that he remains a law-abiding citizen who is ready to comply with the regulations of the state government.

NAN reports that the committee, comprising of government official and some workers of Fresh FM station, including Mr Ayefele, had since commenced the resolution process.

The meeting, which lasted hours, was later adjourned for another day. (NAN)
